An all-encompassing coverage on UMTS Networks including an in-depth
discussion of current work on UMTS evolution and 4G .
"UMTS Networks and Beyond" offers a comprehensive introduction
to the networking aspects of UMTS and the networks coming after
UMTS. The book is unique in that it systematically compares how a
particular problem, e.g. obtaining connectivity, is solved in UMTS
and how the same problem is solved in a Computer Network such as
the Internet. It also highlights why the respective solutions are
so different.
The first part of the book provides a detailed technical
discussion of UMTS, including original vision, architecture,
protocol stacks and overall functionality. It places UMTS in the
context of its evolution of from GSM and its convergence with
Computer Networks. The second part of the book discusses today's
vision of 4G, and introduces upcoming networking technologies.
Emphasis is on LTE / SAE as successor of UMTS; UMB, WiMAX and NGN
are also discussed. The book gives an overview of what these
technologies are likely to offer, of their architectures, protocols
and functionality. It also discusses their differences and
similarities, and whether they will qualify as 4G.
Key Features: Provides readers, particularly those with a
background in IP-based networks, with a technical understanding of
what UMTS does, how it works and how it is likely to evolveExplains
the differences in design between UMTS Networks and Computer
Networks and discusses how these design divergences can be
reconciled in the futureShows how economic considerations shape the
design of UMTSMotivates why particular design choices are made in
UMTSGives an in-depth introduction to LTE / SAEProvides a detailed
picture of the state of the art in 4GIllustrates the theory with
numerous tables and figures
This comprehensive textbook is essential reading for advanced
students and lecturers in communications systems and networking. It
is also of interest to engineers and researchers in the field of
UMTS and communications systems.
