An introduction to third-generation (3G) mobile communication system principles, concepts and applications. It presents the basics of UMTS systems without getting bogged down in advanced mathematics. The volume contains: an overview of UMTS systems; information on 3G technology standards; a review of the wideband CDMA air interface; details on network architecture; and guidance in network planning and management. Other key topics include new concepts in the UTMS network, 3G system signalling procedures, 3G services and applications, modulation and coding, and standardization organizations and industry groups. Moreover, the work takes a look at the future of wireless communications, projecting the continued evolution of 3G systems.
