Understanding 3G UMTS Networks
DURATION : 3 Days.
UMTS – Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, is the 3G successor to the GSM family of standards including GPRS and EDGE.
3G UMTS uses a totally different radio interface based around the use of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum as CDMA or Code Division Multiple Access.
Although 3G UMTS uses a totally different radio access standard, the core network is the same as that used for GPRS and EDGE to carry separate circuit switched voice and packet data.
UMTS uses a wideband version of CDMA occupying a 5 MHz wide channel. Being wider than its competition CDMA2000 which only used a 1.25MHz channel, the modulation scheme was known as wideband CDMA, or WCDMA / W-CDMA. This name was often used to refer to the whole system.
