    UMTS is a 3G mobile technology that provides improved data transmission capabilities beyond 2G systems like GSM. It allows for higher data rates up to 1Mbps, supports multimedia services, and uses CDMA for easier handover between cells. UMTS provides mobile internet access and location-based services to over 50% of populations in commercial operation in Europe and Japan.

    Generations of Mobile Communications

     1G The first Generation (analog)


     2G The second Generation (digital)
     GSM introduced in 1992
     3G The third Generation (evolution in
    terms of data speed & services)
    Introduction
    • Key member of 3G identified by ITU.
    • Evolution from 2G in terms of data speeds
    and services.
    • Compatible with GSM networks.
    • First launched in Japan in 2001.
    • Now operating commercially in Austria,
    UK, Sweden, Italy.
    Definition
     A third-generation mobile and wireless
    communications system capable of
    supporting multimedia services, beyond
    the capability of second generation
    systems such as GSM .
    Key features
     Capacity to serve more than 50% of
    population
     Wide range of services
     Voice
     Text messaging
     Low data rates & high data rates
    • 144kb/s,384kb/s,1Mb/s
     Internet
     Worldwide roaming
    Handover
     Definition
    Handover is a procedure, involving a
    change of physical channels, radio
    channels, involved in an association
    between a mobile terminal and the fixed
    network while maintaining this association.
    Handover
     Types
     Seamless and Non-Seamless HO
     Hard and Soft HO
     Forward and Backward HO
     Depending on why the HO is initiated
     Radio Link Driven (due to movement of MT)
     Traffic Driven ( for uniform distribution of traffic)
     Service Driven ( for specific service, QoS)
    Comparison to GSM

     New frequency band


    Network data rates
    CELLS
     Mobile communication system
    configurations are based on cells.
     The cell is a circular area surrounding the
    base-stations that is delimited by the
    radius of reach of base-stations signals.

     Same frequency, different users


     GSM – 0.5ms time slot for each freq.
    which makes HO difficult
    Frequency and time division (FDMA &
    TDMA)
    UMTS – spreads radio signals using CDMA
    Easier HO
