Product Description
Product Description
This book provides a comprehensive description of Radio Access Networks for UMTS . The main content is based upon the release 6 version of the 3GPP specifications. Changes since the release 99 version are described while some of the new features from the release 7 version are introduced.
Starting from the high–level network architecture, the first sections describe the flow of data between the network and end–user. This includes a dedicated chapter describing the Iub transport network. Detailed descriptions of both HSDPA and HSUPA reflect the increasing importance of efficient high data rate connections. Signalling procedures are described for speech, video and PS data connection establishment, SMS data transfer, soft handover and inter–system handover. The more practical subjects of link budgets and radio network planning are also addressed.
- More than 180 example log files reinforce the reader′s understanding
- Summary bullet points allow rapid access to the most important information
- Focus upon how data is transferred between the network and end–user
- Dedicated chapters provide detailed descriptions of both HSDPA and HSUPA
- Step–by–step analysis of common signalling procedures
- Key radio network planning subjects addressed
Radio Access Networks for UMTS is ideal for mobile telecommunications engineers working for equipment vendors, operators and regulators. It will also appeal to system designers, technical managers and students.

Format:Hardcover
This book includes very good chapters on HSDPA and HSUPA. There is plenty of detail and the explanations are clear. These two chapters occupy about 120 pages of the book. I would recommend them to anyone who wishes to learn about HSPA. The Signalling Procedures chapter also includes some HSPA information within the PS Data Connection Establishment section. In general, the entire book is packed with information - all 600 pages. There are plenty of figures, tables and log files to support the text. Well worth buying.

Format:Hardcover
I've been to a few training courses presented by Chris Johnson. This book provides a good reflection of his knowledge and clear presentation style. I like the way that a lot of the descriptions are based upon following the flow of data through the protocol stack. There are some good examples of what happens to the speech and data service bits as they are passed between layers. I like the tables which illustrate how the number of bits change during each phase of physical layer processing. This is shown for DCH as well as HSDPA and HSUPA connections. Some parts of the radio network planning sections are similar to those found in other books but there are sections which do not appear elsewhere, e.g. analysis of maximum neighbour list lengths. Link budgets are also presented and described in depth.

Format:Hardcover
This book includes a really good chapter on signalling procedures. Each of the procedures is described in a lot of detail. Signalling flows are shown but also the content of each message is shown and discussed. All of the most important procedures are included - connection establishments and handovers. Good to have SMS transfer explained too. Also finding the chapters on HSDPA and HSUPA very useful. Explanations are clear and start from the basics but also go into detail. Provides a good explanation to how data is transfered and at what data rates.
