Terrestrial Radio Access Network ArchitectureSummary • UMTS is composed of Core Network, Radio Access Network and User Equipment. • The Radio Access Network (UTRAN) handles radio link connections, enabling Base Station handover. • Handover management is done at the UTRAN Controller. • The UMTS Fixed Network will evolve from the GSM Network model, following several phases.
