Japan USA What is 3GPP? • 3GPP stands for 3rd Generation Partnership Project • It is a partnership of 6 regional SDOs (Standards Development Organizations) • These SDOs take 3GPP specifications and transpose them to regional standards
3G Technologies Overview • 3GPP : UMTS • Phase 1 (3GPP release 5) : HSDPA service, • Phase 2 (3GPP release 6):HSUPA Uplink high-speed data • Phase 3 :(3GPP release 7) HSPA+ Capacity Improvements in UL and DL, above 10 Mbps • Next-Generation Cellular System (in about 2010) (LTE) Release 8 • 100 Mbps DL and 50 Mbps UL full-mobility wide area coverage • 1 Gbps low-mobility local area coverage

GSM Architecture Overview • A GSM system is made up of three subsystems: • The mobile station (MS) • The Base station subsystem (BSS) • The Network and switching subsystem (NSS) • The interfaces defined between each of these sub systems include: • “A” interface between NSS and BSS • “Abis” interface between BSC and BTS (Within the BSS) • “Um” air interface between the BSS and the MS
