3G System for Global Roaming www.assignmentpoint.com
3G System • The third generation (3G) cellular networks were developed with the aim of offering high speed data and multimedia connectivity to subscribers. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) provides the standard known as, IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommmunications-2000 for 3G systems. • The aim of IMT-2000 is to harmonize worldwide 3G systems to provide Global Roaming. www.assignmentpoint.com
A few technologies are able to fulfill the International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT-200) standards. The original members of the IMT-2000 family included the UMTS, CDMA2000, TD-CDMA, EDGE and DECT technologies. Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) TD-SCDMA (Time Division-High Speed Circuit Switched Data) EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) Digital Cordless Phones (DECT) like WiFi TD-CDMA ↔ Time-division-Code division multiple access www.assignmentpoint.com
Universal Wireless Communications, or UWC-136, is a proposed standard from the Universal Wireless Communication Consortium (UWCC)—a consortium of more than 85 telecommunications carriers and wireless product vendors—for a 3G (third-generation) wireless communication system. • UWC-136 is a pure Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology that is designed to be backward compatible with the existing IS-136 TDMA digital cellular phone system defined by the ANSI-136 and IS-41 standards and still widely used in North America. www.assignmentpoint.com
For IMT-2000intended Data Rates Low 144 kbits/s satellite and rural outdoor, Medium 384 kbits/s urban outdoor, High 2048 kbits/s indoor and low range outdoor. The speed of the MS above 10 Kmph will loose data rate. www.assignmentpoint.com
IMT-2000 Vision • Common Spectrum worldwide (1.8-2.2GHz band) • Multiple radio environments (cellular, cordless, satellite, LANs) • Wide range of telecommunication services (voice, data, multimedia, Internet) • Global seamless roaming • Enhance security and performance • Integration of satellite and terrestrial system. www.assignmentpoint.com

3G W-CDMA (UMTS) • Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is the generic name for 3G developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) based on the specifications of IMT-2000 developed by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). • The technology is based on the GSM standard. • Developed and maintained by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project ). • UMTS uses wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) radio access technology to offer greater spectral efficiency and bandwidth to mobile network operators. www.assignmentpoint.com
Here user-information bits are spread over a wide bandwidth (much larger than the information signal bandwidth) by multiplying the user data with the spreading code. The chip (symbol rate) rate of the spreading sequence is 3.84 Mcps, which, in the WCDMA system deployment is used together with the 5 MHz carrier spacing. • The core network is Asynchronous Transfer Method (ATM) allows circuit switched transfer of data using packets. High speed data transfer – currently maximum 10 Gbps. www.assignmentpoint.com
IPv6 Arguments are being pushed for the core network which would allow packets to be transferred directly from the internet to the device with no translation. • UMTS uses a pair of 5 MHz channels, one in the 1900 MHz range for uplink and one in the 2100 MHz range for downlink. The specific frequency bands originally defined by the UMTS standard are 1885–2025 MHz for uplink and 2110–2200 MHz for downlink. • Some of the key features include the support to two basic modes FDD and TDD, variable transmission rates, intercell asynchronous operation, adaptive power control, increased coverage and capacity, etc. www.assignmentpoint.com
Scrambler • Used for Data Encryption. Make call more secure. • Randomizes data. Prevents the transition of a long series of 1’s or 0’s www.assignmentpoint.com
UMTS UMTS is the European vision of 3G. UMTS is an upgrade from GSM via GPRS or EDGE. The standardization work for UMTS is carried out by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Data rates of UMTS are: 144 kbps for rural 384 kbps for urban outdoor 2048 kbps for indoor and low range outdoor Virtual Home Environment (VHE) www.assignmentpoint.com
UMTS System Architecture • A UMTS network consists of three interacting domains: Core Network (CN), UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) and User Equipment (UE) or ME. • The 3G system terminal is called ‘‘UE’’ and it contains two separate parts: Mobile Equipment (ME) and the UMTS Service Identity Module (USIM). USIM contains member specific data and enables the authenticated entry of the subscriber into the network. www.assignmentpoint.com

Core Network (CN) : • The Core Network is divided in circuit switched and packet switched domains. • Some of the circuit switched elements are Mobile services Switching Centre (MSC), Visitor location register (VLR) and Gateway MSC. • Packet switched elements are Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN). Some network elements, like EIR, HLR, VLR and AUC are shared by both domains. • To provide switching, routing and transit for user traffic. The basic CN architecture for UMTS is based on the GSM network with GPRS. www.assignmentpoint.com
Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) interfaces the access network of MS and the Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) connects UMTS core network with external packet network like Internet, X.25 or similar. • The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is defined for UMTS core transmission. The ATM Adaptation Layer type 2 (AAL2) handles the circuit switched connection and the packet connection protocol AAL5 is designed for data delivery. www.assignmentpoint.com

3G TD-SCDMA • Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access, or TD-SCDMA, is a 3G mobile telecommunications standard, being pursued in the People's Republic of China by the Chinese Academy of Telecommunications Technology (CATT). • This proposal was adopted by ITU as one of the 3G options in late 1999. TD-SCDMA is based on spread spectrum technology. www.assignmentpoint.com
Three system parameters Coverage Capacity Quality Three system parameters coverage area of a cell, quality of voice and capacity of physical channel are interlinked. Enhancement of any parameter will degrade another two parameters. For example if coverage area of a cell is increased then delay difference of multipath propagation will also increase hence BER will be high. To keep the BER within tolerable range chip rate i.e. capacity of the channel has to be reduced or size of the cell must be lowered to reduce the delay difference of mulipath propagation. www.assignmentpoint.com
