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.



Summary: Excellent UMTS Book
Rating: 5
After working on UMTS for a few years, many of the concepts were not completely clear. This book has done an excellent job of clarifying things. The practical approach really helps the reader to see how things fit together. The explanations in this book are detailed and thorough rather than the high level material found in other books. The book is well laid out and easy to follow. Key chapters on HSDPA, HSUPA, Signalling Proceedures and the Flow of Data. Definitely recommended reading for anyone who needs to learn about UMTS or improve their existing knowledge.


Summary: Clear and Complete Explanations
Rating: 5
This book has helped me a lot. The level of detail is greater than in other books, and the content is more practical. The majority of explanations are from first principles so you can follow them without having any prior knowledge. This approach of starting from the basics and leading into something more detailed results in a thorough analysis of each subject - probably why the book has more than 600 pages and uses a smaller font size than others. The summary bullet points at the start of each section are really useful. As is the use of example log files to support the explanations. The most used chapters for me are those on HSDPA, HSUPA, Signalling Procedures, Flow of Data and Radio Network Planning. Also good to see a complete chapter on the Iub interface.


Summary: An Essential Guide to UMTS
Rating: 5
This is a great book which includes many good explanations. I've been working on 3G for a few years but some subjects have remained unclear. This book has helped to clarify my understanding. The explanations start at a basic level but then become more detailed. The supporting log files showing the content of individual messages help to make the content more practical. The detailed explanations on the signalling procedures are really useful.


Summary: The Answer to Learning about UMTS
Rating: 5
Very well writen book which provides the reader with a strong understanding of UMTS. The content is suitable for both the beginner and more experienced engineer. Back-to-basics are included in addition to more detailed descriptions. The book is well structured and the practical emphasis demonstrates the author's experience in the subject.


Summary: Highly Recommended
Rating: 5
An excellent book packed with information. The content is clear and comprehensive. It has provided me with a good understanding of both HSDPA and HSUPA. The book serves as a very good reference for signalling procedures with the complete content of messages included. I highly recommend this one.
