Overview

Of
3G Mobile

3G AWARENESS
3G
is
the
next
generation
communications systems.

mobile

3G is basically an ITU defined set of standards,

which along with other specifications provides
for minimum data speed of 384 kbps.
It enhances the services such as
Multimedia
High speed mobile Broadband
Internet Access
Ability to view video footage on your mobile handset.

What is Third Generation?

1st Generation

2nd Generation

3rd Generation

Analog speech

Digital speech +

Third Generation System

Third generation systems are designed for

multimedia communications;
With them person to person communication
can be enhanced with high quality images
and video,
And access to information and services on
public and private networks will be
enhanced by higher data rates.

Mobile Soft switch Solution

Mobile soft switch enable a layered

architecture design for the mobile
circuit core , where the network
functions responsible for service
management & control and for
transport of service data are
physically & logically separated

Advantages of Mobile Soft switch Solution

1. Packet backbone technology (IP or ATM) enables

more efficient transmission of voice traffic over
the backbone by retaining the same voice coding
in the backbone as is used in the air interface
2. Access independent (GSM/WCDMA) core network
3. Reduction of backbone traffic
4. Simplification of network planning through
common core for WCDMA & GSM

UMTS network structure

UE = User Equipment
RAN = Radio Access Network
CN = Core Network
NMS = Network Management System

Radio Access Method is Wideband Code Division Multiple

Access
(WCDMA).
In GSM, we use TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) as the
transmission method between the different network elements.
For UMTS, ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) has been
chosen as the transmission method in the radio access
network.
The basic difference between TDM and ATM is that in TDM, we
use timeslots for conveying information between network
elements. In ATM, on the other hand, the data is transmitted in
cells (packets) of fixed size across the network. (An ATM cell
has 48 octets of payload, 5 octets of headers.)
