In 3G, the most prevalent technology was UMTS with CDMA-2000 in close contention. All radio access technologies have to solve the same problems: to divide the finite RF spectrum among multiple users as efficiently as possible. GSM uses TDMA and FDMA for user and cell separation. UMTS, IS-95 and CDMA-2000 use CDMA. WiMAX and LTE use OFDM.
The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is a 3G mobile cellular system for networks based on the GSM standard. Developed and maintained by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), UMTS is a component of the International Telecommunication Union IMT-2000 standard set and compares with the CDMA2000 standard set for networks based on the competing cdmaOne technology.
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks. They were allocated by delegates to the World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC-92) held in Málaga-Torremolinos, Spain between 3 February 1992 and 3 March 1992. [ 1 ]
For technical details on UMTS and a list of its designated operating frequencies, bands, and their common names, see UMTS frequency bands. Networks on the global UMTS-bands 1 and 8 are suitable for global roaming in ITU Regions 1, 2 (some countries) and 3. Networks on UMTS-bands 2 and 4 allow roaming in ITU Region 2 (Americas) only.
It is an implementation of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and was the world's first 3G mobile data service to commence commercial operations. A typical FOMA phone NTT DoCoMo also offers HSPA services branded FOMA High-Speed ( FOMAハイスピード ), which offers downlink speeds up to 7.2 Mbit/s and uplink speeds up to 5 ...
High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) [1] is an amalgamation of two mobile protocols—High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA)—that extends and improves the performance of existing 3G mobile telecommunication networks using the WCDMA protocols.
5.3.1.1.1 [4] 3_LOGICAL DTCH: dedicated traffic channel A point-to-point dedicated channel for transmitting user traffic information between a UE and the network. UL/DL 5.3.1.1.1 [4] 3_LOGICAL PCCH: paging control channel Transfers paging information. Used when the network does not know the location cell of the UE or the UE is in sleep mode. DL ...
UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) is a collective term for the network and equipment that connects mobile handsets to the public telephone network or the Internet. It contains the base stations, which are called Node B 's and Radio Network Controllers (RNCs) [ 1 ] which make up the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS ...
