Mobile Communication System

Reviews of GPRS
Standardization of GPRS was important cornerstone for the
development of UMTS network GPRS defines an add-on for data services within the GSM networks - packet orientated approach to data switching Allocation of channels request-driven Todays bandwidth of 53.6 kbit/s (4 full rate traffic channels 13.4 kbit/s), up to 107.2 kbit/s with 8 channels

GPRS usually operates asynchronous with more bandwidth for downstream than for upstream

GPRS bases on an additional infrastructure: GSN GPRS Support


Nodes as an extension to GSM

SGSN (Serving GSN), GGSN (Gateway GSN)

Mobile Communication System

From GSM to 3G mobile networks


The short comings of GSM led to the development of a next
generation mobile network The new network
Should use the scarce resources of the shared medium air more efficiently Should be really international (GSM had a primarily scope on Europe first)

Much higher data rates should be offered with reduced delays Provide Internet oriented services
Preferring the packet orientated approach over the circuit switched one data services play an increasing role in mobility and voice could be just seen as data too.

IMT2000 and UMTS


International Telecommunication Union (ITU) defined demands for
third generation mobile networks with the IMT-2000 standard 3GPP (3G Partnership Project) continued that work by defining a mobile system that fulfills the IMT-2000 standard Resulting system is called Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Release '99 defined the bearer services with 64 kbit/s circuit switched and up to 384 kbit/s packet switched data rates Location services and call services were defined: GSMcompatibility should be offered, the authentication and security will be upgraded to USIM.

Mobile Communication System

Evolutions of UMTS
Several different paths from 2G to 3G defined
In Europe the main path starts from GSM when GPRS was added to the system
In North America the system evolution will start from TDMA going to EDGE and from there to UMTS

In Japan two different 3G standards used


W-CDMA by NTT DoCoMo, Vodafone KK, and by new entrants cdma2000 (not compatible to European standards) which is very successfully used by KDDI Transition to 3G was largely completed in Japan during 2005/2006

Mobile Communication System

Features of UMTS
UMTS system bases on layered services, like IP
Top is the services layer, which will give advantages like fast deployment of services and centralized location
In the middle layer is control layer, which will help upgrading procedures and allow the capacity of the network to be dynamically allocated Bottom layer is handled by the connectivity layer where any transmission technology can be used and the voice traffic will transfer over ATM/AAL2 or IP/RTP

UTMS will converge the mobile phone networks towards the IP


world Using IP in UMTS might push the IP world toward IPv6, because there will be a huge number of mobile phone subscribers

UTRAN (UTRA network) is the UMTS transceiver radio interface
network part Manages mobility on cell level handoff decision

Composed of several Radio Network Subsystems (RNS) connected to the Core Network through the Iu interface

Every Radio Network Subsystem is managed by Radio Network


Controller (RNC) RNC also handles radio resource management (RRM) operations

RNC is responsible for the local handoff process and the


combining/multicasting functions related to macro diversity between different Node-Bs

UMTS Network - Handoff


UMTS provides several handoff procedures
Intra Node-B handoff (softer handoff) Inter Node-B handoff, inter-frequency, intra-frequency (hard and soft) Inter RNC Inter MSC Inter SGSN Inter System (UMTS - GSM)

Hard Handoff
Connection to a Node-B is destroyed before a new one (to an other Node-B is started)

UMTS Network - Handoff


Soft Handoff
A MS is in the overlapping coverage of 2 different base stations (Node-B) Concurrent communication via 2 air interface channels Softer Handoff A MS is in the overlapping coverage of 2 sectors of a base station

31

2013/1/30

Mobile Communication System

UTRAN Base Stations (Node-B)


Base Station Node-B
Mainly handles physical layer tasks Main task of node B is to establish the physical implementation of the Uu interface (communication with the UE) and the implementation of Iub interface (Communication with the RNC) Providing the Uu interface means that the Base Station implements WCDMA radio access Physical Channels and transfer information from Transport Channels to the Physical Channels based on arrangements determined by the RNC The term Physical Channels means different kinds of bandwidth allocated for different purposes over Uu interface

Mobile Communication System

UMTS - Air Interface


UTMS uses Wideband CDMA on two different duplex mechanisms CDMA allows frequency reuse factor of 1 (GSM 4, 7,.., 18)
5MHz Bandwidth allows multipath diversity using Rake Receiver Variable Spreading Factor (VSF) to offer Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) up to 2MHz Fast (1.5kHz) Power Control for Optimal Interference Reduction

33

2013/1/30

Mobile Communication System

UMTS Rake Receiver


Radio receiver designed to counter the effects of multipath fading
Multipath fading is a common problem in wireless networks especially in urban areas

Rake receiver commonly used in a wide variety of CDMA and WCDMA radio devices
Uses several "sub-receivers" each delayed slightly in order to tune in to the individual multipath components Each component decoded independently, but at a later stage combined in order to make the most use of the different transmission characteristics of each path Results in higher Signal-to-noise in a multipath environment than in a "clean" environment

34

2013/1/30

Mobile Communication System

UMTS Macro Diversity


Another way to increase connection
quality and reliability is macro diversity
Same data stream is sent over different physical channels Uplink UE sends its data to different Node-B Data stream is reassembled, reconstructed in Node-B, SRNC or NC Downlink receiving same data from different cells on different spread codes

UMTS Cell Breathing


Advantages of UMTS W-CDMA
Power Control - solves the near-far problem

Soft capacity, dynamic cell sizes


Different to GSM, where fixed cell size Number of logged in users has no influence on cell size

In UMTS cell size is tightly interrelated with its capacity


Size depends on signal/noise ratio because of both maximum TX power and number of active users (interference in the same cell through other users and with other cells) which results in cell breathing

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)


IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is an architectural
framework for delivering Internet Protocol(IP) multimedia services.

It was originally designed by the wireless standards body


3GPP, as a part of the vision for evolving mobile networks beyond GSM. Its original formulation (3GPP R5)

This vision was later updated by 3GPP, 3GPP2 and TISPAN


by requiring support of networks other than GPRS, such as UMTS, WLAN, and fixed line.
