New E-Learning Course Explains the Principles of UMTS Radio Systems and Describes In Detail the Features, Structure and Operation Of 3G Mobile Networks.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c39039) has announced the addition of E-Learning Course: UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. (3G) Mobile Systems to their offering. "UMTS (3G) Mobile Radio Networks" is designed for study by those working in, or intending to work in, the mobile radio sector with a technical role. The course covers the technologies employed in Third Generation (3G) mobile networks. Pre-requisite: A good knowledge of GSM radio systems (it is recommended that course B of the Mobile suite of courses is studied before attempting course C). Course Aim: After completing this course a trainee will be able to explain the principles of UMTS radio systems and describe in detail the features, structure and operation of 3G mobile networks. "UMTS (3G) Mobile Radio Networks" forms part of the Mobile suite of courses. Mobile --is a suite of interactive, multimedia courses designed to run under Windows(TM) 98, 2000 or XP. --provides training in the technical aspects of modern mobile radio systems. --consists of three separate but integrated courses: A Principles of mobile telecommunications B GSM mobile radio networks C UMTS (3G) mobile radio networks Each Mobile course: --provides in-depth, authoritative technical training. --employs interactive simulations, hypertext links and question sessions to fully involve the trainee in the learning experience. --provides personalised training with each trainee able to make his/her on notes and place bookmarks. A record of progress and level of achievement is recorded for each trainee. --provides a structured assessed course and can also be used to browse for revision or reference. --can be studied in isolation or as an integrated suite; each chapter of a course includes revision links to relevant subjects covered in the other Mobile courses. Target audience: --Those studying for a career in telecommunications and who require a detailed knowledge of modern mobile radio networks. --technical staff involved in the operation, installation or maintenance of mobile radio networks. The topics covered by this course are: 1. UMTS Concepts: similarities to and differences from GSM UMTS radio path aspects including frequency bands and introduction to WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) A 3G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that use the TDMA or GSM technology worldwide, including AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile in the U.S. . 2. WCDMA - coding aspects: channel processing spreading, channelisation and scrambling spreading factor and its significance recovering the baseband, channel separation. 3. WCDMA - radio aspects: modulation RAKE receiver open-loop and closed-loop power control UMTS cell capacity description and functions of control and data channels. 4. UMTS Network Architecture: protocol model: access stratum, non-access stratum user and control plane protocols including GTP GTP (guanosine triphosphate): see guanine. , MAC and RLC RLC Residual lung capacity radio access networks: the UTRAN UTRAN UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network PS and CS domains of the core network evolution of network architecture from Release 99 through R4 and R5 to R6 network provisioning, shared networks, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). 5. Mobility Management: principles of mobility management in UMTS networks CS and PS mobility states relationship between location areas and routing areas soft handover, hard handover, inter-system handover location and position, including integration with GPS special positioning. 6. User Equipment: mandatory and optional elements classes of terminals UE architecture: including Universal Subscriber Identity Module A Universal Subscriber Identity Module is an application for UMTS mobile telephony running on a UICC smart card which is inserted in a 3G mobile phone. There is a common misconception to call the UICC card itself a USIM, but the USIM is merely a logical entity on the physical card. (USIM usim - A Motorola 6809 simulator. Version 0.11 by Ray P. Bellis <rpb@psy.ox.ac.uk>. ftp://ftp.cns.ox.ac.uk/pub/mc6809/. ) and Mobile Termination (MT) types of data held by USIM user profiles. 7. Security in UMTS: enhanced features of UMTS security compared with GSM security access security including user and Network Element (NE) authentication classes of attack including spoofing and Denial of Service A condition in which a system can no longer respond to normal requests. See denial of service attack. protection of commercial data lawful interception. 8. Services evolution 1: Uplink Synchronous Transmission Scheme (USTS USTS Uplink Synchronous Transmission Scheme USTS United States Training Ship USTS UHF Satellite Terminal System USTS United States Technical Services ) integration of wireless services and technologies including Wireless Local Loop (WLL) and Wireless LAN (WLAN) the Virtual Home Environment (VHE) concept integrated information services (CAMEL) digital broadcasting return channel entertainment services and simulation of a streaming service. 9. Services evolution 2: enhanced technologies leading to enhanced service offerings: SMS evolution to EMS/MMS/XMS High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSPDA See HSPA. ) High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) See HSPA. ) Time Division Synchronous CDMA (TDSCDMA TDSCDMA Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access TDSCDMA Time Division Synchronous Cdma ) "Push to Talk" (PTT (1) (Postal, Telegraph & Telephone) The governmental agency responsible for combined postal, telegraph and telephone services in many European countries. (2) See push-to-talk. PTT - Post, Telephone and Telegraph administration , P2T or PoC) and "Presence" services CDMA2000(R) and 1xEV-DO CDMA450. Testimony: Real world training for eircom "Three factors led us to select e-learning: the courses use European jargon and bit rates, they are obviously written by telecoms professionals with real world insight and the interactions are well thought out" - Richard Downey, e-learning manager, eircom plc For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c39039 |
