2G/GSM and 3G/UMTS are key mobile communication technologies,chosen by more than 2 billion people around the world. In order toadapt to new services, increasing demand for user bandwidth,quality of service and requirements for network convergence, majorevolutions are introduced in 3G network standard.
Evolved Packet System (EPS) presents the EPS evolution ofthe 3G/UMTS standard introduced by the 3rd Generation PartnershipProject (3GPP) standard committee. This new topic is looked at froma system perspective, from the radio interface to network andservice architecture. Hundreds of documents being issued byStandard organisations are summarised in one book to allow thereader to get an accessible comprehensive view of EPSevolution.
* Proposes a system view of Evolved UMTS, from the radio to Coreand service architecture
* Gives a comprehensive and global view of the system thattechnical specifications do not provide
* Describes the new system as well as the inheritance andmigration from 2G/GSM and 3G/UMTS
* Written by experts in the field who specialise in twocomplementary but very different technical domains (i.e. "radiointerface" and "network architecture")
* Contains many figures and examples for betterunderstanding.
This book is essential for industry professionals in thetelecommunication business, telecommunication system architects anddesigners, product manufacturers and operators and postgraduatestudents.
