Testing UMTS

Beschreibung

A modern mobile phone is a highly complex electronic system made upfrom a variety of diverse sub-systems, all of which must workseamlessly together. Today's users have very high expectationswhich set tough demands on manufacturers as they introduce thirdgeneration technology. While quality, in terms of the phone'sstability, performance and behaviour on the network, originate fromgood design, the only way to be sure of quality is by testing it.This makes testing a very important part of any mobile phone's lifecycle, from development through to manufacture and beyond, touchinga number of different disciplines and departments. Testing UMTS is divided in three sections. Section Oneprovides an overview of major types of testing and theorganisations and tasks involved. In particular it looks at what isinvolved in conformance testing and device certification. SectionTwo is more technical and looks at the UMTS standard itself,working through the protocol layers. Future trends and their impacton testing mobile devices are examined in Section Three, includingthe emergence of new technologies both in the access network andthe core network and the evolution of new testingmethodologies. * Examines UMTS and the testing of UMTS devices which are hugeareas in the testing process * Provides essential information on processes and techniques formobile phone testing * Operation of the UMTS standard is described from a test pointof view * Focuses on most important areas of the 3rd-GenerationPartnership Project (3GPP) standard from a test perspective * Offers advice on products, services and resources that aid thetesting process. This book is an ideal text for engineers and managers who areeither directly involved in the process of testing UMTS mobiles, orwho are looking for an understanding of what is involved intesting. Professionals involved in the development of UMTS mobiles,integration and verification, conformance testing, operatoracceptance testing, manufacturing and servicing will find this bookindispensable.
