UMTS - Design Details & System Engineering

• This training course addresses the needs of engineers and technicians who have already a general understanding of UMTS.
• This training course continues our first UMTS training course “Inside UMTS – Technology & System Operation” and it provides a thorough understanding of the UMTS Radio Access Network (RAN), of its system functions and its technical operation on a high detail level.

As in all INACON training courses we integrated several interactive exercises for a perfect learning experience.

• How are the initial parameters (e.g. access slot number) for network access be selected by the UE?
• In which way is blind transport format detection performed?
• What are the functions of the SSCOP protocol in the transport network protocol?
• What is the meaning of the N_Max_frames parameter?
• How are the dedicated and the common channels handled in the user plane on the Iub interface?
• What parameters are added to the Authentication quintet, how is integrity protection performed?
• What kind of different identifiers are used in CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH and URA_PCH for adressing?
• How is an AMR speech connection established and reconfigured, how is the codec mode change controlled?

• Everybody who needs to understand UMTS system details and operation procedures.
• System designers and development engineers of UMTS network equipment and UMTS mobile stations.
• Network Planners who need to establish UMTS and/or joined GSM / UMTS networks.
• UMTS network operators for network design and planning, system installation, and/or system operation.
• Software engineers engaged in signal processing flow and/or protocol stack software development.

• Good understanding of prerunning mobile communication systems GSM and GPRS and the generic GSM to UMTS environment. If required, we advise our training course “Inside UMTS – Technology & System Operation” to be taken upfront.
• Previous knowledge of SS 7 protocol know how is favourable. If required, we advise our training course
  “Signaling & Protocol Analysis in GSM” to be taken upfront.

• The student will be enabled to understand all relevant details of UMTS-procedures within the RAN and the mobile station.
• The student will achieve a thorough understanding of the UMTS Radio Access System and will be enabled to immediately contribute to system development in a strong manner.
