The third generation 3G cellular system UMTS is advanced,
optimised and complex. The many existing books on UMTS attempt to
explain all the intricacies of the system and as a result are large
and equally complex. This book takes a different approach and
explains UMTS in a concise, clear and readily understandable style.
Written by a professional technical trainer, and based on training
courses delivered on UMTS to telecommunication companies worldwide,
Essentials of UMTS will enable you to grasp the key concepts
quickly. It assumes no previous knowledge of mobile
telecommunication theory, and is structured around the operation of
the system, clearly setting out how the different components
interact with each other, and how the system as a whole behaves.
Engineers, project managers and marketing executives working for
equipment manufacturers and network operators will find this
concise guide to UMTS invaluable.
