Description
Book SynopsisProvides a detailed description of the Radio Access Network for UMTS (3G). Focuses on the subjects most relevant to today's network deployments, including HSDPA, HSUPA and the Iub transport network. Combines the protocol stack with signalling flows and network planning guidelines to provide a comprehensive treatment of the RAN for UMTS.
