This thick book provides an overview of the third generation partnership program (3GPP), the WCDMA principles, the UMTS network architecture, and the accompanying protocols. It then explains procedures for the access network and core network, such as RRC procedures, call handling, session management, and value-added services. The final section examines the internet protocol as a carrier of signaling data, and the introduction of an overlay IP multimedia subsystem over the packet-switched domain. The authors are engineers with Hughes Software Systems in India.
