UMTS Security

UMTS Security
Valtteri Niemi, Kaisa Nyberg
ISBN: 0470847948
December 2003

The Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) offers a consistent set of services to mobile computer and phone users and numerous different radio access technologies will co-exist within the UMTS system’s core network – security is, therefore, of the utmost importance.

The book focuses on the standardized security features of UMTS and brings together material previously only available in specifications, design documents and presentations in one concise form. In addition, this unique volume also covers non-standard implementation specific features that allow differentiation between operators and manufacturers.

  • Describes the security solutions specified for UMTS
  • Provides a comprehensive presentation of the UMTS security specifications and explains the role of the security functionality in the UMTS system
  • Presents the UMTS security system in its totality from the theoretical background through to the design process
  • Discusses the new security features included in Release 4 and 5

By providing a unified treatment of the security services provided by the UMTS system, this volume will provide invaluable information and have instant appeal to planners, constructers and implementers of UMTS networks, and developers and analysts of application oriented security services that make use of UMTS communication networks. It will also be of considerable interest to postgraduates and researchers of modern communication security technology.

Advances in Mobile Radio Access Networks

Advances in Mobile Radio Access Networks
Y. Jay Guo
ISBN: 1580537278
December 2004

As the demand for and the variety of 3G services increase, more advanced hardware and software technologies will be needed to enhance the mobile radio communications infrastructure. This forward-looking book delivers a comprehensive overview of the advanced technologies driving the evolution of mobile radio access networks, focusing on high-level architectural issues and system engineering. The book highlights the advantages and drawbacks of these advanced technologies and helps you make strategic decisions on R&D planning and system deployment.

By striking a balance between theory and practice, and between technology and economics, it addresses the concerns of system engineering, research and development, and telecom management and analysis. The book covers the critical topics you need to understand for your work in the field, from linear transmitters and radio-over-fiber, to software radio base station and mobile terminal positioning. This unique resource examines such cutting-edge technologies as HSDPA, MIMO, OFDM, and IP based RAN, and presents new concepts in both autonomic and ubiquitous networks.

Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks

Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks
Daniel Ralph, Paul Graham
ISBN: 047086091X
January 2003

“…this is an excellent volume, a must-have for systems architects…also to be commended for its cohesive and comprehensive assembly of many complex standards.” (Computing Reviews.com, October 4, 2005)

“This both is very detailed, yet readable. It would be an excellent read for both students and telecommunications professionals…” (Computing Reviews.com, June 8, 2005)

“…well-structured…it provides detailed, and carefully selected and prepared, material.” (Computing Reviews.com, October 21, 2004)

“…very detailed yet readable…an excellent read for both students and professionals…” (The IEE Communications Engineer, June/July 2004)

The merging of voice and data on a single network opens powerful new possibilities in communications. Only a fundamental understanding of both technologies will ensure you are equipped to maximise their full potential. 

Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks describes the evolution from cellular to a converged network that integrates traditional telecommunications and the technology of the Internet. In particular, the authors address the application of both IP and ATM technologies to a cellular environment, including IP telephony protocols, the use of ATM/AAL2 and the new AAL2 signalling protocol for voice/multimedia and data transport as well as the future of the UMTS network in UMTS Release 5/6 All-IP architecture.

Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks:

  • Explains the operation and integration of GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, CDMA2000, IP, and ATM.
  • Provides practical examples of 3G connection scenarios.
  • Describes signalling flows and protocol stacks.
  • Covers IP and ATM as used in a 3G context.
  • Addresses issues of QoS and real-time application support.
  • Includes IP/SS7 internetworking and IP softswitching.
  • Outlines the architecture of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for UMTS.

Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks is suited for professionals from the telecommunications, data communications and computer networking industries

GSM, GPRS and EDGE Performance: Evolution Towards 3G/UMTS

Optical Communication Theory and Techniques
Timo Halonen (Editor), Javier Romero (Editor), Juan Melero (Editor)
ISBN: 0470866942
March 2006

GSM, GPRS and EDGE Performance – Second Edition provides a complete overview of the entire GSM system. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is the digital transmission technique widely adopted in Europe and supported in North America. It features comprehensive descriptions of GSM’s main evolutionary milestones – GPRS, (General Packet Radio Services) is a packet-based wireless communication service that promises data rates from 56 up to 114 Kbps and continuous connection to the Internet for mobile phone and computer users. AMR and EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment), and such developments have now positioned GERAN (GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network) as a full 3G radio standard. The radio network performance and capabilities of GSM, GPRS, AMR and EDGE solutions are studied in-depth by using revealing simulations and field trials.

Cellular operators must now roll out new 3G technologies capable of delivering wireless Internet based multimedia services in a competitive and cost-effective way and this volume, divided into three parts, helps to explain how:

1. Provides an introduction to the complete evolution of GSM towards a radio access network that efficiently supports UMTS services (GERAN).

2. Features a comprehensive study of system performance with simulations and field trials. Covers all the major features such as basic GSM, GPRS, EDGE and AMR and the full capability of the GERAN radio interface for 3G service support is envisaged.

3. Discusses different 3G radio technologies and the position of GERAN within such technologies. 

Featuring fully revised and updated chapters throughout, the second edition contains 90 pages of new material and features the following new sections, enabling this reference to remain as a leading text in the area:

  • Expanded material on GPRS
  • Includes IMS architecture (Rel’5) and GERAN (Rel’6) features
  • Presents field trial results for AMR and narrowband 
  • Provides EGPRS deployment guidelines
  • Features a new chapter on Service Performance

An invaluable reference for Engineering Professionals, Research and Development Engineers, Business Development Managers, Technical Managers and Technical Specialists working for cellular operators.

The book brings profound changes to our everyday lives. The launch of 3rd generation mobile systems in 2001 in Japan, and from 2002, throughout the rest of the world, will enable us to communicate at anytime and anywhere, by using a variety of services which have until now, only been available to fixed network users. By the end of 2003, there are expected to be over one billion mobile telephones in use around the world, which surpasses the number of fixed telephone lines projected for that date. Written in an easily accessible style, UMTS: Mobile Communications for the Future will prove indispensable reading for all those working in the area of mobile communications.

  • llustrates the current situation and forthcoming developments of UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System)
  • Outlines the rationale and motives behind the evolution of this new mobile telephony system
  • Analyses the requirements of the UMTS system and describes the radio UTRA (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access) and the UTRAN (UTRA Network) together with Core Network Issues
  • Provides an overview of the new voice, data and multimedia services that will be available to users
  • Reviews the current trends that will affect future research and discusses key topics, including SDMA (Space Division Multiple Access), smart antennas and software radio
