WCDMA Network Planning Training:

WCDMA Network Planning Training Course (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live!)

This WCDMA Network Planning Training course provides an overview of the WCDMA system, as defined in the 3GPP Release 99 specifications for the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS).

The WCDMA Network Planning course begins with an overview of WCDMA and UMTS concepts, including spectrum allocations, network topology, protocol stack, and channel mappings. It then describes the procedures of the Access Stratum protocol layers, covering the Radio Resource Control, Radio Link Control, and Medium Access Control layers.

Next, physical layer transmit procedures are covered, as well as procedures for acquisition, random access, paging, measurements, power control, and transmit diversity. The WCDMA Network Planning course concludes with a discussion of handover and cell reselection procedures, security features, and call setup procedures for packet-switched and circuit-switched calls.

WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) is the radio access scheme used for third-generation cellular systems that are being rolled out in various parts of the globe. The 3G systems support wideband services like high-speed Internet access, video, and high-quality image transmission with the same quality as the fixed networks. In WCDMA systems the CDMA air interface is combined with GSM-based networks. The WCDMA standard was evolved through the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) which aims to ensure interoperability between different 3G networks.
