Features: This book is a technical monograph on the third-generation mobile communication air interface and wireless engineering. The entire book consists of 17 chapters. Chapters 1 to 3 briefly introduce the technical specifications, systems, and basic principles of the UMTS system. Chapters 4 to 7 elaborate on the UMTS/WCDMA wireless network air interface technology, including wireless resource management, radio link control, media access control, and the physical layer. Chapters 8 to 11 discuss some key technologies of the wireless network, including cell selection, handover, power control, and high-speed downlink packet access technology. Chapters 12 to 15 provide a detailed introduction to the key points of WCDMA wireless engineering, including methods and principles of wireless network design and optimization, the application of repeaters and rooftop amplifiers in WCDMA systems, and the analysis of inter-system interference when UMTS, CDMA2000, PHS, and GSM coexist. Chapter 16 summarizes the similarities and differences between the two mainstream third-generation mobile communication technologies, WCDMA and CDMA2000. Chapter 17 proposes the evolution direction of UMTS network towards full IP and flattening.
