UMTS Networks and Beyond

An all-encompassing coverage on UMTS Networks including an in-depth discussion of current work on UMTS evolution and 4G. UMTS Networks and Beyond offers a comprehensive introduction to the networking aspects of UMTS and the networks coming after UMTS. The book is unique in that it systematically compares how a particular problem, e.g. obtaining connectivity, is solved in UMTS and how the same problem is solved in a Computer Network such as the Internet. It also highlights why the respective solutions are so different.
