Challenges in Developing and Deploying 3G Systems
Overview Development of 3rd Generation Cellular Wireless (3G) Technologies is well underway within Network Equipment Manufacturers. Most major wireless Service Providers are beginning technology trials, but production networks will not be rolled out until 2001 at the earliest. This paper introduces 3G Wireless technology, standards and protocols. The main components of a UMTS W-CDMA System are explained and a five stage testing strategy is defined. This testing strategy is specifically designed to help accelerate the development and deployment of 3G Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment. 3G cellular wireless technology provides much greater levels of functionality and flexibility than previous generations. 3G offers improved RF spectral efficiency and higher bit rates. While the focus for the first 3G systems appears to be voice and limited data services, 3G is also expected to become a significant Internet access technology.
