Prepared By: A.K.M.Asaduzzaman RF Optimization Engineer(RNO) Radio Network Planning & Optimization Department STAR LINK.

UMTS EVOLUTION UMTS First Evolved in 1999.Its released called as R99. Voice 12.2 Kbps Data: 384Kbps for Both dl/Ul Next Release is R4(Due to increasing demand of data & fast Evolution of 3g It is is not possible to Give released name as per Year name.) R4 : No change in data rate, Just some other change involved. R5 : In Release 5,The major change is high speed data. This 384 Kbps changed to 14.4 Mbps only for Dl, Ul will remain the same. R99 --- 384 Kbps R5 --- 14.4 Mbps HSDPA High speed Downlink Packet Access. R99 :

Yes

 R6 : Release6 is basically EUL enhanced Uplink, Just like dl here ul is also reduced to 2ms from 10ms. This Technology is basically HSUPA. HSUPA is having 5.76 Mbps Uplink However most of the implementation is 2Mbps. R7 : Release7 is HSPA+. IT is for both Ul & DL.HSPA+ is firstly launched in Austeria. Coding used here is 64 QAM for Dl 1.DL 2.Ul 64 QAM 21 Mbps with MIMO we can Get up to 28 Mbps. 16 QAM 11 Mbps

R8 : Increased Band from 5Mhz to 10 Mhz .This whole band is combined & used combined & as a output we able to Get 54 Mbps. Ist Phase of LTE is Rel 8. R9 : Is Advance LTE.

LTE Vs WCDMA
1. Freq BAND: UMTS : 5Mhz LTE : Scalable 4MHZ to 20MHZ .20MHZ is Best Sited 2. MOD & CODING SCHEME: UMTS :WCDMA QPSK,16QAM LTE: OFDMA 64QAM 3. DATA SPEED: R99 : 2Mbps , HSDPA :14.4 MbPS HSPA+: 28Mbps LTE: Up to 300Mbps 4. ARCHITECTURE: LTE: No presence of RNC,Core system differ from Conventional GSM

CORE SYSTEM CHANGES IN DIFF REL:

R99:
WCDMA R99 System Structure

The CN is divided into CS and PS. The CS network units include MSC, VLR, and GMSC. The PS network units include SGSN and GGSN. The HLR, AUC, and EIR are common to the CS and PS. The RAN includes radio network controller (RNC) and WCDMA BTS (Node B). Besides, the CN PS connects with other PLMNs or PDNs through Gi and Gp interfaces, and the CS connects with fixed networks and other PLMNs through the PSTN.

 to protect the investment of the operators, the network structure design of R99 fully considers the compatibility of 3G with 2G. The CN inherits the NE entities defined in GSM/GPRS, enabling the current network to smoothly evolve to the 3G. Therefore, the CN almost remains unchanged. Corresponding interface protocols are added to some NEs to support 3G service, and the original interface protocols are also improved. However, the UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN, including RNC and Node B) is based on the WCDMA technology defined in R99), and its change is revolutionary.

R4:
WCDMA R4 System Structure

As with the R99 network, the R4 network also consists of CN (including CS and PS) and RAN,. Compared with the R99 network, the CS of the R44 changes, while the PS almost remains unchanged.

The CAMEL entities and related interfaces of the R4 network almost remain unchanged. The CAMEL function is enhanced based on R99; the definitions of the interfaces and entities in the LCS architecture almost remain unchanged; the basic functions of the network entities that have the same definitions as those in the R99 network almost remain unchanged, so do the related protocols. In R4, the CN consists of the following NE entities: (G)MSC Server, CSMGW, TSGW, RSGW, SGSN, GGSN, HLR/AuC, EIR, and so on. MAJOR CHANGE IN R4 is : The separation of control and Bearer: MSC to MGW&MSC Server.

R5:
WCDMA R5 System Structure

 R5 inherits the definitions of the NE entities from R4, but their functions are enhanced. The IMS is added to R5. Therefore, the corresponding interfaces between the basic network and the IMS are added. As shown in Fig in R5, the BSC is required to provide IuCS and Iu-PS interfaces, which is the major difference between the R5 network and the R4 and R99 networks. Besides, in R5, the HSS entity is added to replace HLR. Compared with the HLR, the HSS provides more powerful functions and supports the IMS. in addition to the change to the basic structure, the IMS entity is also added, namely, an IMS taking CSCF as the core is formed. The purpose of the IMS is to transfer various media streams (voice, data, image, and so on) over the IP network.

The IMS contains all the related entities necessary to the provision of the IP multimedia service
