 Part 1 GERAN EvolutionThe first part of this book focuses on the standardised technical evolution of GERAN providing GSM networks with a smooth, competitive and cost-efficient evolution path towards UMTS. Part 2 GSM, GPRS and EDGE Performance The second part of the book focuses on performance delivered by global system for mobile communications (GSM)/enhanced data rates for global evolution (EDGE) networks. The performance is measured in two different and complementary ways. First, field trial results help to get a realistic understanding of basic GSM performance capabilities. Second, simulation results envisage performance of features not yet available in real networks. In any case, the methodology used in the performance analysis is consistent throughout the book. Part 3 3G Evolution Paths The third and last part of this book will introduce the main aspects related to different 3G radio access technologies and evolution paths. Chapter 14 introduces the main code division multiple access (CDMA)-based 3G technologies, analysing their associated performance, both in terms of coverage and capacity. It presents as well a technical comparison between different 3G radio technologies (global system for mobile communications (GSM)/enhanced data rates for global evolution (EDGE), wideband CDMA (WCDMA) and cdma2000). Finally, it introduces the UMTS 3G multi-radio integration concept with its possibilities and performance benefits analysed. Finally, Chapter 15 presents a global market analysis to assist defining the technology evolution strategy within the existing 3G evolution paths in the global frame that characterises the cellular business.
