A cost-effective alternative to classroom instruction, this unique UMTS system design course helps you quickly master the skills you need for your work in the field. Available as CD-ROM series, the course is divided in to three convenient three-hour segments (one CD per segment): Part 2: The Protocol Stack and Lower Layer Processing Details covers critical physical-layer procedures, such as power control operation and the cell search procedure. It includes an in-depth presentation of the various layers of the UMTS protocol stack with a clear focus on the UTRAN, and detailed descriptions of important procedures such as soft and softer handover.
