Evolved Packet System (EPS) (PDF)

2G/GSM and 3G/UMTS are key mobile communication technologies,
chosen by more than 2 billion people around the world. In order to
adapt to new services, increasing demand for user bandwidth,
quality of service and requirements for network convergence, major
evolutions are introduced in 3G network standard.

Evolved Packet System (EPS) presents the EPS evolution of
the 3G/UMTS standard introduced by the 3rd Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) standard committee. This new topic is looked at from
a system perspective, from the radio interface to network and
service architecture. Hundreds of documents being issued by
Standard organisations are summarised in one book to allow the
reader to get an accessible comprehensive view of EPS
evolution.

* Proposes a system view of Evolved UMTS, from the radio to Core
and service architecture

* Gives a comprehensive and global view of the system that
technical specifications do not provide

* Describes the new system as well as the inheritance and
migration from 2G/GSM and 3G/UMTS

* Written by experts in the field who specialise in two
complementary but very different technical domains (i.e. "radio
interface" and "network architecture")

* Contains many figures and examples for better
understanding.

This book is essential for industry professionals in the
telecommunication business, telecommunication system architects and
designers, product manufacturers and operators and postgraduate
students.
