Public Land Mobile
Networks (PLMN)
nMobility is required practically for all services in the very near
future!
nIn this course we will discuss especially the GSM (Global System
for Mobile communications) (9.6 kbit/s) and WCDMA
(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) networks
nAfter 2002 WCDMA will be launched that will yield mobile data
rates up to 3Mb/s. However, also the GSM network will
be upgraded for higher rates thanks to
nGPRS (General Packet Switched Data),
nHSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data) and
nEDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution)
