Core Network for UMTS
• MSC:Mobile switching center, switch the CS transactions
• GMSC: Gateway MSC: a switch that connects the UMTS PLMN to the externalCS networks.
• SGSN: Serving GPRS Support Node, similar to MSC/VLR but this is for PStraffic.
• GGSN: Gateway GPRS Support Node, similar to GMSC but it serves for the PStraffic.

3GPP Network Architecture Radio Access Technologies Discussion
LTE’s objectives 5
1. higher data rates in both downlink and uplink transmission
2. reduce packet latency, more responsive user experience
3. flat architecture: IP-based, open interfaces, simplified network
4. flexible radio planning and high spectral efficiency
5. reduce delivery costs for rich communications
6. long-term revenue stability and growth
7. coexistence alongside circuit switched networks

LTE’s interfaces: S1 and X2 8
• S1: self-optimizing network
• X2: connects eNodeB
• MME (MobilityManagement Entity):distribution of pagingmessage to eNodeB
• UPE (User Plan Entity): IPheader compression,encryption of user datastream, termimating andswitching of U-plane

3GPP Network Architecture Radio Access Technologies Discussion
CDMA: Principles
• each user is assigned a spreading code for encoding it’s data
• Receiver knows the code of user, it can decode the receivedsignal, recover the original data
• Bandwidth of coded data signal much larger than originaldata signal due to the encoding process spreads the spectrumof the origianl signal, based on spread-spectrum modulation
![Page 16: UMTS vs. LTE: a comparison overview - Unik4230: Mobile Communications](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/613d1c09736caf36b7596c54/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
3GPP Network Architecture Radio Access Technologies Discussion
WCDMA in UMTS [4]
• Direct Sequence CDMA system, with chip-rate 3.84 Mc/s
• Combined with FDMA: every carrier is allocated 5 MHzfrequency band so that many operators can provide serviceswithout interference each other.
• Codes: scrambling and channelization
Channelization: seperatestraffic to and from differentusers, called Orthogonal
Variable Spreading Factor
(OVSF) which varies from 1to 128
Scrambling codes: notincrease bandwidth, but isused for distinguishingterminals in uplink andsectors (cells) in downlink

3GPP Network Architecture Radio Access Technologies Discussion
LTE’s downlink: OFDMA
OFDM: Multiple access scheme,allows simultaneous connectionsto/from multiple mobileterminalsUsers share different subcarriers,either consecutive or distributedmanner.
![Page 18: UMTS vs. LTE: a comparison overview - Unik4230: Mobile Communications](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/613d1c09736caf36b7596c54/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3GPP Network Architecture Radio Access Technologies Discussion
LTE’s uplink: Single Carrier-FDMA
• SC-FDMA: hybrid modulationscheme that combines the lowPAPR techniques of single-carriertransmission systems, such as GSMand CDMA, with the multi-pathresistance and flexible frequencyallocation of OFDMA
• Data symbols in the time domainare converted to the frequencydomain using a discrete Fouriertransform (DFT)
• Cyclic Prefix (CP) is added, a serialsequence of symbols is modulatedand transmitted instead of parallelOFDM-scheme
• On receiver’s side, an extra N-pointIDFT is applied to reconstruct theoriginal symbols.
Figure: Structure for UL and DL inLTE [5]
An advantage of SC-FDMA compares toOFDMA is low Peak to Power Average
Ratio (PAPR), that helps increasingbattery life.
