Abstract

Chapter 9 covers the application packet scheduling using UMTS as an example. This chapter reviews a general architecture of UMTS. A UMTS network can be partitioned into a UTRAN and a CN. The UTRAN is handling radio dependent functions (such as radio resource control) whereas the CN is handling radio independent functions (such as switching of connections and packets, mobility management and session management). Inside the UTRAN, we have the RNC acting as a base station controller controlling a number of Node Bs (base stations). Chapter 9 also describes in detail the scheduling mechanism used in Rel 99 UTMS and the HSPDA algorithm in Rel 5 UMTS. Some advanced developments (such as HSUPA) are also covered.
