The “UTRAN Protocols and Procedures” which cover the WCDMA radio access interfaces, such as Uu, Iub, Iur and Iu. It also includes a comprehensive survey of the protocols used over these interfaces: RRC, RLC, MAC, NBAP, RNSAP and RANAP. The presentation comprises:

• Protocol stacks for Uu, Iub, Iur, Iu interfaces
• QoS architecture
• RRC – Radio Resource Control
• RLC – Radio Link Control
• MAC – Medium Access Control
• NBAP – Node B Application Part
• RNSAP – Radio Network Subsystem Application Part
• RANAP – Radio Access Network Application Part
• FP – Frame Protocols
• Signalling procedures on UTRAN interfaces for layer 3 signalling protocols

Target audience
The course has been developed for telecoms professionals working with system engineering, hardware and software development, testing and verification.

Prerequisites
The course will be more beneficial for people with an understanding of UMTS’s WCDMA radio interface principles. Pervious participation on the “UMTS – 3rd Generation Networks Solution” (EPOL-09:005) course is therefore recommended.

Learning method
The course is delivered in the form of presentations, lectures, reviews and time for questions, thereby helping participants to better assimilate the newly acquired information.
