specifications for a third generation mobile
system based on evolved GSM core networks,
GPRS and EDGE and the radio access technologies
that they support. |

speed, broadband, and Internet Protocol
(IP)-based mobile systems featuring network-to-network
interconnection, feature/service transparency,
global roaming and seamless services independent
of location. This project aims to develop
