Working of UMTS
The working of UMTS is divided into three major components
- User Equipment: The User Equipment components is related to the devices and components which are used by the end user. This component of UMTS consists of mobile stations and subscriber identity module. This components contains information about subscriber identity. It also performs authentication works and holds the encryption keys. This component contain many essential information like information of subscriber, details of encryption keys, etc. This components act as an interface between the end user and the UMTS network.
- Access Network: The Access Network component is an important component which is used for establishing the connection with the User Equipment. This component of UMTS consists of towers, radio network controller and technologies like WCDMA. The towers help the mobile station connect to the network. The Radio Network Controller is used for managing the radio resources. The Radio Network Controller also used for handling of processing of data and transfer of data in between the network and the mobile station. This component also employs processing of data and the transfer of data between mobile station and the towers.
- Core Network: The Core Network component is the backbone of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications systems. This component of UMTS consists of domains like circuit-switched and packet-switched. The circuit-switched domain is used in various cases like the handling of traditional voice calls, services like voice communication, Short Messaging Service. While the packet-switched domain is used for providing running internet services and data-packet transportation. It also provides features like email, web browsing, streaming of multimedia. etc.
