Affordability
There was agreement among industry that 3G systems had to be affordable, in order to encourage
their adoption by consumers and operators.
Modular Design
The vision for IMT-2000 systems is that they must be easily expandable in order to allow for
growth in users, coverage areas, and new services, with minimum initial investment.
3G wireless networks.
• These specifications were then integrated and developed by
the 3GPP project.
• IN and CAMEL.
• During high cell loading, such as during busy hours, the AMR codec uses lower
bit rates to offer higher capacity while providing slightly lower speech quality.
• Also if a mobile is running out of the cell coverage area and using maximum
transmission power, a lower AMR bit rate is used to extend the cell coverage
area.
• The AMR codec has eight source rates; 4.75, 5.15, 5.90, 6.70 (PDC-EFR), 7.40
(IS-641), 7.95 (VSELP), 10.2 and 12.2 kbps (GSM-EFR).

lu Interface
The user plane (UP) carries user voice and packet data information.
Iur Interface.
The connection between the RNC and Node B is the Iub interface.
There is one Iub interface for each Node B. The Iub interface is used
for all of the communications between Node B and the RNC of the
same RNS. Three different protocol planes are defined for it.

Transport network control plane (TNCP)

QoS Classes.
UMTS defines four different QoS classes.
These are conversational class, streaming class, interactive class, and
background class.
The conversational and streaming classes are mostly used to carry real-time
traffic flows. The main difference between them is based on how delay
sensitive the traffic is. The conversational real-time services, such as video
telephony and speech are the most delay sensitive applications. They require
data streams to be carried in conversational class.
The interactive class and background class are mainly used for traditional
applications such as www, e-mail, Telnet, FTP, and news. Due to less stringent
delay requirements compared to the conversational and streaming classes,
both classes provide a better error rate by means of channel coding and
retransmission.
