Abstract

UMTS je treća generacija mobilnih mreža koja omogućuje bolje performance mreže u odnosu na predhodne s obzirom na zračno sučelje između pristupne mreže i jezgrene mreže, kvalitetu usluge, pokrivenost, kapacitet, itd. S UMTS-om je uvedeno mnogo novih multimedijskih usluga. Sa većom propusnošću UMTS omogućuje nove usluge kao što su video konferencija ili IPTV. Konekcije u domeni komutacije paketa koriste internet protokol, što znači da je virtualna veza uvijek na raspolaganju u bilo kojoj točki u mreži. U mreži treće generacije potrebne su funkcije kontrole pristupa i kontrola zagušenja kako bi se osigurala kvaliteta usluge i povećala propusnost sustava. Cilj ovog rada je prikazi analize kapaciteta i pokrivenosti. Analiza pokrivenosti prikazuje broj korisnika u UMTS ćeliji sa sektorizacijom i bez sektorizacije. Analiza kapaciteta prikazuje koliko korisnika može biti posluženo u UMTS ćeliji u scenarijima s određenim kombinacijma prometa i karakteristikama mobilnosti.

Abstract (english)

UMTS is the third generation mobile networks that enables better network performance than its predecessor in the form of air interface between access network and the core network, quality of service, coverage, capacity, etc. With UMTS, many new multimedia services are introduced. The higher bandwidth of UMTS also enables other new services like video conferencing or IPTV. A packet-switched connection uses the internet protocol, meaning that a virtual connection is always available to any other end point in the network. In third generation networks admission control and congestion control are required to guarantee the quality of service and to maximise the system throughput. The aim of this study was to review analysis of capacity and coverage. Coverage analysis review number of users in UMTS cell with sectorisation and without sectorisation. Capacity analysis shows how many users can be safely supported in the UMTS cell in scenarios with certain traffic mix and mobility characteristics.
