scope:
The scope of the present document is to describe possible strategies for the evolution of fixed networks towards UMTS. The following issues are covered by this document:
- Identification of access scenarios to UMTS.
- Definition of networks/network components that need to be upgraded with UMTS capabilities.
- Interworking with legacy networks / network components.
- Introduction of wireless access networks as specified by 3GPP RAN and EP BRAN and interconnection to the fixed network (e.g. ISDN, PSTN, IP, ATM) evolved to UMTS.
- Introduction of mobility-supporting capabilities in fixed networks to facilitate global roaming within the IMT-2 000 family of third generation systems.
