This is a relatively large "chunk" of the airwaves, which has been problematic as the US was slow to allocate new frequencies specifically for 3G systems. One is that each transmitter is assigned an identification code. This means that data from multiple transmitters can be carried over the same frequency in the same geographical area at the same time without interference or loss of signal strength. The system also uses power control.
This adjusts the strength of the signal transmitted by each cellphone so that it reaches the nearest transmitter at the same strength, regardless of how far away the phone is.
The set of properties related to data transmission is called Radio Bearer RB. Security includes two procedures: integrity and ciphering. Ciphering ensures that no one listens to your data on the air interface. This allows a simple migration for existing GSM operators. However, the migration path to UMTS is still costly: while much of the core infrastructure is shared with GSM, the cost of obtaining new spectrum licenses and overlaying UMTS at existing towers is high.
The network layer OSI 3 includes the Radio Resource Management protocol RRM that manages the bearer channels between the mobile terminals and the fixed network, including the handovers. In Europe, the license process occurred at the tail end of the technology bubble, and the auction mechanisms for allocation set up in some countries resulted in some extremely high prices being paid for the original MHz licenses, notably in the UK and Germany. It has been suggested that these huge license fees have the character of a very large tax paid on future income expected many years down the road.
In any event, the high prices paid put some European telecom operators close to bankruptcy most notably KPN. Over the last few years some operators have written off some or all of the license costs. Regulators have, however, freed up some of the MHz range for 3G services, together with a different range around MHz for the uplink.
Bell and Telus share the network. This company is also co-owned by Hutchison 3G Australia, and this is the primary network used by their customers. Optus is currently rolling out a 3G network operating on the MHz band in cities and most large towns, and the MHz band in regional areas.
Vodafone is also building a 3G network using the MHz band. In India BSNL has started its 3G services since October beginning with the larger cities and then expanding over to smaller cities.
Roaming charges are usually significantly higher than regular usage charges. Most UMTS licensees consider ubiquitous, transparent global roaming an important issue.
To enable a high degree of interoperability, UMTS phones usually support several different frequencies in addition to their GSM fallback. A UMTS phone and network must support a common frequency to work together. Because of the frequencies used, early models of UMTS phones designated for the United States will likely not be operable elsewhere and vice versa.
This is a global standard of identification, and enables a network to identify and authenticate the U SIM in the phone. Roaming agreements between networks allow for calls to a customer to be redirected to them while roaming and determine the services and prices available to the user. In addition to user subscriber information and authentication information, the U SIM provides storage space for phone book contact. Handsets can store their data on their own memory or on the U SIM card which is usually more limited in its phone book contact information.
Japan was the first country to adopt 3G technologies, and since they had not used GSM previously they had no need to build GSM compatibility into their handsets and their 3G handsets were smaller than those available elsewhere. All of the major 2G phone manufacturers that are still in business are now manufacturers of 3G phones. The early 3G handsets and modems were specific to the frequencies required in their country, which meant they could only roam to other countries on the same 3G frequency though they can fall back to the older GSM standard.
Canada and USA have a common share of frequencies, as do most European countries. Some software installs itself from the modem, so that in some cases absolutely no knowledge of technology is required to get online in moments. Using a phone that supports 3G and Bluetooth 2.
