With the arrival of 3rd generation cellular networks it is expected that a lot of new cellular services will be available to the mobile users like video calling, location based services etc. Similarly MBMS is one such service which is targeted for 3G mobile users for viewing talk shows, live sport events etc. One shall view this service like a small portable T.V being carried by the mobile user. The user watches the programs of his liking by joining if he wishes. In this paper we focus on the possible UTRAN architectures to provide MBMS service within UMIS networks. The paper primarily focuses on the requirement aspect, notification aspect and the mobility aspect. The paper lists many options for notifications and elaborates on them in terms of pros and cons. In the end the paper conclude with an UTRAN architecture for MBMS service which meets the requirements of this service as well as makes minimum changes to the existing UTRAN architecture while attempting to save terminal power for this service.

Recently, mobile communication systems have supported various services including internet from voice centric service as they evolve toward 3G. To accommodate the increasing number of users, an AAL2 multiplexing scheme is introduced in the UTRAN tub interface for link efficiency. However, limited radio resources and different requirements of various services make it difficult to guarantee the QoS requirements at radio access networks. The conventional AAL2/ATM multiplexing systems focused on the multiplexing efficiency of voice anddata services and QoS issues of real time and non real time services. In this paper, we classfy various services according to QoS requirements and propose AAL2/ATM multiplexing schemes using statistical multiplexing and scheduling with a rather simple structure to guarantee the given requirements. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes perform better than the conventional schemes to guarantee QoS requirements of various services.

3GPP는 HSPA와 같은 라디오 액세스 기술의 개선을 바탕으로 다가오는 수 년 동안 높은 경쟁력을 가질 것으로 예측된다. 그러나 3GPP에서는 급속히 발전되는 정보통신서비스를 효율적으로 제공하기 위해, 3GPP R6 기술과 비교하여 사용자와 사업자의 비용을 줄이면서도 고품질의 다양한 서비스를 제공하는 새로운 이동통신기술의 필요성을 인식하고, 낮은 전송 지연(low latency), 높은 전송률(high data rate), 시스템 용량과 커버리지를 개선하는 3G long term evolution 표준기술 작성을 시작하였다. 이에 따라 지난 2004년 말부터 3GPP에 참여한 사업자, 벤더, 연구소 등은 2007년 6월 표준규격작성완료를 목표로 LTE와 SAE에 대한 연구를 진행해 오고 있다. 이들 연구는 상호 운용성을 제공하기 위한 기술적 솔루션을 최소로 하면서 불필요하게 중복되는 필수 특성들을 줄이고 다양한 액세스 네트워크 사이에서 모빌리티를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 문서에서는 2006년 3월까지 진행된 3GPP의 표준화 및 기술 동향에 대해살펴본다.

An ATM/AAL2 is standardized to transmit delay sensitive application services, which has small size packet, efficiently. An AAL2 transmission scheme is used to deliver voice and data traffic on the lob interface between base station (Node-B) and Radio Network Controller (RNC) in UMTS network. To predict AAL2 performance, a detailed end-to-end UMTS network performance simulator was developed. We performed detailed simulation(cell packing density and bandwidth gain) for voice and data services in UTRAN. The results indicate that the maximum bandwidth gain in Node-B is about 17% and the bandwidth gain of AAL2 multiplexing in $I_{ub}$ for data services is less than that for voice service. Futhermore, the more offered load increase the more the bandwidth gain decreases in a concentrator.

In this paper, we propose self-organizing schemes for the initial configuration of the neighbor cell list (NCL), maintenance of the NCL, and physical cell identifier (PCI) allocation in heterogeneous networks such as long term evolution systems where lower transmission power nodes are additionally deployed in macrocell networks. Accurate NCL maintenance is required for efficient PCI allocation and for avoiding handover delay and redundantly increased system overhead. Proposed self-organizing schemes for the initial NCL configuration and PCI allocation are based on evolved universal terrestrial radio access network NodeB (eNB) scanning that measures reference signal to interference and noise ratio and reference symbol received power, respectively, transmitted from adjacent eNBs. On the other hand, the maintenance of the NCL is managed by adding or removing cells based on periodic user equipment measurements. We provide performance analysis of the proposed schemes under various scenarios in the respects of NCL detection probability, NCL false alarm rate, handover delay area ratio, PCI conflict ratio, etc.

Cellular (C) setups facilitate the connectivity amongst the devices with better provisioning of services to its users. Vehicular networks are one of the representative setups that aim at expanding their functionalities by using the available cellular systems like Long Term Evolution (LTE)-based Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) as well as the upcoming Fifth Generation (5G)-based functional architecture. The vehicular networks include Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle to Pedestrian (V2P) and Vehicle to Network (V2N), all of which are referred to as Vehicle to Everything (V2X). 5G has dominated the vehicular network and most of the upcoming research is motivated towards the fully functional utilization of 5G-V2X. Despite that, credential management and edge-initiated security are yet to be resolved under 5G-V2X. To further understand the issue, this paper presents security management as a principle of sustainability and key-management. The performance tradeoff is evaluated with the key-updates required to maintain a secure connection between the vehicles and the 5G-terminals. The proposed approach aims at the utilization of high-speed mmWave-based backhaul for enhancing the security operations between the core and the sub-divided functions at the edge of the network through a dual security management framework. The evaluations are conducted using numerical simulations, which help to understand the impact on the sustainability of connections as well as identification of the fail-safe points for secure and fast operations. Furthermore, the evaluations help to follow the multiple tradeoffs of security and performance based on the metrics like mandatory key updates, the range of operations and the probability of connectivity.

The current LTE network system provides service by locally allocating eNodeB to the EPC(Evolved Packet Core). However, it is not suitable for inter-node communication based on the distributed network environment. In this paper, we propose an integrated system by configuring E-UTRAN and EPC as All-In-One type to enable service in each distributed node. M2M UE is mounted on a each node for wireless In-band backhaul link. The integrated node provides inter-node communication over the wireless in-band backhaul link. If a normal UE moves and an access node changes in the system all entities of LTE integrated into one, it is necessary to change the P-GW which is IP anchor. In order to support the inter-node mobility even if P-GW is changed, We defined UPFE(User Packet Forwarding Extension) scheme and implemented the handover procedure of EPC. Also, we analyze the cell range of the integrated LTE system with the addition of the node and compare the handover delay with the current system.
