UMTS Generic Architecture, cont.

The general idea in UMTS is to harmonise the CN with

GSM/GPRS as much as possible. This can be done since there

is no major difference in how

is no major difference in how subscribers or charging are

subscribers or charging are

handled in both systems. Therefore, CN is constituted of a

Circuit Switched (CS) domain and a Packet Switched (PS)

domain which have the same main elements as is GSM/GPRS

beside the CN common elements.

The biggest change is in the UMTS Radio Access Network that

introduces several new functions and a totally new air interface.

The Radio Access Network is controlled by a Radio Network

Controller (RNC), unlike the Base Station Controller (BSC) in
