Abstract

This ETSI Technical Report (TR) identifies the general requirements of the radio interface of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). These requirements are derived from the UMTS services and facilities framework contained within UMTS 22.01 [7] and 22.05 [8], taking into consideration different operational environments, mobility requirements, cell architectures, etc. of a possible model of the protocol stack of the radio interfaces is included.
