from a variety of diverse sub-systems, all of which must work
seamlessly together. Today's users have very high expectations
which set tough demands on manufacturers as they introduce third
generation technology. While quality, in terms of the phone's
stability, performance and behaviour on the network, originate from
good design, the only way to be sure of quality is by testing it.
This makes testing a very important part of any mobile phone's life
cycle, from development through to manufacture and beyond, touching
a number of different disciplines and departments.
Testing UMTS is divided in three sections. Section One
provides an overview of major types of testing and the
organisations and tasks involved. In particular it looks at what is
involved in conformance testing and device certification. Section
Two is more technical and looks at the UMTS standard itself,
working through the protocol layers. Future trends and their impact
on testing mobile devices are examined in Section Three, including
the emergence of new technologies both in the access network and
the core network and the evolution of new testing
methodologies.
* Examines UMTS and the testing of UMTS devices which are huge
areas in the testing process
* Provides essential information on processes and techniques for
mobile phone testing
* Operation of the UMTS standard is described from a test point
of view
* Focuses on most important areas of the 3rd-Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) standard from a test perspective
* Offers advice on products, services and resources that aid the
testing process.
This book is an ideal text for engineers and managers who are
either directly involved in the process of testing UMTS mobiles, or
who are looking for an understanding of what is involved in
testing. Professionals involved in the development of UMTS mobiles,
integration and verification, conformance testing, operator
acceptance testing, manufacturing and servicing will find this book
indispensable.
Daniel Fox currently works for Anritsu - the world leader in measurement systems for ISDN optical communications -- as Director of Technology. He has overall responsibility for system architecture for the company's wireless test and measurement platforms. Daniel has been at Anritsu since 1999 and, prior to his appointment as Director of Technology, managed the business unit responsible for protocol test software solutions for UMTS. He served as an official in the 3GPP standards programme, first as the Chair of the signaling sub-working group that developed the protocol conformance test specifications, and later as Convener of that group and Vice-Chair of the terminals working group. Before joining Anritsu Daniel worked for Motorola Semiconductors for almost 10 years. He has a degree in Applied Physics and Biology from the University of Wales, University College Swansea.
