Abstract

Future 3rd generation Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS) will be based on ATM and the extension of B-ISDN although N-ISDN may be used during an evolution period. The RACE MObile NETwork project (MONET) is developing the fixed network part of UMTS. The paper describes network architectures and protocol models for UMTS with scenarios for the way in which ATM may be used to support signalling. Simulation models for both ATM and N-ISDN signalling have been developed and included within a simulation platform. This platform also considers the mapping of functional models onto network implementations to enable the analysis of information flow between functions in the network.
