›› Abstract

This talk will focus on the implementation of Third Generation [3G] mobile networks using Wideband CDMA. The primary points of discussion will be the network architecture , Radio Resource Management [management of resources like code and Bandwidth] and Mobility Management [Handovers]. Parallels will be drawn to the WiMAX implementation, wherever possible, to establish a stronger foothold. The talk will conclude by discussing the path of evolution to High Speed Packet Access networks [HSDPA/HSUPA] and the benefits of such an evolution.
