Abstract

This chapter describes the radio access technologies and physical-layer channels for the Evolved UTRA (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access, UMTS: Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network), which represent the long-term evolution of UMTS. Discussion on the Evolved UTRA is ongoing in the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) with the target of completing the work item (WI) specifications by around September 2007
