Abstract
Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) is a projected European standard of the CCIR defined Future Public Land Mobile Telecommunication Systems (FPLMTS) for third generation mobile communications. RACE Mobile project is studying issues related to UMTS. RACE is the European Commission’s programme on Research and development in Advanced Communications in Europe. The main purpose of this programme is to introduce an Integrated Broadband Communications Network (IBCN) so that it provides an universal standard telecommunications system across Europe with the capacity to meet demand in the early 21st. century.
The purpose of this paper is to make the reader familiar with the RACE Mobile Project which is partially funded by Commission of European Community (CEC). Further, the paper describes many techniques investigated within the project with respect to UMTS requirements.
