1. Course Description
Course name 3G Radio Access Network Signaling
Level Advance
Target group Experience RAN network engineers who involve in network
rollout and start up

Objectives  Understand important RAN signalling procedures relate

to call setup: RRC connection setup, transport user
plane setup, packet switch attach/detach, PDP context
activation, intra frequency handover and HSDPA
