Patent Issued for Method and Arrangement in a Telecommunication System
„UTRAN (Universal terrestrial radio access network) is a term that identifies the radio access network of a UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), wherein the UTRAN consists of Radio Network Controllers (RNCs) and NodeBs i.e. radio base stations. The NodeBs communicate wirelessly with mobile user equipments and the RNCs control the NodeBs. The RNCs are further connected to the Core Network (CN). Evolved UTRAN (E-UTRAN) is an evolution of the UTRAN towards a high-data rate, low-latency and packet-optimised radio access network. Further the E-UTRAN does only consist of eNodeBs (evolved NodeBs), and the eNodeBs are interconnected and further connected to the Evolved Packet Core network (EPC). E-UTRAN is also being referred to as Long Term Evolution (LTE) and is standardized within the 3.sup.rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
