Feasibility study on the evolution of UTRAN architecture
This present document is for the 3GPP Release 6 Study Item “Evolution of UTRAN Architecture”(see [1]).
The purpose of the present document is to help TSG RAN WG3 to define different UTRAN Architecture scenarios and compare the benefits of each of them. The study on the evolved architecture shall be performed for both transport options, the ATM transport option and IP transport option.
This document is intended to gather all information in order to compare the solutions and to draw a conclusion on the way forward.
This document is a ‘living’ document, i.e. it is permanently updated and presented to TSG-RAN meetings.
