Compatibility in WCDMA RAN
WCDMA RAN Compatibility
1 Compatibility in WCDMA RAN The WCDMA RAN has 3GPP-standardized interfaces between 3G subsystems, which allows the operators to continue their existing 2G and 3G supplier policy if they wish to do so. Depending on the operator's requirements, Nokia supplies individual network elements (NEs) or a complete turnkey system. 3G network architecture is presented in Figure 1: Radio access network architecture. Both radio access network (RAN) and core network (CN) are illustrated in the figure to show the relation between them. The figure is a logical representation of the network elements, interfaces, and their relations in the integrated network. Figure 1
Radio access network architecture
The compatibility of a release or system product guarantees the following: • •
8
New product releases or system products do not hinder the performance of existing products. Product releases or system products that have an impact on other NEs work in the network as planned.

Compatibility in WCDMA RAN
New products can be properly installed with other relevant or existing products if necessary.
The performance of a functionality might depend on several product releases. In such a case, a number of new product releases need to be installed before the functionality is fully available. The idea of compatibility in the context of WCDMA RAN covers the following: • • •
Compatibility statements required for standardization purposes Compatibility of the Nokia network, which translates into the compatibility of releases introducing both RAN and CN elements Compatibility feature with a focus on WCDMA
