This course provides an overview of Mobile Handsets and the technologies that are used within them. It commences with a look at the fundamental requirements, before exploring the individual hardware and software components within the handset. Technology choices within standard or advanced modules and features are explored.
Procedures and operation of the handset within the Mobile Network are explained in detail, including actions at switch on, cell selection, location updates, establishing calls and sessions, power control, handovers, security, access to messaging services, and support for roaming.
Methods for authenticating the subscriber, encryption, Digital Rights Management (DRM), and handset security software are explained.
The role of the Operating System is explored together with the requirements and drivers affecting this change.
The work of standardisation and industry bodies such as ETSI, 3GPP, and OMA are explained in the context of achieving handset standardization.
An appreciation of basic telecommunication networks would be an advantage, but not essential.
