Call Flow Comparison GSM UMTS

The document compares the call flow processes in GSM and UMTS networks. In GSM, the call flow involves locating the mobile station, performing measurements, assigning channels on the control channel or traffic channel, performing network functions evaluation, organizing a list, allocating a reply, and handling handover or clearing. In UMTS, the call flow activates power and code control algorithms, performs power control, connects via the RRC protocol, selects a radio access bearer, assigns the dedicated physical data channel, and handles soft/softer handover and supervision. Both standards describe locating the mobile device, assigning channels, and handling handover, but UMTS introduces additional 3G radio
