Compatible with abundant services and applications of GSM and GPRS,
the WCDMA system has an open integrated service platform to provide a wide
prospect for various 3G services. This chapter introduces the categories and
features of 3G services, and presents several typical types of services and
their implementation methods, so that the readers may gain a general
understanding of 3G services.
2.1.1 Categories
of 3G Services
l
Basic telecom services, including voice service, emergency
call service and SMS.
l
Supplementary services, the
same as the supplementary services defined in GSM.
l
