Call Flow Comparison GSM UMTS

The document compares the call flow processes in GSM and UMTS networks. In GSM, call setup involves locating the mobile station, initiating a call on common channels, performing measurements and filtering, and assigning traffic channels. Handover involves supervision and can occur between cells or base station controllers based on quality, urgency, or hierarchical cell selection. In UMTS, call setup activates power and code control algorithms, establishes a radio access bearer on dedicated channels using admission control and load sharing, and assigns dedicated physical data channels. Soft handover allows transfers between cells without changing the dedicated channel and is based on quality, throughput, and other factors.
