Abstract :
UMA is the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) global standard for subscriber access to mobile circuit, packet and IMS-based services over any IP-based access network. This paper analyzes the potential disadvantages of traditional communication network teaching and proposes an approach to setup simulated mobile network using UMA technology. In this simulated mobile network, we can make a call, send short message via WiFi network. Students can find out what happen when a call is made and write programs to simulate MS(mobile station) on this platfrom. It will help students to understand the principles of communication network better.
