In the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System UMTS and 3GPP Long Term Evolution LTE , user equipment UE is any device used directly by an end user to communicate. It can be a hand held telephone, a laptop computer equipped with a mobile broadband adapter, or any other device. It connects to the Base transceiver station base station Node B eNodeB as specified in the ETSI 125 136 series and 3GPP 25 36 series of specifications. It roughly corresponds to the mobile station MS in GSM systems. The radio interface between the UE and the Node B is called Uu . The radio interface between the UE and the eNodeB is called LTE Uu . Functionality UE handles the following tasks towards the core network Mobility management Call control Session management Identity management The corresponding protocols are transmitted transparently via a Node B, that is, Node B does not change, use or understand the information.

Unreferenced date January 2007 User expectations refers to the consistency that users expect from products. Interaction design is very concerned with this topic. For example, our user expectations for traffic behavior is one of the more consistent ones because it is governed by traffic law s that are enforced. Software , or even worse small consumer electronics , on the other hand, can have widely varying degrees of consistency. A good rule of thumb or design principle to use in interaction design is to follow the Principle of least astonishment . In the case of interactive software application s, for example, users form expectations based on their experience with similar kinds of software. Effective software design aims to conform with prevailing norms for aspects of behavior such as the software s user interface and its response time responsiveness . A commonly noted sign of poor usability and human factors due to the violation of user expectations is when information sign signs are needed for common things like doors. This was made famous by Donald A. Norman in his seminal book The Psychology of Everyday Things . There is also a website devoted to such Bad Designs http baddesigns.com .

Unreferenced January 2010 date September 2010 User pays , or beneficiary pays , is a pricing approach based on the idea that the most efficient allocation of resources occurs when consumer s pay the full cost of the goods that they consume. In public finance it stands with another principle of Progressive tax ability to pay , which states that those who have the means should share more of the burden of public services . The ability to pay principle is one the reasons for the general acceptance of the progressive income tax system. The principle of user pay supports the idea of horizontal equity , which states that those in similar wealth and income positions should be treated equally by the tax system. The basic idea is that those who do not use a service should not be obligated to pay for it. As long as the beneficiary aligns exactly with the user, the user pay principle works. Those who do not go to a movie are not obligated to pay for someone else to attend. In public goods, beneficiaries and users often do not align. The divergence of user and beneficiary occurs when Production economics production and Consumption economics consumption have external effects. The driver, who purchases gasoline , may believe he or she is paying for the full cost user pay of using gasoline, except that greenhouse gases are produced. These impose costs on the Environment biophysical environment and are believed to contribute to climate change . The beneficiaries must bear costs not paid in the purchase of gasoline. In this case the user pay principle results in the driver not paying the full or social cost of using fossil fuels , which creates a strong argument for regulation and other forms of public intervention. Increasing taxes on gasoline is one possible response that preserves the user pay principle by increasing the costs to user.
