Abstract S-UMTS assumes the role of a new generation global system for mobile communications. The standardization of its newly introduced technologies and features is on the run. This paper proposes a possible structure of S-UMTS and discusses steps towards the final architecture. A smooth migration process is suggested resulting in a system with all requested new features which is compatible and involves almost all, previous generation, terrestrial and satellite systems. The first step foresees the interworking of today operable systems achievable by introducing Interworking Units (IWUs) which connect regarded systems and provide some of the needed features. The next step involves introduction of new elements, which should work together with the previous generation systems. By adding elements, in the further steps, the new S-UMTS system becomes independent of the
