Time Division Multiple Access
oEach subscriber is assigned a time slot to send/receive a data burst; is used in digital systems.
Code Division Multiple Access
oEach subscriber is assigned a code which is used to multiply the signal sent or received by the subscriber.
GSM
•Global System For Mobile Communication •GSM uses FDMA & TDMA technology.•GSM operate in frequency bands: 900MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz.•In INDIA we use GSM 900 and GSM 1800,GSM 1900 is used in America.
•GSM provides voice and data services.
• In GSM 900 and GSM 1800,the frequency ranges are divided into carrier frequencies spaced at 200kHz.
• In GSM 900 the duplex frequency is 25 MHz.• In GSM 1800 it is 75 MHz.• The total number of carriers in GSM 900 is 125,
whereas in GSM 1800 , the number of carriers is 375.
• The lowest and highest channels are not used to avoid interference(guard band).
• For Vodafone, the duplex freq. is divided into 22 channels i.e. ARFCN(Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number) are sub-divided into 8 time subslot.
GSM uplink/downlink frequency bands used

Downlink
Uplink
• Uplink frequencyo It refers to a signal flow from Mobile Station (MS)
to Base Transceiver Station (BTS).
• Downlink frequencyo It refers to a signal flow from Base Transceiver
Station (BTS) to Mobile Station(MS).
• Duplex Frequencyo The radio carrier frequencies arranged in pairs
and it is the difference between these two frequencies.
• The simultaneous use of separate uplink and downlink frequencies enables transmission and receiving of signals.
GSM ARCHITECTURE
• A GSM network comprises of several elements.• Mobile Station• BTS(Base Transceiver Station)• BSC(Base Station Controller)• MSC(Mobile Services Switching Centre)• HLR(Home Location Register)• AUC(Authentication Centre)• VLR(Visitor Location Register)• GGSN(Gateway GPRS Support Node)• SGSN(Serving GPRS Support Node) • All these elements constitute a PLMN(Public Land
Mobile Network)
MOBILE STATION
•It is the combination of ME(Mobile Equipment) and SIM(Subscriber Identity Module)•ME is available in various styles and power.•SIM is a small chip,which contains the subscriber information.

SIM
•SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE•SIM cards are embedded with a microprocessor.•Stores customer identity information and is made to fit inside the cellular phone.• In addition, the SIM card contains tools needed for
authentication and coding and, depending on the type of the card, there is also storage space for messages such as phone numbers, etc.
• Memory capacity:- 1K, 3K, 8K, 16K,32K,64K
• GSM IDENTITIES
• GSM specifies few identities for its network and the network functions are based on these identities.
• GSM specifies 3 types of identities :-1-Subscriber Related2-Equipment Related3-Location Related
• Subscriber Related identities
o Mobile Station ISDN Number(MSISDN)
MSISDN=CC+NDC+SN CC=Country Code(+91) NDC=National Destination Code(9776/9583/7873 ) SN=Subscriber Number(018180)
The maximun length of MSISDN is of 15 digit.
o International Mobile Subscriber Identity(IMSI)
IMSI=MCC+MNC+MSINMCC=Mobile country code(405)MNC=Mobile Network Code(753)MSIN=Mobile Subscriber Identification Number(9 to 10 digit) All Network Related sub. Info is connected to the IMSI,Which is stored in SIM as well as in the HLR & in the serving VLR.
o Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity(TMSI)
It is a temporary IMSI number allocated to an MS at registration.
Is used to protect the subscriber identity on air interface,by not disclosing the IMSI to unauthorized individuals.
TMSI is half the length(max 8 digit) of the IMSI,thus allowing twice as many MS’s to be paged in the same paging message.
o International Mobile Equipment Identity(IMEI)
• IMEI = TAC + FAC + SNR + Spare• TAC = Type Approval Code(6 digit)• FAC = Final Assembly Code(2 digit)• SNR = Serial Number(6 digit)• Spare = A spare bit for future use
o LOCATION RELATED IDENTITY
Mobile Station Roaming Number(MSRN)
MSRN=CC+NDC+SN CC=Country CodeNDC=National Destination Code(9776/9583/7873)SN=Subscriber Number(018380)
The mobile station roaming number(MSRN) is a temporary network identity which is assigned during the mobile terminating call.
oLocation Area Identity(LAI)
• The Location Area Identity(LAI) is a temporary network identity,which is also required for routing.
• The two main purposes of LAI are :oPaging , which is used to inform the MSC
of the LA in which the MS is currently situated.
oLocation updating of mobile subscribers. • The LAI contains the following:
oMCC(3 digits)oMNC(2-3 digits)oLAC(max 16bits)
• Base Station Identity Code(BSIC)• The Base Station Identity(BSIC) enables MS’s
to distinguish between different base stations sending on the same frequency.
• The BSIC consists of:oNCCoBCC
• NCC Network color code(3 bits) identifies the PLMN.It does not uniquely identify the operator.NCC is primarily used to distinguish between operators on each side of a border.
• BCC Base Station Color Code(3 bits) identifies the Base Station to help distinguish between BTS using the same control frequencies.
• Location Number(LN)
•The Location Number (LN) is a number related to a certain geographical area , which the network operator specifies by “tying” the location numbers to cells, location areas,or MSC/VLR service areas.The LN is used to implement features like regional/local subscription and geographical differentiated charging.•The LN consists of the following :

BTS• Base Transceiver Station.• Responsible for communication to and from MS via
air interface.• BTS comprises radio transmission and reception
devices.• Including the antennae and signaling processing
specific to the radio interface.• BTS separates the speech and control signaling
associated with a MS and sends them to the BSC on separate channels.
• Vodafone uses two types of NOKIA BTS:--1.Ultra BTS2.Flexi BTS
ULTRA BTS FLEXI BTS
• Ultra BTS can support max. of 12 TRx (transcievers)
•Flexi BTS can support max. of 24 TRx.
•Ultra has drawback that it has all Pin connections on back side, if any of the Pin of a particular slot is damaged then that slot is useless
•Flexi BTS all connections are on front side so it is easy to install every equipment.
•Use to cover less area. •Use to cover maximum area.
BTS Structure:-• Transceiver (TRX):- It basically does transmission and
reception of signals. It also does sending and reception of signals to and from higher network entities (like the BSC in mobile telephony).
• Power amplifier (PA):-Amplifies the signal from TRX for transmission through antenna; may be integrated with TRX.
• Duplexer:-For separating sending and receiving signals to/from antenna. Does sending and receiving signals through the same antenna ports (cables to antenna).
• Antenna:-This is the structure that lies underneath the BTS; it can be installed as it is or disguised in some way (concealed cell sites).
•Tranceiver Baseband unit(BB2A ): This unit is a digital signal processing board, consisting of two independent baseband units, functioning independently. It performs digital signal processing for speech and data channels. It uses software downloaded from the Base Operations and Interfaces (BOIx) unit sets its timing according to refer.•Base Operations & Interface unit(BOIx):This unit handles all the operations that are carried out in a BTS.The various functions of BOIx include:--
BTS initialization and self-testing
Configuration
O&M signaling
Software download
Main clock functions
Timing functions
Collection and management of external and internal alarms
Message delivery to the BSC (through the VXxx unit)
Cabinet control
• Combiner:-It Combines feeds from several TRXs so that they could be sent out through a single antenna. Allows for a reduction in the number of antenna used.

Base Station Controller (BSC)
• Monitor and Control several base stations• Frequency administration, control of
BTSs, exchange functions.• Channel allocation and release, handover
management.• BSC is the interface between MSC and
BTS• BSC is connected on one side to several
BTSs and on the other side to the MSC.
Mobile service SwitchingCenter (MSC)
•Responsible for all switching functions related to call processing•Coordinate the setting up of calls to and from GSM users.•MSC is the interface between GSM network & PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network)
Gateway MSC (G-MSC)
•The MSC with an interface to other networks is called GMSC. •Network operator may equip all there MSCs with gateway function or only few. •MSC that don’t have gateway function has to route call from GMSC. •GMSC has some additional tasks like call from outer network enters in GMSC which queries HLR then forwarded the call to MSC where the called party is located.
Home Location Register (HLR)
• A database in charge of the management of mobile subscribers.
• Contains information of network subscribers• Information on teleservices and bearer
services subscription, service restrictions, and supplementary services.
• The data stored in HLR is of a semi permanent nature and does not usually change from call to call.
Visitor Location Register (VLR)
• Contains the relevant data of all MSs currently located in a serving MSC
• The permanent data is the same as data in the HLR.
• The temporary data includesTemporary Subscriber Identity (TMSI)Location Area Identity (LAI) of an MS• VLR allocates mobile subscriber roaming numbers (MSRNs) for the incoming call setup.
The relation between MSC and VLR
• Sum of MSC areas determine the geographical area of any PLMN.
• Each MSC has its own VLR so PLMN can also be described as the sum of all VLR areas.
• VLR can serve several MSC but one MSC always use only one VLR.
Authentication Center (AuC)
• 1st level security mechanism for a GSM cellular network.
• is a database that stores the list of authorized subscribers of a GSM network.
• it is linked to the MSC and checks the identity of each user trying to connect.
• also provides encryption parameters to secure a call made in the network.
