Design Goals of AMPS


The very first cellular phone technology Conceived by Bell Labs High voice quality (near wire line) Small coverage area (cell radius: 1-16 miles) Large cells thermal noise limited and small cells interference limited Frequency reuse planned in system design 666 channels (later increased to 832 channels) Large trunk mounted unit (now very small under dash units) Low power mobile (handheld) transmitters (4 watts or less) Medium power base stations (10s of watts) Low blocking (2%) during busy hour Immediate service (1-5 business days; now 1-5 hours) System capacity for 100,000 or more customers per city Mobile (handheld) can place and receive calls

Characteristics of AMPS

Frequency range (45 MHz separation): 824 MHz ~ 849 MHz for mobile transmit 869 MHz ~ 894 MHz for base transmit 3 KHz analog voice channels modulated on to 30 KHz channels FM (frequency modulation) for voice MFM (Manchester frequency modulation) at 10 kbps for data Control channels Voice channels

AMPS Frequency Allocation

Band A ~ 835 MHz and 845 MHz ~ 849 MHz Receive: 869 MHz ~ 880 MHz and 890 MHz ~ 891.5 MHz Band B Transmit: 835 MHz ~ 845 MHz and 846.5 MHz ~ 849 MHz Receive: 880 MHz ~ 890 MHz and 891.5 MHz ~ 894 MHz

Transmit: 824 MHz

312 usable RF pairs divided by 7 (the reuse factor) = roughly 45 channel pairs per cell

Key Terms and Concepts


Term
Anchor MSC

Definition
This MSC is as the initial contact point when an originating call is initiated by the MS or when a terminating call (to the MS) is received from the fixed telephone network. This MSC is being requested to provide the next service during a handoff operation. This MSC is the owner of the MS in the sense that it is the owner of the directory number from which the MSs MIN is derived. This MSC is currently serving the MS at a cell site within a coverage area controlled by the MSC. This MSC is the MSC that was selected from a list of MSCs as having the cell site that can service the MS with the best signal quality.

Functionalities of Constituents of GSM


Base Station Controller (BSC): looks over a certain number of BTS to ensure proper operation, takes care of Handoff between BTSs. Mobile Switching Center (MSC): Mainly performs the switching by controlling calls to and from other telephone/data systems. Also, performs functions such as network interfacing, common channel signaling, etc. Authentication Center (AC): AC unit provides authentication and encryption parameters that verify the user's identity and ensure the confidentiality of each call Equipment Identity Register (EIR): EIR is a database that contains information about the identity of mobile equipment that prevents calls from stolen, unauthorized, or defective MSs.

Control Channels of GSM


Control Channels used to Broadcast Information to all MSs.
Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH): Used to transmit the system parameters like the frequency of operation in the cell, operator identifiers, etc., Frequency Correction Channel (FCCH): Used for transmission of frequency references and frequency correction bursts Synchronization Channel (SCH): Used to provide the synchronization training sequences burst of 64 bits length to the MSs.

Control Channels used to establish link between MS and BS


Random Access Channel (RACH): Used by the MS to transmit information regarding the requested dedicated channel from GSM. Paging Channel: Used by the BS to communicate with individual MS in the cell. Access Grant Channel: Used by the BS to send information about timing and synchronization.
Copyright 2002, Dr. Dharma P. Agrawal and Dr. Qing-An Zeng. All rights reserved. 40

Control Channels of GSM


Dedicated Control Channels used to serve for any control information transmission during the actual communication Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH): Allocated along with a
user channel, for transmission of control information during the actual transmission.

Stand-alone dedicated Control Channel: Allocated with SACCH, used


for transfer of signaling information between the BS and the MS.

Fast Associated Control Channel (FACCH): Not a dedicated channel


but carries the same information as SDCCH. But, it is a part of Traffic channel while SDCCH is a part of control channel

International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)


Each mobile unit is identified uniquely with a set of values. These values are used to identify the country in which the mobile system resides, the mobile network, and the mobile subscriber. The remainder of the IMSI is made up of the mobile subscriber identification code (MSIC), which is the customer identification number. The IMSI is also used for an MSC/VLR to find out the subscribers home PLMN (Public land mobile network). The IMSI is stored on the subscriber identity module (SIM), which is located in the subscribers mobile unit.
Copyright 2002, Dr. Dharma P. Agrawal and Dr. Qing-An Zeng. All rights reserved. 44

Format of IMSI
15 digits or less 3 digits Mobile country code (MCC) 2 digits Mobile network code (MNC) Up to 9 digits Mobile subscriber identification code (MSIC)

Example: MCC = 05 Australia; MNC = 01 Telecom Australia; MCC = 234 UK MNC = 234 UK Vodafone

Copyright 2002, Dr. Dharma P. Agrawal and Dr. Qing-An Zeng. All rights reserved.

45

Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)

SIM contains subscriber-specific information such as:


Phone numbers, Personal identification number (PIN), Security/Authentication parameters.

SIM can also be used to store short message. SIM can be a small plug-in module that is placed (somewhat permanently) in the mobile unit, or it can be a card (like a credit card). A modular portable SIM allows a user to use different terminal sets. SIM supports roaming.

MSISDN is the number that the calling party dials in order to reach the subscriber. It is used by the land network to route calls toward an appropriate MSC. The format of MSISDN

IMSI and TMSI


International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)

IMSI is the primary function of subscriber within the mobile network and is permanently assigned to him.

Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI)

TMSI is an alias, used in place of the IMSI. This value is sent over the air interface in place of the IMSI for purposes of security.

Handover (Handoff)
Handover Intra-cell / Intra-BTS Description The channel for the connection is changed within the cell, e.g., if the channel has a high level of interference. The change can apply to another frequency of the same cell or to another time slot of the same frequency. In this case there is a change in radio channel between two cells that are served by the same BSC.

Inter-cell / Intra-BSC

Inter-BSC / Intra-MSC A connection is changed between two cells that are served by different BSCs but operate in the area of the same MSC. Inter-MSC A connection is changed between two cells that are in different MSC areas.
