3 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
In this section all the requirements are specified in detail to make the SRS complete.

3.1 External Interface

3.1.1 User Details The user is an actor who acts at the MS to interact with the system.

The user is provided by a 10-digit mobile number by the network operator to identify the user. The users details purposes such as directory number profile information current location and validation period are stored in the HLR that is used during the verification and to know the current location of the user. The user related data also include a list of information such as Customized Calling Numbers, the Messages received and the names of the preferred networks. 3.1.2 Hardware Interface As stated in 2.1.3 3.1.3 Software Interfaces As stated in 2.1.4 3.1.4 Communication Interfaces As stated in 2.1.5

3.2 Functions
3.2.1 To Maintain SIM Information The SIM is protected by a Personal Identification Number (PIN) between four to eight digits in length. The PIN is initially loaded by the network operator at the subscription time. This PIN can be changed or deactivated by the user. All the users have to first enter the PIN number on the mobile display screen the first time the user Enter the SIM card, in order to activate the SIM Card login before using the GSM system. All users will have a password-secured access to the network. Each user can change the PIN number through his ME. If for the first three times the user enters the wrong PIN then he/she has to enter the PUK number in hi ME. This PUK number is provided to the user by the network operator. A SIM contains the subscriber-related information, including PIN and PUK Codes. The subscriber related data also include a list of information such as Customized Calling Numbers, the Messages received and the names of the preferred networks. 3.2.2 Making and Receiving Calls Registration process Before a user makes a call the ME must be registered by the VLR of the visited location. The HLR must also be informed about this registration. To access the MS, the HLR is queried to find the current VLR of the MS. This registration process is given as-: The MS periodically listens to the broadcast frequency from the BTS. If the MS detects that it has entered a new the mobile phone networklocation area, it sends a registration message to the new VLR using the Standalone Dedicated Control Channel that is used for signal processing and for short messages.

The new VLR communicates with the old VLR to find the HLR of the MS. The new VLR then performs the authentication process. After the process is authenticated, the new VLR send the registration messages to the HLR. If the registration request is accepted the HLR provides the new VLR with all relevant subscriber information for call handling. The new VLR informs the MS of the successful registration. After the new VLR is registered, the HLR sends a deregistration message to the old VLR. The old VLR cancels the record for the MS and sends an acknowledgement to the HLR for the cancellation.

Make Calls The process of making calls (outgoing calls) is given as-: The user dials the telephone number, presses the send or talk key. The mobile phone sends a call setup request message to the visited MSC. This is done via BTS and the BSC. The BSC is connected to the MSC through the A Interface. The MSC is switch that queires the HLR to find the current VLR of the MS. The HLR queries the VLR in which the MS resides to get a a temporary number from the VLR routable address. The VLR returns the routable address to the orignating switch, that is the MSC through the HLR. This number is relayed to the Gateway MSC, which uses it to route the call to another Mobile Switching Center, called the Visiting MSC. Based on the routable address, a voice circuit is set up from the orignating switch to the MS through the visited MSC.

Receive Calls The proceess of receiving calls (incoming calls) is given as-: When someone places a call to a mobile phone, they dial the telephone number associated with the phone user and the call is routed to the mobile phone operator's Gateway Mobile Switching Centre. The Gateway MSC, as the name suggests, acts as the "entrance" from the Public Switched Telephone Network to the provider's network. The HLR then queries the VLR and requests a temporary number from the VLR. When the call is received by the Visiting MSC, the temporary number is used to find the phone's record in the Visited Location Register. This record identifies the phone's location area and the exact location of the mobile is returned to the Visited MSC. The VMSC then forwards the call to the appropriate phone, and the phone rings. The subscriber then answers the call and a speech path is created through the Visiting MSC and Gateway MSC back to the network of the person making the call, and a normal telephone call follows. 3.2.3 Send and Receive SMS Sending and receiving messages occur simultaneously.

The steps in sending and receiving a message are as follows-: The originating MS that sends the SMS is first transferred to the SMS-IWMSC. From there the message is delivered to SM-SC. The SM-SC is connected to the SMS GMSC The SMS GMSC finds the current location of the MSC of the message receiver and forwards the message to the MSC. The MSC then broadcasts the message to the BSS and the BTS page the destination MS. The destination MS contains a special software to decode the message and to store the message at the MS.

3.2.4 Roaming Management When the mobile user visits other network other than the home system, the user is associated with the VLR of the visited system where a temporary record for the mobile user is created. The mobile user is registered at the new VLR. The registration process is described in the following steps-: When the mobile user moves from one visited system to another, it must register in the VLR in the new visited system. The new VLR informs the mobile users HLR of the persons current locationthe address of the new VLR. The HLR sends an acknowledgement, which includes the MSs profile, to the new VLR. The new VLR informs the MS of the successful registration. After the new VLR is registered, the HLR sends a deregistration message to the old VLR. The old VLR cancels the record for the MS and sends an acknowledgement to the HLR for the cancellation.

3.3 Software System Attributes

3.3.1 Security Security will be achieved by ensuring that each user's enter the PIN correctly. If for the first three times the PIN number is not entered correctly the SIM is blocked automatically. To unblock the SIM the user has to enter the PUK number that is provided by the network operator. 3.3.2 Maintainability The application will be designed in a maintainable manner. 3.3.3 Portability The application will be easily portable on any Windows based system which has MSOffice installed. 3.3.4Reliability

The system will be very much reliable 3.3.5Availability As per the Rules and Regulations of the government.

3.4 DATABASE

3.4.1 HLR
The HLR is database used for mobile user information management. The HLR consists of three type of information: Mobile Station Information such as the phone number. Location Information such as the address of the VLR where the MS resides. Service Information such as the service subscription, service restriction and supplementary services.

3.4.2 VLR
The VLR is the database of the service area visited by an MS. The VLR contains all subscriber data of an MS required for call handling and other purposes. Similar to the HLR, the VLR information consists of three parts: Mobile Station Information such as the phone number. Location Information such as the MSC number and the location area ID. Service Information which is the subset of the service information stored in the HLR.

4 Document Approval
