  2. OBJECTIVES • Describe the Cellular Concept • Explain the GSM Access Network • Explain the GSM Core Network • Explain the GPRS Core Network

  3. Inter-Exchange Junction Subscriber Line (2W) BSC BTS MS Telephone Exchange Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) Communication - Mobile

  4. CELLULARMOBILECONCEPTS WHAT IS A CELL ? • A base station (transmitter) having a number of • RF channels is called a cell • Each cell covers a a limited number of mobile • subscribers within the cell boundaries • ( Coverage area) • Typical Cell Radius Aprrox = 30 Km • (Start up), 1 KM (Mature)

  5. Voice Channels Coverage area Forward path Reverse path Or control channels MS Lines to BSC A RADIO CELL

  6. Large no. of subscribers in the range of millions Fundamental problems • Radio range, or coverage • No. of channels, or voice circuits • Full, seamless service coverage

  7. GSM Specifications Carrier Separation - 200 kHz Duplex Distance - 45 MHz No. of RF Carriers - 124 Access Method - TDMA/FDMA Modulation Method - GMSK Transmission Rate - 270.833 Kbps Speech Coding - Full rate 13 Kbps Half rate 6.5 Kbps

  12. OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS • Subscribers are not allocated dedicated channels • TCH Allocated to users only when needed • Hence IDLE MODE & DEDICATED MODE • DEDICATED MODE -- When a full Bi -directional P to P CHL has been allocated during an established call • IDLE MODE MODE -- When MS is powered on (active) without being in dedicated mode

  14. GSM Service Area:Total area served by the combination of all member countries where a mobile can be served. PLMN Service Area:It is one N/W area. MSC Service Area:There can many MSC/VLR in one PLMN area.It is one Mobile Exch. Area. GMSC:All I/C calls for PLMN N/W will be routed through GMSC. In a GSM/PLMN N/W all mobile terminated calls will be routed to a Gateway MSC. Call connections between PLMNs , or to fixed N/Ws must be routed to a GMSC.The GMSC contains the Inter working functions to make these connections. Location Area Cells GSM Network Structure

  15. GSM Network Structure LOCATION AREA :There are several LA in a MSC/VLR combination. A LA is a part of the MSC/VLR service area in which a MS may move freely without updating location information to the MSC/VLR exchange that control the LA. Within a LA a paging message is broadcast in order to find the called mobile subs. LA can be identified by system using the LAI. CELL :A cell is an identity served by one BTS. The MS distinguishes between cells using the BASE STATION IDENTIFICATION CODE(BSIC) that the cell site broadcast over the air.

  23. International mobile subscriber’s Identity The IMSI is an unique identity which is used internationally and used within the network to identify the mobile subscribers. The IMSI is stored on the subscriber identity module (SIM), the HLR, VLR and AC database. GSMIMSI

  43. To ensure the interworking of the PLMN, PDN and the wireless networks, two new major components are required. These components are called GPRS Support Nodes. There are two types of GPRS Support Nodes Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) GPRS COMPONENTS

  44. An SGSN delivers packets to mobile stations within its service area. SGSNs send queries to Home Location Registers (HLRs) to obtain profile data of GPRS subscribers. SGSNs detect new GPRS mobile stations in a given service area; and, finally, SGSNs process registration of new mobile subscribers and keep a record of their location inside a given service area. Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN)

  45. GGSNs are used as interfaces to external PDNs. GGSNs maintain routing information that is necessary to tunnel the Protocol Data Units (PDUs) to the SGSNs that service particular mobile stations. Other functions include network and subscriber screening and address mapping. One or more GGSNs may support multiple SGSNs. Gateway GPRS Support Node(GGSN)

  46. In addition to the new GPRS components, existing GSM and TDMA network elements must also be enhanced in order to support GPRS. The following two pieces of equipment must be enhanced: Base Station System (BSS): must be enhanced to recognize and send user data to the SGSN that is serving the area. Home Location Register (HLR): must be enhanced to register GPRS user profiles and respond to queries originating from SGSNs regarding these profiles. GPRS Network Enhancements

  47. Increased revenues by moving in to the mobile data market Gain new subscribers requiring the data services without investing in to PCs to gain internet access Retain current subscribers by offering new services Reduce costs due to efficient use of network resources Advantages of GPRS
