Cellular History

Mobile Radios have been in use for approximately 70 years and the cellular concept was conceived in the 1940s. Public cellular mobile radio was not introduced in the US until 1983.
In the beginning of the twentieth century, mobile radios were limited to shipboard use due to the high power requirements and bulky tube radio technology. Automotive systems in the 1920s operated on 6 volt batteries with a limited storage capacity.
One of the first useful means of automotive mobile radio occurred in 1928 by the Detroit police department. Transmission was broadcast from a central location and could only be received by the mobile police radios.
Introduction of the first two way mobile application was delayed until 1933. This simplex AM (Amplitude Modulation) push to talk system was introduced by the police department in Bayonne, New Jersey. The first FM (Frequency Modulation) mobile transmission (two frequency simplex) was used by the Connecticut State Police at Hartford in 1940.
The first step towards mobile radio connection with the land line telephone network was established in St. Louis in 1946. It was called an “urban” system and only supported three channels.
In 1976, New York City had only 12 radio channels that supported 545 subscribers with a waiting list of 3700.
In the 1970s, available cellular spectrum was constrained to frequencies above 800 MHz due to equipment design limitations and poor radio propagation characteristics at frequencies above 1–GHz, this resulted in the allocation of the 825–890 MHz region.
In 1974, 40 MHz of spectrum was allocated for cellular service and in 1986, an additional 10 MHz of spectrum was added to facilitate expansion. The present frequency assignments for the US Cellular system mobile phone is
824.040–848.970 MHz transmit and 869.040–893.970 MHz receive These bands have been frequency divided (FDMA) into 30 kHz channels. This results in a maximum capacity of 832 channels. These channels were then divided into two groups with 416 channels assigned to each system.

The main objective of a cellular system is to provide communications to many mobile users. Communication between the Base Station and Mobile Phone is via a Radio Frequency (RF) link. A Mobile Telephone Exchange (MTX) is the interface between usually several base stations and Land line communications. The MTX has a number of functions that include, controlling mobile phone transfers between base stations, regulating mobile phone power output, establishing mobile phone identity and billing for the air time.

Audio signals
Cellular phones are designed to transmit audio signals in a frequency range of 300 Hz to 3000 Hz. This range of frequencies contains most of the intelligibility necessary for one person to understand what another is saying. As the figure above shows one person wants to talk to another who is some distance away. Cellular phones allow communication between two or more people almost without geographical restrictions.

System Overview
High frequency signals will radiate electromagnetic waves from an antenna. Generally the higher the power the further the waves radiate. Our voice information is at a low frequency, these frequencies will not radiate. The solution is to put our information onto a high frequency carrier wave.

These signals can then be radiated out an antenna and carry our information to the receiver.
The function of placing information on a carrier wave is called MODULATION.

Figure 4. AMPSTX/RX:
In AMPS mode information is placed on the carrier by changing the carrier’s frequency. The modulating signal causes the carrier ’s frequency to increase and decrease. This is called Frequency Modulation (FM), and changes to the carrier frequency are known as deviation.
The receiver picks up RF signals, amplifies them and then retrieves (Demodulates) information from the RF carrier. Demodulating changes in RF carrier frequency recovers the original modulating audio frequencies.

Figure 5. FM Modulation
The figure above represents the effect of a 1 kHz audio modulating tone on an RF carrier. The RF carrier in Figure 5 has a deviation of 8 kHz. A carrier deviation of 8 kHz means the frequency swings from plus 8 kHz to minus 8 kHz about the center frequency.
When using Frequency Modulation (FM) how far from the center frequency the carrier is deviated relates to how strong (loud) the modulating signal is. For example if you whispered at the microphone the carrier might deviate only 1 or 2 kHz. On the other hand someone shouting at the microphone of their cellular phone might cause it to deviate the maximum amount of 12 kHz. The standard convention is that the positive part of the modulating signal will cause the carrier to deviate to a higher frequency. While a negative modulation signal will cause the carrier to go lower in frequency.
The rate, how fast the carrier frequency changes from high to low frequency, is determined by the modulating signal’s frequency.

Figure 8. AMP: Ch # & usage
The 800 MHz cellular phone band was divided into two parts by the FCC for competitive reasons. When cellular phone service was first started channel numbering was from 1 to 799. Later when the bottom 33 channels were added a nonconsecutive channel numbering scheme was used. Cellular phones that were in use when only 799 channels were available would have tuned to an incorrect frequency if the channel numbering had been changed when the new channels were added. Close examination will show that both “A” and “B” providers have an equal number of channels.
When cellular phones were first introduced they scanned all available channels. Present day cellular phone’s scan only the Control Channels. Most phones will scan only the “A” or “B” control channels even though they are capable of scanning all 42 channels. Air time is less expensive if only the phone’s Home channels are used.

Figure 9. AMPS: Modulating signals
As figure 9 illustrates an AMPS cellular phone can have four different types of modulation.
DATA MODULATION
The first type of modulation a cellular phone uses when communicating with a Base Station is Data. Data from the phone includes ESN, MIN, phone number to be dialed and home system identification. Base Station data includes registration conformation, notification of calls to the mobile, traffic channel assignment and commands to adjust the mobile’s power output.
The data is Frequency Shift Keyed on the RF carrier. This is one way digital one’s and zero’s can be modulated on an analog carrier. The 10 kHz data stream is always transmitter by its self and not in combination with any other signal when in the AMPS mode.
Supervisory Audio Tone (SAT)
SAT is used to insure that an RF link is being maintained between the mobile and base station. The base station will transmit its assigned SAT frequency to the mobile phone. When the mobile receives the SAT signal it will check to see that it is the assigned frequency and then re–transmit SAT back to the base station. If either the base station or the mobile fails to receive SAT the call will be terminated. SAT is added to voice so a normal voice channel will have both voice and SAT. The user does not hear SAT tones because they are filtered out with bandpass filters that only allow voice frequencies to pass through.
Voice
Voice is transmitted in a range of frequencies of 300 Hz to 3 kHz. Remember that SAT is also transmitted at the same time. The nominal deviation for Voice is 2.9 kHz and the maximum deviation for Voice is 12 kHz. Combining SAT and Voice together will give a total maximum deviation of 14 kHz that the phone should never exceed. If a mobile phone exceeds maximum deviation it will start interfering with calls in adjacent channels.

System Overview
Signaling tone (ST)
Signaling tone is a plain 10 kHz tone. ST is used for signaling the base station when the mobile phone is “off hook”, conversation is ended “on hook”, hook flash, and handoff acknowledgment. When the mobile is being called,and is ringing, but has not been taken “off hook” a continuous ST is transmitted to the base station. When the mobile is taken “off hook”, answered, the ST is no longer sent. To hang–up the “end” key is pressed, the mobile then sends out a 1.8 second burst of ST. If during a conversation a mobile user wants “additional” service a number/command is loaded into the mobile call memory and the “send” key is pressed, the mobile will transmit ST for 400 ms. The base station responds will a data acknowledgment, the mobile then sends its “additional” service request. When a hand–off between base stations becomes necessary the MTX generates a hand–off order and sends it to the mobile. The mobile stores this information and sends a 50 ms burst of ST to the base station then changes to the new base station and traffic channel. When the MTX detects SAT on the new channel the old base station channel is shut down.

Figure 10. AMPS: BS & Cell Set–up
When a cellular phone is first turned on it will scan the control channels. The phone will record several different items of information, the channel number, Base Station ID, System ID (SID) and the signal level of each Base Station received. In the example Base Station A4D7 on control channel 333 was the strongest signal at a level of –100 dBm. The mobile phone will then lock on control channel 333. Once this is done the mobile phone is said to be “In Service”

NHD–4 System Overview
Line 1 in figure 11 is the state the mobile phone was at in figure 10. The mobile has found the strongest control channel and is “In service”.
In line 2 the mobile phone transmits it’s ESN/MIN to the Base Station (only if not in its home area) using 10 kbytes/s data via the control channel.
Line 3 shows the Base Station sending the mobile phone a data transmission confirming TX registration. At this time the Cellular Mobile Telephone Exchange knows the mobile phone is ON and operating and which Base Station is currently in contact with the mobile phone. This is important if the mobile phone gets a call from another phone. The cellular system needs to know where each operating mobile is in order to route calls to them.
Line 4 shows the Base Station back to continuously transmitting its ID. The mobile phone stays on channel 333 and shows “In service”. Periodically the mobile will rescan the control channels to make sure that it is still locked on the strongest control channel.
