1 Cellular Communication

The cellular systems are made up of numerous transmitting and receiving sites, whose

individual coverage areas partially overlap. The concept of frequency re-use, same

frequency is used by several sites, allows a high traffic density in a wide area. Due to the

limited transmission range of the terminals, cellular systems are based on a large number of

base stations on the infrastructure side, scattered over the area to cover, with each covering

a fairly small geographical zone called cell. Cells are often represented by hexagons (see

figure 1.1.).

GSM Network Architecture.

GSM network can be broadly divided into three broad parts, namely:

1. Mobile Station(MS) carried by the subscriber,

2. Base Station Sub-system (BSS) which controls the radio link with the mobile station.

3. Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) which performs the switching of calls between the mobile

users, and between mobile and fixed network users.

FIGURE 1.2 GSM ARCHITECTURE

Each mobile station is given a unique identity. As soon as the mobile phone is turned on, it

registers with the network and is authenticated; as such the network could always find the mobile

phone.

Larger amount of data is being exchanged to and from the following functional blocks in the MSC:

Visitor Location Register, VLR

Stores information about mobile subscribers that enter it coverage area, which is associated with

the geographical area where the mobile is currently roaming. When there is an incoming call for

the mobile, the HLR is interrogated about the present address of the VLR.

Home Location Register, HLR

A database that contains all data concerning the subscription of the mobile subscriber, i.e. their

access capabilities, subscribed services, and supplementary services. It also contains information

about the VLR that is handling the mobile station currently. When the mobile changes location,

the HLR is updated accordingly. It also provides the MSC with information about the MSC area

where the mobile is actually located to allow incoming calls to be routed immediately to the called

party.

Authentication Centre, AUC

Stored information that is necessary to protect communication through the air interface against

any intrusions. The legitimacy of the subscriber is established through authentication and

ciphering, which protects the user information against unwanted disclosure.

Equipment Identity Register, EIR

An option the network operator can use to enforce security. With this feature the network can

identify defective or stolen mobile that may not be used in the network.

1.1 Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)

SIM is a smart card, which has a computer, and memory chip that is permanently installed in the

mobile equipment. It comes in either the size of a credit card or smaller version known as the

plug-in SIM.

The subscriber information, which includes a unique number called the International Mobile

Subscriber Identity (IMSI), is stored in the SIM card. SIM card identifies the subscriber to the

network.

To protect the SIM card from improper use, a security feature, a four digits personal identification

number (PIN), is built in. The PIN is stored in the SIM card and can be changed by the

subscriber. PIN2 is required for additional functions available with a special SIM card (Consult the

operator for more information about the PIN 2).

A code (PUK) is provided for unlocking the SIM card if the SIM card is blocked

Extended GSM 900, E-GSM

This is a new standard that allows Network Operators to increase their capacity through an

extended frequency. The frequency range of E-GSM is as follows:

· Mobile Transmit: 880,2 - 914,8 MHz

· Mobile Receive: 925,2 - 959,8 MHz

X3 is a GSM Phase 2 / Phase 2+ Dual band E-GSM900 / GSM 1800 mobile phone.
