Worldwide, mobile communication system changed the life style of the
human being which creates a paradigm shift on the level of technology and
communication all over the whole world. People are easily connected
anywhere and anytime. Particularly in the developing world, where
conventional telecom infrastructure is often lacking, operators are rapidly
building out their wireless networks to reach potential mobile phone
customers even in the most rural areas. On the other hand, various research
and development process is carried out to increase the effective
communication system to provide sophisticated communication environment
to the user. The communication system performance unit is assessed in
terms of packet transformation either it was a data or voice from one
communication system (transmitter) to another (receiver).The performance is
achieved based on the percentage of blocked and dropped calls, packet loss,
signal to noise ratio, bit error rate and packet delay. The communication
system efficiency can be increased through effective packet transformation
and control. The packet transformations achieved by various routing and
sophisticated traveling algorithms. From the early pre cellular zero generation
(0G) systems to the last implemented fifth generation (5G) the paradigm has
changed. Several innovative improvements made an extensive evolution and
revolution on the level of cellular network generations by developing various
modulation and multiple access schemes, routing and switching protocols and
sophisticated algorithms to handle the exchanging of packets between users.

TDMA: Each user is allowed to transmit only within specified time intervals
(Time Slots). Different users transmit in different Time Slots. When users
transmit, they occupy the whole frequency bandwidth (separation among
users is performed in the time domain).
FDMA: Each user transmits with no limitations in time, but using only a
portion of
the whole available frequency bandwidth. Different users are separated in the
frequency domain.
- 11. 10 | P a g e
Astro ©
Since radio spectrum is a limited resource shared by all users, a method was
devised to divide the bandwidth among as many users as possible. The
method chosen by GSM is a combination of time- and frequency-division
multiple access (TDMA/FDMA). The FDMA part involves the division by
frequency of the (maximum) 25 MHz allocated bandwidth into 124 carrier
frequencies spaced 200 kHz apart. One or more carrier frequencies are
assigned to each base station. Each of these carrier frequencies is then
divided in time, using a TDMA scheme. The fundamental unit of time in this
TDMA scheme is called a burst period and it lasts approx. 0.577 ms. Eight
burst periods are grouped into a TDMA frame (approx. 4.615 ms), which
forms the basic unit for the definition of logical channels. One physical
channel is one burst period per TDMA frame.

CDMA: In CDMA each user is assigned a unique code sequence (spreading
code), which it uses to encode its data signal. The receiver, knowing the code
sequence of the user, decodes the received signal and recovers the original
data. The bandwidth of the coded data signal is chosen to be much larger
than the bandwidth of the original data signal, that is, the encoding process
enlarges (spreads) the spectrum of the data signal. CDMA is based on spread-
spectrum modulation. If multiple users transmit a spread-spectrum signal at
the same time, the receiver will still be able to distinguish between users,
provided that each user has a unique code that has a sufficiently low cross
correlation with the other codes.
Basically, CDMA allows users to share information in the same time occupying
the same frequency bands but only with different codes.

1. Spread Spectrum
2. Cellular Concept
3. Soft and Softer handover

Spread Spectrum: Spread spectrum techniques use a transmission
bandwidth that is order of the magnitude greater than the bandwidth required
the minimum signal. The advantage of spread spectrum technique is that −
many users can simultaneously use the same bandwidth without interfering
with each other.
Spread-spectrum is apparent in the Shannon and Hartley channel-capacity
theorem
In the given equation,
C is the channel capacity (bps).
B is the Channel bandwidth in Hz.
SNR is the signal-to-noise power ratio.
Spread spectrum uses wideband. Additionally, spread-spectrum signals are
harder to jam than narrow band signals. Since spread-spectrum signals are
so wide, they transmit at a much lower spectral power density, measured in
watts per hertz, than narrow band transmitters. Spread-spectrum and
narrowband signals can occupy the same band, with little or no interference.
This capability is the main attraction for all the interest in spread spectrum
today.
Types of spread spectrum
DSSS- Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
FHSS- Frequency Sequence Spread Spectrum
THSS- Time Sequence Spread Spectrum
DSSS is the most common use in CDMA. When transmitting a CDMA spread
spectrum signal, the required data signal is multiplied with what is known as
a spreading or chip code data stream. The resulting data stream has a higher
data rate than the data itself. Often the data is multiplied using the XOR
(exclusive OR) function

Soft and softer handover: Made before break- It is simply Allocate first the
cell we will move to then break connection to move to another allocated cell.
Softer is the same concept but on the level of moving between Sectors in the
same cell.
Rake Receiver: Rake receiver is designed to minimize the effects of the
signal fading due to multipath effects. RAKE receiver, used specially in CDMA
cellular systems, can combine multipath components, which are time-delayed
versions of the original signal transmission. This combining is done in order to
improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver. RAKE receiver
attempts to collect the time shifted versions of the original signal by providing
a separate correlation receiver for each of the multipath signals. This can be
done due to multipath components are practically uncorrelated from another
when their relative propagation delay exceeds a chip period.

Closed loop Power Control: Closed loop power control is a sort of fine
tuning on the open loop power estimate. The cell measures the received
Eb/N0 and compares it to a set point (which may itself be adjusted
dynamically, but that is a cell function). If the measured Eb/N0 is above the
set point, then a "down" command is sent; if below, an "up" command is
sent. The mobile adjusts its power up or down, relative to the open loop
estimate, by about one dB for each command. There is no "do nothing"
command to keep the commands to one bit. A steady "do nothing" decision
has to be transmitted as alternating up-down commands. The commands are
sent once per 1.25millisecond, or a rate of 800 corrections per second. This is
a very fast control mechanism (800 dB per second rate-of-change), and has
proven to work very well in practice. While the closed loop control may not be
fast enough to quite keep up with the very fastest fading, it is at those higher
fading rates that the coding and interleaving are most effective. At lower fade
rates the interleaving may be less effective, but then the power control is
extremely robust. The dynamic range of the closed loop control is ±24 dB
relative to the open loop estimate.
AMR: The Adaptive Multi-Rate standard is a speech coding algorithm
operating at eight bit rates in the range of 4.75 to 12.2 kbps and was
specifically designed to improve link robustness. The AMR bit rates of 12.2,
10.2, 7.95, 7.40, 6.70, 5.90, 5.15 and 4.75 kb/s are based on frames that
contain 160 samples and are 20 milliseconds long. The usage of AMR requires
optimized link adaptation that selects the best codec mode to meet the local
radio channel and capacity requirements. In 3G it convert speech from 0.8 to
12.2Kbps

Types of Codes in CDMA: Codes are assigned to Mobile Code, Base station
Code and Channel Code
•Orthogonal code (Walsh/ channelization codes):They are generated
using Walsh Matrix
•PN code (Pseudo Noise / Scrambling codes): they are 2 types either
18 register short PN with a length of 262,143 which is assigned to base
station and 25 register long PN with a length of 33,554,431.
PN codes are generated it using linear feedback shift register.

Spreading and Scrambling: In a CDMA system, channels are broadcast on
the same frequency using orthogonal spreading codes or patterns. The
orthogonal nature of these patterns means that when a reference pattern is
correlated with a received pattern, the result is 0 for all other signals that are
not required. For the desired signal, the result is non-zero, with the sign
ultimately giving the value of the transmitted bit that is 0 or 1.
Spreading: convert from Narrow to Wide
Scrambling: convert from Narrow to Narrow and from Wide to Wide.

W-CDMA: is a spread-spectrum modulation technique; one which uses
channels whose bandwidth is much greater than that of the data to be
transferred. Instead of each connection being granted a dedicated frequency
band just wide enough to accommodate its envisaged maximum data rate,
W-CDMA channels share a much larger band. The modulation technique
encodes each channel in such a way that a decoder, knowing the code, can
pick out the wanted signal from other signals using the same band, which
simply appear as so much noise. UMTS uses a core network derived from that
of GSM, ensuring backward compatibility of services and allowing seamless
handover between GSM access technology and W CDMA.
Similar to CDMA but it is a wide band equal to 5MHz

OFDMA: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access OFDMA (Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiple Access) is the latest addition to cellular systems.
It provides a multiple access technique based on OFDM (Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing). Figure 1-15 illustrates the basic view of
OFDMA. It can be seen that the bandwidth is broken down to smaller units
known as “subcarriers”. These are grouped together and allocated as a
resource to a device. It can also be seen that a device can be allocated
different resources in both the time and frequency domain.
OFDMA ADVANTAGES:
Higher bitrates
Higher Bandwidth Efficiency
No ISI
Anti-fading system
OFDMA disadvantages:
high PAVR –Peak to Average Power Ratio
Frequency errors and phase noise can cause issues.
Doppler shift impacts subcarrier orthogonality.
Required accurate frequency and time synchronization.
- 20. 19 | P a g e
Astro ©
OFDM subcarriers are generated and decoded using mathematical
functions called FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier
Transform). The IFFT is used in the transmitter to generate the waveform.
Figure 1-39 illustrates how the coded data is first mapped to parallel streams
before being modulated and processed by the IFFT.
At the receiver side, this signal is passed to the FFT which analyses the
complex/combined waveform into the original streams.
CP (Cyclic Prefix): is utilized to combat multipath delays. It
effectively provides a guard period for each OFDMA symbol. Notice that
the Cyclic Prefix is effectively a copy taken from the back of the
original symbol which is then placed in front of the symbol to make the
OFDMA symbol.

QPSK stands for Quadrature Phase Shift Keying. It is digital modulation
technique. QPSK is bandwidth efficient as each signal point represents two
bits. For example, instead of a phase shift of 180 degree, as allowed in BPSK,
a common encoding technique, known as QPSK uses phase shifts of multiples
of 90 degrees.
Input bit stream need to break up to two-two bits and later these two bits are
entered simultaneously to the input of the QPSK modulator.
For the input of 11 the output is (1+ j*1)*KMOD, where KMOD is
normalization factor. For most of the systems KMOD is 0.707 as mentioned
this output of 0.707+j*0.707 is called as symbol which represent two binary
information digits.
In phase:
0 bit: 0 degrees
1 bit: 180 degrees
Quadrature:
0 bit: 90 degrees
1 bit: 270 degrees
In 8PSK there are 8 different phase changes defined, each phase change
represents the transmission of 3 bits.

This system was analog in nature, Mobile Radio Telephone system provides
half duplex communications and it consists of various technologies such as:
AMTS, MTS, MTD, OLT, PTT and IMTS
0.5G is a group of technologies with improved feature than the basic 0G
technologies.
These mobile telephones were usually mounted in cars or trucks, though
briefcase models were also made.
Typically, the transceiver was mounted in the vehicle trunk and attached to
the "head" (dial, display, and handset) mounted near the driver seat.
It is use analog transmission which means that it has a low bit rate, low
capacity and low quality.
In addition, There is no roaming where each country has it is own standards
and protocols.
Roaming ensures that a subscriber is kept connected to a network without
breaking the connection and also able to communicate with anyone and it
does not matter which location you stand in.

GSM, the Global System for Mobile communications, is a digital cellular
communications system which has rapidly gained acceptance and market
share worldwide, although it was initially developed in a European context. In
addition to digital transmission, GSM incorporates many advanced services
and features, including ISDN compatibility and worldwide roaming in other
GSM networks. The advanced services and architecture of GSM have made it
a model for future third-generation cellular systems, such as UMTS. This
paper will give an overview of the services offered by GSM, the system

information about subscribers currently being in the service area such as
identification numbers of subscribers, security information for authentication
of the SIM card for ciphering and services that subscriber can use The VLR
carries out location registrations and updates. It means that when a mobile
station comes to a new MSC/VLR serving area, it must register itself in the
VLR "perform a location update".
HLR-Home Location Register: a database used for storage and
management of subscriptions. The HLR is considered the most important
database, as it stores permanent data about subscribers, including a
subscriber's service profile, location information, and activity status. When an
individual buys a subscription in the form of SIM, then all the information
about this subscription is registered in the HLR of that operator---

As I have nine (9)Time slots [3 Control CH-3 Broadcast CH- 3 Dedicated CH]
but the frame contains only eight(8) time slots.
So we have to load the 9 channels on only the two control timeslots and
activate them in cyclic duration.

High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data (HSCSD), is a development of Circuit
Switched Data, the original data transmission mechanism of the GSM mobile
phone system. In other words, it‟s a high-speed data technology for GSM
networks.
Allocation in High-speed circuit-switched data transfers is done in circuit
switched mode. The difference comes from the ability to use different coding
methods and even multiple time slots to increase data throughput.
HSCSD provides several levels of possible error correction which can be
deployed according to the quality of the radio link. This means that in the
best conditions 14.4Kb/s can be put through a time slot which, under CSD,
would normally only carry 9.6Kb/s.
The second innovation in the HSCSD radio interface was the possibility to use
multiple time slots at the same time. This allows an increase in maximum
transfer rates (using four time slots) up to 57.6 Kb/s and, even in the bad
radio conditions where the highest level of error correction has to be used,
will still lead to a four times speed increase over CSD. HSCSD require the
time slots being used to be fully reserved for a single user. It is possible that
either at the beginning of the call, or at some point during a call, it will not be
possible for the user's full request to be satisfied since the network is often
configured so that normal voice calls take precedence over additional time
slots for HSCSD users. The user is then charged, often at a rate higher than a
normal phone call, and sometimes multiplied by the number of time slots
allocated, based on the period of time that the user has a connection active.
This makes HSCSD relatively expensive in many GSM networks.

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is an extension of the popular GSM
mobile standard that enables packet-switched services on the resources of
the already existing GSM network infrastructure. GPRS deploys new channel
coding schemes and timeslot bundling, GPRS is capable of providing single
user throughput rates of up to 160 kbps (in theory). GSM Circuit switch data
utilized a full rate voice channel (Timeslot) on the air interface for the entire
duration of the data connection whether or not data is being transferred.
These connections are normally billed according to airtime. Scarce radio
resources are only allocated to a mobile if there is data waiting to be sent or
received. As a result GPRS connections can be left „always on‟ and are
normally billed by data volume rather than time

As I mentioned before, GPRS is an upgrading for the GSM with some
extension we easily can upgrade our system.
CCU- Channel Codec Unit: CCU performs the Channel Coding (including the
coding scheme algorithms), power control, Interleaving and timing advance
procedures.
PCU-Packet Control Unit: PCU is the core unit to segregate between GSM
and GPRS traffic. It separates the circuit switched and packet switched traffic
from the user and sends them to the GSM and GPRS networks respectively so
it decides dynamically, which resources are allocated to CS and PS usage so it
differentiates whether data is to be routed to the packet switched or circuit
switched networks. Based on load situation, priority, and operator set rules.
To achieve that PCU have to handles the Conversion Between radio blocks
and packets.
SGSN-Serving GPRS Support Node: It is equivalent to MSC of GSM
network. SGSN Responsible for Data compression which helps to minimize the
size of transmitted data units, authentication of GPRS subscribers, Traffic
statistics collections. In addition SGSN handles PDP (Packet Data Control)
routing and transfer, determine the QoS and manage mobility for users,
routes the packets to Mobile terminals, and is responsible for (handover) -
Mobility management as the subscriber moves from one PLMN area to the
another PLMN and possibly one SGSN to another SGSN. And also it interacts
and interfaces with the NSS (that is, MSC/VLR, HLR, and EIR) and switching
the data in RA (Routing Area).

GPRS introduces the concept of a Routing Area. This concept is
similar to Location Area in GSM, except that it generally contains fewer
cells. Because routing areas are smaller than location areas, less radio
resources are used while broadcasting a page message.
GGSN-Gateway GPRS Support Node: GGSN is the gateway to external
networks. Every connection to a fixed external data network has to go
through a GGSN. The GGSN acts as the anchor point in a GPRS data
connection even when the subscriber moves to another SGSN during
roaming. The GGSN may accept connection request from SGSN that is in
another PLMN. Hence, the concept of coverage area does not apply to GGSN.
There are usually two or more GGSNs in a network for redundancy purposes,
and they back up each other up in case of failure. Functions are shown below:
Routing mobile-destined packets coming from external networks to the
relevant SGSN. Routing packets originating from a mobile to the
correct external network.
Interfaces to external IP networks and deals with security issues
Allocates dynamic or static IP addresses to mobiles either by itself or
with the help of a DHCP or a RADIUS server
Involved in the establishment of tunnels with the SGSN and with other
external networks and VPN.
MS- Mobile Station: Different GPRS MS classes were introduced to cope
with the different needs of future subscribers.
Class A: Traffic of GSM AND GPRS (The using and management of
Voice and Packet Data at the same time)
Class B: Manage either packet data or voice at a time. Use only a
single TRx for both.
Class C: Alternative use of GSM and GPRS only (can manage either
only packet data or only voice.)

A GSM TDMA frame is built up by eight consecutive timeslots. Each timeslot
will build up a logical frame structure, used for carrying e.g. BCCH
information, paging information, speech, or data. In the GPRS case, each
timeslot used for data could be shared by several simultaneous users by
assigning different TFIs, temporary flow identities, to the users. Also one user
can be assigned one or several timeslots.
- 43. 42 | P a g e

The 52-multiframe consists of 52 consecutive assigned timeslots with the
same number (e.g. TS 2 as in Figure 3 of the 52 timeslots, 48 are used for
sending the actual GPRS data. Of the remaining four, the two timeslots
marked „X‟ (nos. 25 and 51) are used for neighbour cell identification, similar
to the IDLE frame in the 26 multi-frame in the speech case. The mobile
searches the SCH burst that holds the BSIC and timing information for the
neighbour. During the „X‟ timeslot, the serving cell does not receive or
transmit anything. Finally, the two timeslots marked „P‟ (nos. 12 and 38) form
the PTCCH channel used for timing advance regulation.

Idle State: When mobile is powered on it will be in idle state and will not be
attached to the GPRS network. In this state the GPRS compatible mobile is
not reachable and location update is not yet performed.
Ready State: After performing GPRS attach, mobile station enters into the
ready state. Here either mobile will be in packet transfer mode or it might
have just finished the transfer. By GPRS detach the mobile will get
disconnected from the network and it will go back to the idle state. All the
PDP contexts will be deleted after disconnection. During ready state mobile
keep updating SGSN about its whereabouts.
Standby State: when the mobile is powered on and will be attached to the
GPRS network but packet transfer has not been initiated for long period of
time. This state is referred as standby state. This will cause GSM ready timer
to expire. Here routing area updates are done when needed.

The EDGE standard is an evolution of the GSM that modifies the type of
modulation to use 8psk.
EDGE uses a different modulation than the modulation used by GSM. EDGE
increases the data rate by a factor of 3 but with a smaller coverage area on
the current 200 kHz GSM radio carrier by changing the type of modulation
used to 8psk, whilst still working with current circuit (and packet) switches. In
theory, EDGE supports throughput of up to 384 Kbit/s for fixed stations
(pedestrians and slow vehicles) and up to 144 Kbit/s for mobile stations (fast
vehicles). The objective of the new technology is to increase data
transmission rates and spectrum efficiency and to facilitate new applications
and increased capacity for mobile use.

3G systems aim to provide enhanced voice, text and data services to
subscribers. The main advantages which are introduced by 3G are enhanced
capacity, quality and data rates. It also enables the provision of advanced
services transparently to the end user and will bridge the gap between the
wireless world and the computing/Internet world, making inter-operation
apparently seamless. The third generation networks should be in a position to
support real-time video, high-speed multimedia and mobile Internet access.
All this should be possible by means of highly evolved air interfaces, packet
core networks, and increased availability of spectrum. The ability to provide
high-speed data is one of the key features of third generation networks, the
real strength of these networks will be providing enhanced capacity for high
quality voice services.

Spectral Efficiency: by reducing the spacing between the subcarriers.
Figure 1-38 illustrates how the subcarriers can overlap due to their
orthogonally with the other subcarriers, i.e. the subcarriers are
mathematically perpendicular to each other. As such, when a
subcarrier is at its maximum the two adjacent subcarriers are passing
through zero. In addition, OFDM systems still employ guard bands.
These are located at the upper and lower parts of the channel and
reduce adjacent channel interference.

FDD Type1: The duration of one LTE radio frame is 10 ms. One frame is
divided into 10 sub frames of 1 ms each, and each sub frame is divided into
two slots of 0.5 ms each. Each slot contains either six or seven OFDM
symbols, depending on the Cyclic Prefix (CP) length. The useful symbol time
is 1/15 kHz= 66.6 microsecond. Since normal CP is about 4.69 microsecond
long, seven OFDM symbols can be placed in the 0.5-ms slot as each symbol
occupies (66.6 + 4.69) = 71.29 microseconds. When extended CP (=16.67
microsecond) is used the total OFDM symbol time is (66.6 + 16.67) = 83.27
microseconds. Six OFDM symbols can then be placed in the 0.5-ms slot.
Frames are useful to send system information. Sub frames facilitate resource
allocation and slots are useful for synchronization. Frequency hopping is
possible at the sub frame and slot levels. In LTE, radio resources are allocated
in units of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs). Each PRB contains 12 subcarriers
and one slot. If the normal Cyclic Prefix is used, a PRB will contain 12
subcarriers over seven symbols. If the extended CP is used, the PRB contains
only six symbols. The UE is specified allocation for the first slot of a sub
frame. There is implicit allocation for the second slot of the sub frame. For
example, if the eNB specifies one RB as the resource allocation for the UE, the
UE actually uses two RBs, one RB in each of the two slots of a subframe.
When frequency hopping is turned on, the actual PRBs that carry the UE data
can be different in the two slots. In a 10 MHz spectrum bandwidth, there are
600 usable subcarriers and 50 PRBs.

Carrier Aggregation: Intra Band and Inter Band: Carrier

Each aggregated carrier is referred to as a component carrier, CC. The
component carrier can have a bandwidth of 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 20 MHz
and a maximum of five component carriers can be aggregated, hence
the maximum aggregated bandwidth is 100 MHz The easiest way to
arrange aggregation would be to use contiguous component carriers
within the same operating frequency band (as defined for LTE), so
called intra-band contiguous. This might not always be possible, due to
operator frequency allocation scenarios. For non-contiguous allocation
it could either be intra-band, i.e. the component carriers belong to the
same operating frequency band, but have a gap, or gaps, in between,
or it could be inter-band, in which case the component carriers belong
to different operating frequency bands.
LTE comp-Coordinated Multi Point operation: In CoMP a number
of TX (transmit) points provide coordinated transmission in the DL, and
a number of RX (receive) points provide coordinated receptid2on in the
UL. A TX/RX-point constitutes of a set of co-located TX/RX antennas
providing coverage in the same sector. The set of TX/RX-points used in
CoMP can either be at different locations, or co-sited but providing
coverage in different sectors, they can also belong to the same or
different eNBs. CoMP can be done in a number of ways, and the
coordination can be done for both homogenous networks as well as
heterogeneous networks. In figure 8 two simplified examples for DL
CoMP is shown. In both these cases DL data is available for
transmission from two TX-points. When two, or more, TX-points,
transmit on the same frequency in the same subframe it is called Joint
Transmission. When data is available for transmission at two or more
TX-points but only scheduled from one TX-point in each subframe it is
called Dynamic Point Selection. For UL CoMP there is for example Joint
Reception, a number of RX-points receive the UL data from one UE,
and the received data is combined to improve the quality. When the
TX/RX-points are controlled by different eNBs extra delay might be
added, since the eNBs must communicate, for example in order to
make scheduling decisions. When CoMP is used additional radio
resources for signaling is required e.g. to provide UE scheduling
information for the different DL/UL resources.
