2. GSM Node Definitions
MS: Mobile Subscriber
The subscriber and the mobile device.
BTS: Base Station Transceiver
Mobile wireless transceiver used to aggregate discrete mobile systems in the BSS.
BSC: Base Station Controller
BTS aggregator and controller. Termination point for the Abis interface.
BSS: Base Station Subsystem
The MS, BTS and BSC.
MSC: Mobile Switching Center
Main call processing element in the mobile wireless network. Equivalent to a Class 5
switch.
VLR: Visitor Location Register
A database that stores information related to the MSs associated with the MSC to
which it is attached.
HLR: Home Location Register
A central database that stores the subscriber information for all mobile subscribers
authorized to use a given GSM network.
3. UMTS Node Definitions
UE
User Equipment (the mobile device).
NodeB
Analogous to the BTS in the GSM/GPRS BSS, the NodeB is responsible for Ue
aggregation. Uses W-CDMA for the air interface.
Radio Access Controller (RNC)
Analogous to the BSC in the GSM/GPRS BSS, the RNC aggregates Iub traffic from
the NodeBs in a particular region of the RAN.
Responsible for air encryption, mobility management (handover), and voice/data
transmission to the circuit-switched and packet-switched core.
Media Gateway (MGW)
The element responsible for interworking voice traffic between and among formats
(e.g. ATM AAL2 RTP/IP).
4. SGSN/GGSN
SGSN: Serving GPRS Support Node
An interworking element responsible for providing packet access between the RAN
and the Packet Switched Network (PSN). Encapsulates subscriber traffic in GTP for
transmission across the Gn interface.
GGSN: Gateway GPRS Support Node
An IP element responsible for de-encapsulating GTP traffic from the Gn interface and
interfacing with external networks (such as the Internet).
