This document discusses selecting the appropriate capacity for a Base Station Controller (BSC) in a mobile telecommunications network. It provides the following guidelines:
1. Allow a 20% margin for additional TRXs and space for future upgrading. Minimize handovers between BSCs.
2. Calculate required capacity based on offered traffic plus a 10% margin, not installed capacity.
3. Use Erlang B calculations to determine the number of channels needed to support the traffic load at a 0.1% blocking rate.
4. Divide the number of required channels by the number supported per Ater link or interface to determine the number of links needed between the BSC and core network.
Third generation mobile networks will provide significantly higher data rates and allow for convergence of various communication services. 3G networks will transition to an all-IP infrastructure and support multiple access technologies and standards to provide connectivity anywhere in the world. This will enable always-on high-speed access to multimedia applications and the internet from mobile devices.

Chapter 4 Summary
Soft handoff
It is a process of establishing a link with a target sector before breaking the link with the serving sector.
Softer handoff
Similar to the soft handoff, but the softer handoff is occurred among multi-sectors in the same base station.
Hard handoff
Hard handoff occurs when the two sectors are not synchronized or are not on the same frequency. Interruption in voice or data communication occurs but this interruption does not effect the user communication.
CDMA soft handoff is driven by the handset
Handset continuously checks available pilots
Handset tells system pilots it currently sees
System assigns sectors (up to 6 max.), tells handset
Handset assigns its fingers accordingly
All messages sent by dim-and-burst, no muting!
Each end of the link chooses what works best, on a frame-by-frame basis!
Users are totally unaware of handoff
The document discusses the process of registration and call setup in a mobile network. It describes:
1) Registration allows idle mobiles to notify the network of their presence and updates their location information. This allows efficient paging and delivery of incoming calls.
2) The main states and processes involved in call setup are the idle state, access state, and traffic channel state. The document outlines the signaling flows for mobile terminated and originated calls.
3) For a mobile terminated call, the network pages the mobile on the paging channel. The mobile responds on the access channel and is assigned a traffic channel to receive the call. For a mobile originated call, the mobile requests access to initiate the call and is assigned
The global system for mobile communications (GSM) is a set of recommendations and specifications for a digital cellular telephone network (known as a Public Land Mobile Network, or PLMN). These recommendations ensure the compatibility of equipment from different GSM manufacturers, and interconnectivity between different administrations, including operations across international boundaries
The GSM network is comprised of the following components:
Network Elements
The GSM network incorporates a number of network elements to support mobile equipment. They are listed and described in the GSM network elements section of this chapter.
GSM subsystems
In addition, the network includes subsystems that are not formally recognized as network elements but are necessary for network operation. These are described in the GSM subsystems (non-network elements) section of this chapter.
Standardized Interfaces
GSM specifies standards for interfaces between network elements, which ensure the connectivity of GSM equipment from different manufacturers. These are listed in the Standardized interfaces section of this chapter.
Network Protocols
For most of the network communications on these interfaces, internationally recognized communications protocols have been used
These are identified in the Network protocols section of this chapter.
GSM Frequencies
The frequency allocations for GSM 900, Extended GSM and Digital Communications Systems are identified in the GSM frequencies section of this chapter.
CDMA 1x Introduction to Power Control Issue2.1Tempus Telcosys
One of the aims of the CDMA1X system is to maximize the number of its users. If each mobile station (MS) adjusts its transmitter power to minimize the signal noise received by the base transceiver station (BTS), the capacity of the system is maximized. Higher power brings higher interference and results in more capacity loss. Power control can adjust the transmission power of the MS and BTS, aiming to minimize the interference
After learning this course, you will learn the following:
The importance of the power control of the CDMA system
Categories and calculating theories of the power control
Data configuration of the power control
Chapter 1 Goals and Principles of Power Control
Chapter 2 Categories and Arithmetic of Power Control
Chapter 3 Data Configuration of Power Control
Each couple of customers is in a same room.
Each couple of customers speaks a language different from that spoken by other couples.
If the noise becomes louder, all the customers will raise their voices.
If the noise is too louder, the customers may go to other rooms.
The customer who speaks too loudly will affect the communication of others.
The transmission power of the control BTS and MS must ensure that the signal sent to the receiver through the complicated radio space can meet the threshold of correct demodulation.
When the first principle is satisfied, the transmission power of the BTS and MS is required to be lowered as much as possible to decrease the interference between users and best optimize the network performance.
The transmission power of the MS near the BTS is lower than that of the MS far from the BTS and of the MS in the fading areas.

FCCH = FREQUENCY CORRECTION CHANNEL
=> To tell the Mobile that this is the BCCH carrier
=> To able the Mobile to synchronize to the frequency
(Downlink only)
SCH = SYNCHRONISATION CHANNEL
=> Used for sending BSIC (Base station Identity Code)
=> Give TDMA frame number to the Mobile.
(Downlink only)
BCCH = BROADCAST CONTROL CHANNEL
=> Used for sending information to the mobile like
CGI (Cell Global identity), LAI (Location Area Identity),
BCCH carriers of the neighboring cells,
maximum output power allowed in the cell and other
broadcast messages like barred cell. (Downlink only)
PCH = PAGING CHANNEL
=> Used for paging the Mobile. (Downlink only)
Reason could be an incoming call or an incoming Short Message.
RACH = RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL
=> Used for responding to the paging (terminating), Location updating
or to make call access (originating) by asking for a signaling channel.
(Uplink only)
AGCH = ACCESS GRANT CHANNEL
=> Used to allocate SDCCH to the mobile.
(Downlink only)
ell Allocation (CA) is the subset of the total frequency band that is available for one BTS. It can be viewed as the total transport resource available for traffic between the BTS and its attached MSs. One Radio Frequency CHannel (RFCH) of the CA is used to carry synchronization information and the Broadcast Control CHannel (BCCH). This can be any of the carriers in the cell and it is known as the BCCH carrier or the c
carrier. Strong efficiency and quality requirements have resulted in a
0
rather complex way of utilizing the frequency resource. This chapter describes the basic principles of how to use this resource from the physical resource itself to the information transport service offered by the BTS.
Carrier separation is 200 kHz, which provides: • 124 pairs of carriers in the GSM 900 band • 374 pairs of carriers in the GSM 1800 band • 299 pairs of carriers in the GSM 1900 band
Using Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) each of these carriers is divided into eight Time Slots (TS). One TS on a TDMA frame is called a physical channel, i.e. on each duplex pair of carriers there are eight physical channels.
A variety of information is transmitted between the BTS and thMS. The information is grouped into different logical channelsEach logical channel is used for a specific purpose such as paging, call set-up and speech. For example, speech is sent on the logical channel Traffic CHannel (TCH). The logical channels are mapped onto the physical channels.
The information in this chapter does not include channels specific for GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). For basic information on GPRS see chapter 14 of this documentation.

Transmission management in BSS is a feature used in managing the Base Station Subsystem transmission system functions such as supervision, alarms, statistics
and settings. The network element mainly responsible for transmission management in BSS is the Base Station Controller (BSC).
Transmission management functionalities make it possible for the operators to manage the transmission equipment remotely from the BSC or from Nokia
NetAct integrated network management system, which simplifies network maintenance and operation. Supervision functions help minimise the time spent in maintenance, and statistics collection helps the operators analyse and optimise
the use of their transmission equipment. Moreover, new software can be downloaded in a way that does not interfere with the traffic.
Hardware and software requirements BSS transmission network elements
BSS transmission management functionalities Transmission parameters Transmission alarms
Transmission measurements
2.Hardware and software requirements
There are no specific hardware or software requirements for the transmission management functionalities. However, the type of the BTS poses certain
limitations.
The BTS type specific functionalities are listed in the table below.
More details about the functionalities can be found in BSS transmission management functionalities .
Polling list sending with priority is a functionality used in positioning. To ensure accurate positioning calculations, the LMU unit must supply Radio Interface Timing System (RIT) information to the network faster than the normal Q1 polling is able to do. Faster LMU polling is achieved by defining a Q1 polling
priority for each Q1 device, with the LMU having the highest priority. For more information see Location Services .
3.BSS transmission network elements
The base Station Subsystem (BSS) consists of at least one Base Station Controller (BSC) and its Base Transceiver Stations (BTS). The Transcoder Submultiplexer
(TCSM) is also part of the BSS although it is actually located in the MSC site. The three basic configurations (topologies) for transmission between the BSC and
the BTSs are: point-to-point connection
multidrop chain multidrop loop
In point-to-point configuration each BTS is connected directly to the BSC. In the multidrop chain, BTSs form a chain and the first BTS in the network is connected directly to the BSC. In the loop connection, the BTSs form a loop where the first and the last BTS in the loop are connected directly to the BSC via a crossconnecting node. The topology used depends on a number of factors such as the distance between the BSC and the BTS, the number of transceivers (TRXs) used at a particular BTS site and the signalling channel rate between the BSC and the\ BTS. Usually the topology used is a mixture of the three basic topologies. Formore information on the topologies, refer to Nokia BSS Transmission\Configuration .

When the conducting cable carries the alternating current, the electromagnetic wave radiation can be formed.
If two conducting cables are close, the directions of their current are opposite, and the electromotive force is counteracted. Thus the radiation becomes week.
If two conducting cables are open, the directions of their current are the same. Thus the radiation becomes strong.
When the length of the conducting cable is like the wavelength, the current on the cable will be enhanced. Thus the radiation becomes strong.
The straight conducting cable which can generate the strong radiation is called the dipole.
The pole whose two arms are of the same length (1/4 Wavelength) is called as dipole or half-wave-length dipole.

This document provides an overview of telecom concepts and GSM technology. It discusses early analog cellular systems, the development of GSM standards to address limitations in analog networks, and key aspects of GSM including frequency reuse, handovers, and network architecture. The document also covers cellular concepts like frequency bands, modulation techniques, and components of the mobile station and subscriber identity module.
This document discusses frequency reuse in cellular networks. It describes the frequency bands used in GSM900 and GSM1800 standards. Common frequency reuse patterns include "4 3", "3 3", and dual frequency reuse. Frequency reuse allows the same frequencies to be used in different cells by ensuring sufficient distance between those cells. The document also provides equations to calculate frequency reuse distance based on cell radius and reuse factor.
