TDMA time Concept: channel is composed of a series of timeslots of periodicity. Different signal energies are distributed into different timeslots. The adjacent channel interference is restricted by connection choosing from time to time. So the useful signal is passed only in the specified timeslot. User 3 User 2 User 1 Frequency GSM adopts TDMA/FDMA mode channel width: 200KHz each channel has 8 timeslots Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005

Cell Mode Layout Omni-directional cell Adopt omni-directional antenna, the overall directional propagation characteristic is the same. Directional cell In general, cell with multi-sector is in common use. Every directional cell adopts directional antenna. Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
BTS Mode • Capacity • When the traffic is very low, and no possibility for quick increment, Omni-directional cell is used in common. Otherwise, we suggest to adopt the sector cell. • Note: TRX-transceiver,each TRX handles 1 frequency. • Coverage Area • Sector cell is often used to enlarge the cell coverage radius because of the higher antenna gain. • For special coverage ,such as road coverage, two-sector cell is adopted firstly. Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
System capacity Erlang : the traffic intensity of a totally occupied channel (i.e. the call hour of a unit hour or the call minute of a unit minute). For example, the traffic of a channel occupied for 30 minutes in an hour is 0.5 Erlang) GOS: defined as the probability of call blocking or the probability when the call delay time is longer than a given queuing time.

Reasons for Interference The transmission path is very complex, ranging from the simple line-of-sight transmission to encountering such terrain as buildings, hills and trees. Wireless channels are extremely unpredictable. Abrupt drop, or fading, of signal strength in the land mobile wireless channel is quite common. The fading feature of the mobile channel depends on the radio wave propagation environment. Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
Reasons for interference • Environmental factors: • Terrain (mountains, hills, plains, water bodies, etc.); • The quantity, heights, distribution and materials of buildings; • The vegetation of the region; • Weather conditions; • Natural and artificial electromagnetic noises; • Frequency; • How MS is moved. Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
Interference • Co-Channel Interference • Conception: • the interference among the signals of co- channel cells is called co-channel interference. • Result from : • Frequency reuse • Reduction method: • co-channel cells must physically be spaced at a minimum interval to ensure adequate isolation of transmissions. Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
Interference • Adjacent Channel Interference • Conception: • The signal interference from the frequency adjacent to that of the signal used is called adjacent channel interference. • Reduction method: • accurate filtering and channel allocation (maximizing channel intervals of the cell). Interval of frequency reuse inter-cell interference, such as C/I, C/A Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
Solution -Anti-interference • FH technology • Dynamic power control (DPC) • Discontinuous Transceiving (DTX) • Diversity receiving technique Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
Frequency Hopping Technique Reason: • counteract Rayleigh Fading • scatter interference among multiple calls Types: • Base band frequency hopping keeps the transmission and receiving frequency of each carrier unit unchanged, but merely sends FU transmission data to different carrier units at different FN moments. • radio frequency hopping controls the frequency synthesizer of each transceiver, making it hop according to different schemes in different time slots. Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
TRAU BTS • BTS MS • 480 ms • comfort noise frame Speech frame Discontinuous Speech Transmission (DTX) • Two aims can be achieved by adopting DTX mode: • lower the total interference electric level in the air • save transmitter power. Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
Diversity Reception Technology • The multi-path propagation of radio signals causes • magnitude fading and delay time. • Space Diversity (antenna diversity) • Polarization Diversity • orthogonal polarization diversity. • horizontal polarization and vertical polarization. • Frequency Diversity • The working principle of this technology is that such fading won’t take place on the frequency outside the coherence bandwidth of the channel.

Numbering Arrangement International Mobile Subscriber Identification number (IMSI) • It identifies a unique international universal number of a mobile subscriber, which consists of MCC+MNC+MSIN. • 1) MCC: country code, 460 • 2)MNC: network code, 00 or 01 • 3)MSIN: subscriber identification, H1H2H3H4 9XXXXXX, • H1H2H3H4: subscriber registering place • H1H2: assigned by the P&T Administrative Bureau (operator )to different provinces, to each province • H3H4: assigned by each province/city • the IMSI of user will be written into the SIM card by specific device and software and be stored into the HLR with other user information. Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
Numbering Arrangement Mobile Subscriber ISDN Number(MSISDN) • It is the subscriber number commonly used. China uses the TDMA independent numbering plan: • CC+NDC+ H1H2H3H4 +ABC • CC: country code, 86 • NDC: network code, 135—139, 130 • H1H2H3H4: HLR identification code ABCD: mobile subscriber number inside each HLR Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
Numbering Arrangement International Mobile Equipment Identification code (IMEI) • It will uniquely identify a mobile station. It is a decimal number of 15 digits. Its structure is: • TAC+FAC+SNR+SP • TAC=model ratification code, 6 digits • FAC=factory assembling code, 2 digits • SNR=sequence code, 6 digits • SP=reserved, 1 digit Uke Kurniawan Usman - 2005
