BS BS BS Backbone Network BS BS BS Cellular Concept • Geographical separation • Capacity (frequency) reuse • Backbone connectivity
HLR (home location register) – information MSC (mobile switching center) VLR (visitor location register) – information BS (base station) - modulation, antenna Organization of Cellular Networks
Handoff • Handoff: Transfer of a mobile from one cell to another • Each base station constantly monitors the received power from each mobile • When power drops below given threshold, base station asks neighbor station (with stronger received power) to pick up the mobile, on a new channel • The handoff process takes about 300 ms
To register and make a phone call • When phone is switched on , it scans a preprogrammed list of 21 control channels, to find the most powerful signal • It transmits its ID number on it to the MSC which • informs the local HLR • adds it to VLR and informs the home MSC which informs the HLR • registration is done every 15 min • To make a call, user transmits dest Ph # on random access channel; MSC will assign a data channel • At the same time MSC pages the destination cell for the other party (idle phone listens on all page ch.)
How does a call get to the mobile ? • Suppose (310) 643 - 1111 is roaming in the (408) area code • Cell phone registers with the (408) MSC, which adds it to (408) VLR and informs the (310) HLR of the location of the cell phone • A call comes in for (310) 643 – 1111. Then (310) MSC queries its HLR, and directs the call to the (408) MSC • The (408) MSC forwards the call to the mobile
Cellular Wireless Network Evolution • First Generation: Analog voice • AMPS: Advance Mobile Phone Systems • Residential cordless phones • FDMA • Second Generation: Digital voice • GSM: European Digital Cellular - TDMA • IS-54/136: North American - TDMA • IS-95: CDMA (Qualcomm) • DECT: Digital European Cordless Telephone
Cellular Evolution (cont) • Third Generation: Packet data • will combine the functions of: cellular, cordless, wireless LANs, paging etc. • will support multimedia services (data, voice, video, image) • Requirements • 384 Kbps for full area coverage • 2 Mbps for local area coverage • variable bit rate • packet traffic support • flexibility (eg, multiple, multimedia streams on a single connection)
Cellular Evolution (cont) • Third Generation: Packet data • 2.5 G • GPRS (for GSM) (General Packet Radio Service ) • EDGE (for GSM) (Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution) • 1xRTT (for CDMA) • 3G (W-digital CDMA) • IMT-2000/UMTS (International Mobile Telecommunications) (Universal Mobile Transport Service) • CDMA 2000, WCDMA, TD-CDMA, TD-SCDMA • 3+G, 4G systems • OFDM, Software radio, Array antennas • WiMAX

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) • unique “code” assigned to each user; i.e., code set partitioning • all users share same frequency, but each user has own “chipping” sequence (i.e., code) to encode data • Note: chipping rate >> data rate (eg, 64 chips per data bit) • encoded signal = (original data bit) X (chipping sequence) • decoding:inner-product of encoded signal and chipping sequence • allows multiple users to “coexist” and transmit simultaneously with minimal interference (if codes are “orthogonal”)

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access): IS-95 QUALCOMM, San Diego • Based on DS spread spectrum • Two frequency bands (1.23 Mhz), one for forward channel (cell-site to subscriber) and one for reverse channel (sub to cell-site) • CDMA allows reuse of same spectrum over all cells. Net capacity improvement: • 4 to 6 over digital TDMA (eg. GSM) • 20 over analog FM/FDMA (AMPS)
CDMA (cont’d) • One of 64 PS (Pseudo Random) codes assigned to subscriber at call set up time • RAKE receiver (to overcome multi path-fading) • Pilot tone inserted in forward link for: • power control • coherent reference • Speech activity detection • Voice compression to 8 kbps (16 kbps with FEC) • IS-95: 20 wideband channels, BW=1.25 MHz
