Frequency Reuse Interference 39 Adjacent channel interference Co-channel interference
Adjacent Channel interference 39 • Interference resulting from signals which are adjacent in frequencies to the desired signal (Adjacent frequencies are those shifted by 200 KHZ from carrier frequency) • Due to imperfect receiver filters that allow nearby frequencies to leak into pass band. • Solution: • Careful filtering and keeping frequency separation between channels in a given cell site as large as possible.
Co-channel interference 39 • Cells that uses the same set of frequencies are called co-channel cells. • Interference between these cells is called co-channel interference. • Solution: • Keep distance between co-channel cells >= reuse distance

Mobile Station (MS) 39 • Mobile Station = + • The Mobile Equipment is said to be a Mobile Station if the Subscriber Identity Module ( SIM Card ) is added to it • The SIM Card contains: • A processor and memory that stores: • The international mobile subscriber Identity (IMSI) • The Authentication and ciphering keys.
SIM CARD 39
International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) 39 • MCC (Mobile Country Code) • International standardized • MNC (Mobile Network Code) • Unique Identification of mobile networks within a country. • MSIN (Mobile Subscriber Identification Number) • Identification of subscriber in his mobile home network.
Mobile Station ISDN Number (MSISDN) 39 CC: Country Code NDC: Network Destination Code SN: Subscriber Number
International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) 39 TAC: Type Approval Code, The first two digits are the code for the country approval. SN: Serial Number.
New TMSI VLR VLR MSC-A MSC-B Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity Number (TMSI) 39 • The TMSI can be allocated to the mobile subscriber in order to be used instead of his IMSI during all radio communications. The purpose is to keep subscriber information confidential on the air interface. • The TMSI is relevant on the local MSC/VLR level only and is changed at certain events or time intervals. Each local operator can define its own TMSI structure.
Mobile Station Roaming Number (MSRN) 39 • Used for call routing to the MS as MSISDN identifies a subscriber but not the current location in network • CC: Country code of the visited network • NDC: National destination Code of the visited network • SN: Subscriber number assigned by the current VLR and is unique in the current mobile network
Security Features 39 Authentication: to secure network against unauthorized access. Ciphering: to protect subscriber data sent over the radio path against eavesdropping. Subscriber identity privacy. Equipment Identity Check: to prevent fraudulent usage of mobile handsets.
Authentication Center 39 Database connected to the HLR that stores authentication parameters(Triplet) and ciphering keys for mobile subscribers. Protect the network against illegal entrance. The Ki never transmitted to mobile through air pass, only a random number is sent.

GSM Non-Speech Services 39 • Examples of non-speech services: • Fax Calls • Data Calls • Short Message Service (SMS) • Conclusion GSM is a telecommunication network rather than a telephony network.

GPRSMobile Classes (Modes) 39 • Class A mode of operation: • It allows a MS to have a circuit switched connection at the same time as it is involved in a package transfer. • Class B mode of operation: • It allows a MS to be attached to both CS and PS but it can not use both services at the same time (Suspend & Resume technique). • Class C mode of operation: • It allows an MS only to be attached to one service at the time. An MS that only supports GPRS and not circuit switched traffic will always work in class C mode of operation.
Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) Nokia SGSN 39 • The SGSN forwards incoming and outgoing IP packets addresses to/from a mobile station that is attached within the SGSN service area. • The SGSN provides • Packet routing and transfer to and from SGSN. • Ciphering and authentication. • Mobility management
Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) 39 • The GGSN provides: • The interface towards the external IP packet networks. • From the external IP network’s point of view, the GGSN acts as a router for the IP addresses of all subscribers served by the GPRS network. • Both the GGSN and the SGSN collect charging information on usage of the GPRS network resources. GGSN
The Co-Located SGSN and GGSN 39 • The SGSN and GGSN functionalities may be combined in the same physical node (network element), or they may reside in different physical nodes.
