CH 2 GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • In this chapter we will see : • GSM NETWORK ARCHITECTURE • The Radio Subsystem • The Network Switching Subsystem • The Operation and maintenance Subsystem • Geographic network areas
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • GSM NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE -The Mobile station(MS) Monitoring power & quality of its BTS
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • -The Mobile station(MS) • 1- Mobile equipment (ME) • it is the terminal used by user • Can be purchased from any store • Without SIM no calls can be made • It has an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE 2- Subscriber identity module (SIM) An electronic microchip for storing information
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • -The base station subsystem (BSS) • 1- The Base Transceiver station(BTS) • it contains the RF transmission equipment • Each cell has one BTS • Each BTS consists of one or more transceiver • It has an International cell global Identity (CGI) • It has Base station identity code (BSIC) • It performs channel coding, ciphering and modulation
Different elements of RBS or BTS • DXU: Distribution Switch Unit • TRU: Transceiver unit • CDU: Combining and Distribution Unit • ECU: Energy Control Unit ECU contains PSU,BFU, AC connection unit PSU: Power Supply Unit BFU : Battery Fuse Unit
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • 2- The base station controller (BSC) • -It carries out all control functions in the BSS as: • Paging • Channel allocation • Dynamic power control • Handover • Frequency hopping
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • The base station controller (BSC) Remote BTS BTS BTS BSC Co-located BTS
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • 3- The transcoding and rate adaptation unit (TRAU) • It is used for speech compression/decompression • Also adaptation of data to the requirement of the air interface 64 16 64 13 MSC 16 BSC VLR 64 16V 16 16 16 16 64 16

GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • - The Mobile service switching center (MSC) • -It is an electronic computerized exchange provides the interface between MS and the fixed network • -It will not contain any subscriber parameters • Charging • Switching and call routing • Communication with HLR and VLR • Communication with other MSCs • Control of connected BSCs
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • The MSC is connected to: • HLR (Home location register) • VLR (Visitor location register) • AUC (Authentication register) • EIR (Equipment identity register)
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • HLR (Home location register) • The centralized database that stores and manages • all mobile subscription parameters • HLR contains : • Subscriber identification numbers (IMSI,MSISDN) • Subscriber current location information (MSC/VLR) • Subscriber authentication information • Charging • Subscriber type
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • 2. VLR (Visitor location register) • A temporary storage location for subscription • information for MSs which are within MSC service area • VLR contains : • Mobile status (free, busy,…etc) • Temporary MS identity (TMSI) • Temporary MS roaming number (MSRN)
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • Authentication • - It is a processor system that performs the authentication function AUC IMSI Ki Database IMSI,Ki RAND Request for Triplet from HLR,VLR A3 A8 Triplet RAND SERS Kc Triplet
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE • 4. EIR (Equipment identity register) • As the subscriber and equipment are separate in GSM so we • use a separate authentication process for MS equipment • EIR is a centralized database for validation of international • mobile equipment identity (IMEI) • EIR contains 3 lists: • White list (for valid MS equipment) • Black list (for stolen or denied service MS) • Gray list (for mal-performance MS [e.g. faulty software] ) EIR Black list White list Gray list
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE 3-The Operation and maintenance center (OMC):- A-The Operation and Maintenance Center for Radio part (BSS) (OMC-R) B-The Operation and Maintenance Center for switching parts (OMC-S)
GSMNETWORK ARCHITECTURE The Operation and maintenance center (OMC)
