Frequency Division Multiple
Access
when the subscriber entersanother cell a uni?ue %re?uencyis assigned to him( used inanalog systems
Time Division Multiple
Access
each subscriber is assigned atime slot to sendDreceive a databurst( is used in digital systems
Code Division Multiple

a cell and it connects the subscribers to the cellularnetwork( %or transmissionDrece$tion o% in%ormation it
uses several antennas s$read across the cell 0.C &0asic .tation Controller' – it is an inter%ace
between 0T.s and it is linked to 0T.s by cable ormicrowave links( it routes calls between 0T.s( it isalso connected to the M.C
M.C &Mobile .witching Center' – the coordinator o%a cellular network, it is connected to several 0.Cs,it routes calls between 0.Cs( links the cellularnetwork with other networks like .TN through #ber

receiver
antenna, usually located inside the $hone
control circuitry – %ormats the data sent to and %romthe 0T.( controls signal transmission and rece$tion

.etting u$ a call $rocess when $owered on, the $hone does not have a%re?uencyD time slotDode assigned to it yet( so itscans %or the control channel o% the 0T. and $icksthe strongest signal
then it sends a message &including its identi#cationnumber' to the 0T. to indicate its $resence
the 0T. sends an acknowledgement message backto the cell $hone
the $hone then registers with the 0T. and in%ormsthe 0T. o% its e9act location
a%ter the $hone is registered to the 0T., the 0T.assigns a channel to the $hone and the $hone is
ready to receive or make calls

Making a call $rocess the subscriber dials the receiver4s number and
sends it to the 0T.
the 0T. sends to its 0.C the >8, location and
number o% the caller and also the number o% thereceiver
the 0.C %orwards this in%ormation to its M.C
the M.C routes the call to the receiver4s M.C
which is then sent to the receiver4s 0.C and thento its 0T.
the communication with the receiver4s cell $honeis established

=eceiving a call $rocess when the receiver4 $hone is in an idle state it
listens %or the control channel o% its 0T.
i% there is an incoming call the 0.C and 0T. sends
a message to the cells in the area where thereceiver4s $hone is located
the $hone monitors its message and com$aresthe number %rom the message with its own
i% the numbers matches the cell $hone sends anacknowledgement to the 0T.
