    Design Goals of AMPS

    The very first cellular phone technology Conceived by Bell Labs

    High voice quality (near wire line)

    Small coverage area (cell radius: 1-16 miles)

    Large cells thermal noise limited and small cells interference limited

    Frequency reuse planned in system design

    666 channels (later increased to 832 channels)

    Large trunk mounted unit (now very small under dash units)

    Low power mobile (handheld) transmitters (4 watts or less)

    Medium power base stations (10s of watts)

    Low blocking (2%) during busy hour Immediate service (1-5 business days; now 1-5 hours)

    System capacity for 100,000 or more customers per city

    Mobile (handheld) can place and receive calls

    Characteristics of AMPS

    Frequency range (45 MHz separation):

    824 MHz ~ 849 MHz for mobile transmit 869 MHz ~ 894 MHz for base transmit

    3 KHz analog voice channels modulated on to 30 KHz

    channels FM (frequency modulation) for voice

    MFM (Manchester frequency modulation) at 10 kbps for data

    Control channels

    Voice channels

    AMPS Frequency Allocation

    Band A

    Transmit: 824 MHz ~ 835 MHz and 845 MHz ~ 849 MHz Receive: 869 MHz ~ 880 MHz and 890 MHz ~ 891.5 MHz

    Band B

    Transmit: 835 MHz ~ 845 MHz and 846.5 MHz ~ 849 MHz Receive: 880 MHz ~ 890 MHz and 891.5 MHz ~ 894 MHz

    312 usable RF pairs divided by 7 (the reuse factor)= roughly 45 channel pairs per cell

    32 bit binary number that uniquely identifies a cellular unit numberestablished by the manufacture at the factory

    Should not be easily alterable

    System Identification Number (SID)

    15 bit binary numbers assigned to cellular systems

    MS in the cell must transmit the SID

    FCC assigns one SID to each cellular system

    Systems may transmit only their assigned SIDs or other SIDs, ifthe other SID user permits

    Forward and Reverse Channels

    The busy/idle stream indicates the

    current status of the RECC.

    Stream A and B are identified with

    the least significant bit (LSB) of the

    MSs MIN, where a 0 signifies

    stream A and a 1 signifies stream B.

    Functionalities of Constituents of GSM

    Base Station Controller (BSC): looks over a certain number of BTS

    to ensure proper operation, takes care of Handoff between BTSs.

    Mobile Switching Center (MSC): Mainly performs the switching by

    controlling calls to and from other telephone/data systems. Also,

    performs functions such as network interfacing, common channel

    signaling, etc.

    Authentication Center (AC): AC unit provides authentication and

    encryption parameters that verify the user's identity and ensure the

    confidentiality of each call

    Equipment Identity Register (EIR): EIR is a database that containsinformation about the identity of mobile equipment that prevents calls

    from stolen, unauthorized, or defective MSs.

    Control Channels of GSM

    Control Channels used to Broadcast Information to all MSs. Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH): Used to transmit the system

    parameters like the frequency of operation in the cell, operator identifiers,

    etc.,

    Frequency Correction Channel (FCCH): Used for transmission offrequency references and frequency correction bursts

    Synchronization Channel (SCH): Used to provide the synchronization

    training sequences burst of 64 bits length to the MSs.

    Control Channels used to establish link between MS and BS Random Access Channel (RACH): Used by the MS to transmit

    information regarding the requested dedicated channel from GSM.

    Paging Channel: Used by the BS to communicate with individual MS inthe cell.

    Access Grant Channel: Used by the BS to send information about timingand synchronization.

    Control Channels of GSM

    Dedicated Control Channels used to serve for any control

    information transmission during the actual communication

    Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH): Allocated along with a

    user channel, for transmission of control information during the actual

    transmission.

    Stand-alone dedicated Control Channel: Allocated with SACCH, used

    for transfer of signaling information between the BS and the MS.

    Fast Associated Control Channel (FACCH):Not a dedicated channelbut carries the same information as SDCCH. But, it is a part of Traffic

    channel while SDCCH is a part of control channel

    International Mobile Subscriber Identity

    (IMSI)

    Each mobile unit is identified uniquely with a set of values.

    These values are used to identify the country in which the

    mobile system resides, the mobile network, and the mobilesubscriber.

    The remainder of the IMSI is made up of the mobile

    subscriber identification code (MSIC), which is the customeridentification number.

    The IMSI is also used for an MSC/VLR to find out the

    subscribers home PLMN (Public land mobile network).

    The IMSI is stored on the subscriber identity module (SIM),

    which is located in the subscribers mobile unit.

    Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)

    SIM contains subscriber-specific information such as:

    Phone numbers,

    Personal identification number (PIN),

    Security/Authentication parameters.

    SIM can also be used to store short message.

    SIM can be a small plug-in module that is placed(somewhat permanently) in the mobile unit, or it can be a

    card (like a credit card).

    A modular portable SIM allows a user to use different

    terminal sets.

    SIM supports roaming.

    Inter-MSC

    A connection is changed between two cells that

    are served by different BSCs but operate in the

    area of the same MSC.

    Inter-BSC / Intra-MSC

    In this case there is a change in radio channelbetween two cells that are served by the same

    BSC.

    Inter-cell / Intra-BSC

    The channel for the connection is changed within

    the cell, e.g., if the channel has a high level ofinterference. The change can apply to another

    frequency of the same cell or to another time slot

    of the same frequency.
