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

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

AMPS Identification Numbers Serial number (Electronic Serial Number [ESN])
Used for each MS transmitter in service in the cellular system
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
Mobile Identification Number (MIN)
Digital representation of MSs 10-digit directory telephone number

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.

Handover (Handoff)
A connection is changed between two cells that
are in different MSC areas.
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.
