Circuit-Switched Systems
 In a circuit-switched system, each traffic channel is
dedicated to a user until its cell is terminated.
 Circuit switching is a methodology of implementing a
telecommunications network in which two network nodes
establish a dedicated communications channel (circuit)
through the network before the nodes may communicate.
 The circuit guarantees the full bandwidth of the channel
and remains connected for the duration of the
communication session. The circuit functions as if the
nodes were physically connected as with an electrical
circuit.

Circuit-Switched Systems: Analog
 Consists of three subsystem
 a mobile unit : A mobile
telephone unit contains a
control unit, a transceiver, and
an antenna system.
 a cell site : provides interface
between the MTSO and the
mobile units. It has a control
unit, radio cabinets, antennas,
a power plant, and data
terminals.
 mobile telephone switching
office (MTSO): The switching
office, the central coordinating
element for all cell sites,
contains the cellular processor
and cellular switch.

Circuit-Switched Systems: Digital (e.g., GSM) (1/3)
 Consists of four
elements: mobile station,
base transceiver station
(BTS), base station
controller (BSC), and
switching subsystems,

GSM Architecture
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET
Circuit-Switched Systems: Digital (e.g., GSM) (2/3)
 MS: consists of two parts, mobile equipment (ME) and
subscriber identify module (SIM). SIM contains all
subscriber-specific data stored on the MS side.
 BTS: Besides having the same function as the analog BTS,
it has the Transcoder/Rate Adapter Unit(TRAU), which
carries out coding and decoding as well as rate adaptation
in case data rate varies.
 BSC: A new element in digital systems that performs the
Radio Resource (RR) management for the cells under its
control. BSC also handles handovers, power management
time and frequency synchronization, and frequency
reallocation among BTSs.

Circuit-Switched Systems: Digital (e.g., GSM) (3/3)
 Switching subsystems:
 MSC: The main function of MSC is to coordinate the setup of calls between MS and
PSTN users.
 VLR (Visitor Location Register): A database of all mobiles roaming in the MSC’s
area of control.
 HLR(Home Location Register):Acentralized database of all subscribers registered
in a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN).
 AUC (Authentication Center): Provides HLR with authentication parameters and
ciphering keys that are used for security purposes.
 EIR (Equipment Identity Register): A database for storing all registered mobile
equipment numbers.
 IWF (Interworking function): Provides the subscriber with data services that can
access data rate and protocol conversion facilities and interfaces with public and
private data networks.
 EC (Echo Canceller): Used on the PSTN side of the MSC for all voice circuits.
 XC (Transcoder): Usually installs in each BTS. But for the cost reason, it can be
installed in BSC or MSC.
 OMC(Operational and Maintenance Center): This function resided in analog MSC
but became a separated entity in digital systems.

Packet-Switched Systems: (2.5G+ e.g., UMTS)
 Packet switching is a digital networking communications method that
groups all transmitted data – regardless of content, type, or structure –
into suitably sized blocks, called packets
 delivery of variable bitrate data streams (sequences of packets) over a shared
network which allocates transmission resources as needed using statistical
multiplexing or dynamic bandwidth allocation techniques

Packet-Switched Systems: (2.5G+ e.g., UMTS)
 There are six elements: MS, Node B, RNC, SGSN, GGSN, and GF
 MS: Provides the voice and packet data services. It is also called UE
(User Equipment).
 Node B: The name for base station in GSM.
 RNC (Radio Network Controller): Controls the radio resources of the
Node Bs that are connected to it. Its function is similar to BSC. A
device PCU (Packet Control Unit) converts the data stream into packet
format
 SGSN (Service GPRS Support Node): Analogous to MSC/VLR in the
circuit-switched system. This includes mobility management, security,
and access control functions. It interfaces to HLR.
 GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node): The point of interface with
external packet data networks such as the Internet.
 CGF (Changing Gateway Function): Mainly for billing

 the eNodeB supports a set of legacy features, all related to physical
layer procedures for transmission and reception over the radio
interface
 Modulation and de-modulation
 Channel coding and de-coding
 Radio Resource Control: this relates to the allocation, modification
and release of resources for the transmission over the radio
interface between the user terminal and the eNodeB

Evolved Packet Core (EPC)
 The MME (Mobility Management Entity)
 Security procedures
 Terminal-to-network session handling
 Idle terminal location management
 The HSS (Home Subscriber Server)
is the concatenation of the HLR (Home Location Register) of GSM

Evolved Packet Core (EPC)
The Serving Gateway
the Serving GW is the termination point of the packet data interface
towards E-UTRAN
When terminals move across eNodeB in E-UTRAN, the Serving GW
serves as a local mobility anchor, meaning that packets are routed
through this point for intra E-UTRAN mobility and mobility with
other 3GPP technologies, such as 2G/GSM and 3G/UMTS.
The PDN (Packet Data Network) Gateway
anchor point for sessions towards the external Packet Data
Networks, the PDN GW also supports Policy Enforcement features
The PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function) Server
The Policy Decision Function (PDF)
The Charging Rules Function (CRF)

LTE vs UMTS
 Functional changes compared to the current UMTS
architecture
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET
The Multiple Access Problem
 The base stations need to serve many mobile terminals at
the same time (both downlink and uplink)
 All mobiles in the cell need to transmit to the base station
 Interference among different senders and receivers
 So we need multiple access scheme
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET
 Multiple Access:
 Enable many mobile users to share simultaneously radio spectrum.
 Provide for the sharing of channel capacity between a number of
transmitters at different locations.
 Aim to share a channel between two or more signals in such way
that each signal can be received without interference from another.

Multiple Access Schemes
3 orthogonal Schemes:
• Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)
• Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
• Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET
Frequency Division Multiple Access
frequency
 Each mobile is assigned a separate frequency channel for the
duration of the call
 Sufficient guard band is required to prevent adjacent channel
interference
 Usually, mobile terminals will have one downlink frequency
band and one uplink frequency band
 Different cellular network protocols use different frequencies
 Frequency is a precious and scare resource. We are running out
of it
 Cognitive radio

FDMA
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET
23
Features of FDMA
 If an FDMA channel is not in sue, then it sits idle and can’t
be used by other users.
 Transmit simultaneously and continuously.
 FDMA is usually implemented in narrowband systems.
 Its symbol time is large as compared to the average delay spread.
 For continuous transmission, fewer bits are needed for
overhead purposes (such as synchronization and framing
bits) as compared to TDMA.
 FDMA uses duplexers since both TX and RX operate at the
same time.
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET
24
Time Division Multiple Access
Guard time – signal transmitted by mobile
terminals at different locations do no arrive
at the base station at the same time
• Time is divided into slots and only one mobile terminal transmits
during each slot
– Like during the lecture, only one can talk, but others may take the floor in turn
• Each user is given a specific slot. No competition in cellular network
– Unlike Carrier Sensing Multiple Access (CSMA) in WiFi
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET
TDMA
 Transmitter share a common channel.
 Only one transmitter is allowed to transmit at a time.
 Synchronous TDMA: access to the channel is restricted to regular.
 Asynchronous TDMA: a station may transmit at any time that the
channel is free.
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET
26
Features of TDMA
 TDMA systems divide the radio spectrum into time slots.
 Each user occupies a cyclically repeating time slot.
 Transmit data in a buffer-and-burst method, thus the
transmission for any user is not continuous.
 TDMA has TDD and FDD modes
 Share a single carrier frequency with several users.
 Data transmission is not continuous, but occurs in bursts.
 No duplexers is required since users employ different time
slots for transmission and reception.
 TDMA can allocate different numbers of time slots per
frame to different users, allowing bandwidth be supplied
on demand to different users

Combined used of synchronous TDMA and
FDMA

28
Code Division Multiple Access
 Use of orthogonal codes to separate different transmissions
 Each symbol of bit is transmitted as a larger number of
bits using the user specific code – Spreading
 Bandwidth occupied by the signal is much larger than the
information transmission rate
 But all users use the same frequency band together
Orthogonal among users

31
Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing(OFDM
 It is a special kind of FDM
 The spacing between carriers
are such that they are
orthogonal to one another
 Therefore no need of guard
band between carriers.
 Each terminal occupies a subset
of sub-carriers
 Subset is called an OFDMA
traffic channel
 Each traffic channel is assigned
exclusively to one user at any
time

32
Advantages of OFDMA
 Multi-user Diversity
 broadband signals experience frequency selective fading
 OFDMA allows different users to transmit over different portions
of the broadband spectrum (traffic channel)
 Different users perceive different channel qualities, a deep faded
channel for one user may still be favorable to others

Why Mobility Management is Needed?
 Moving entity?
 Mobile terminal
 Mobile user
 Mobile network
 Moving scope?
 Intra/Inter-domain, Micro/Macro-mobility
 Horizontal, Vertical
 Active session?
 Location management (for Paging)
 Handoff (Session mobility)
 More network coverage in same area
 Cost
 QoS
 Reliability
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET
Handoff Management Requirements
 Reduction of signaling and processing overhead
 Minimize packet loss and delay (seamless HO)
 QoS guarantees during the process and transfer of
context
 Use of any “triggers” or metrics available to decide when
and where (planned HO)
 Efficient use of network and MT resources
 Enhanced scalability, reliability and robustness
 Allow inter-technology handoff (VHO)
Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, KUET
Soft Handoff Process
 MS continually scan for pilot signals from neighbor cells
 When a pilot from a neighbor cell crosses a threshold, MS requests a
handoff
 BS commands MS to perform handoff
