Frequency Reuse and Cells
• A cell site is the tower (mast) with antenna
• A cell is the area covered by the radio
signals from the tower
• The available spectrum is divided into
seven subsets so that a set of seven cells are
using different frequencies
» Frequencies are then re-used without
interference

• Each hexagon represents a cell
(with a tower)
• Total available frequency is
divided into seven for maximum
radio frequency reuse and
minimum interference
• Each cell with the same number
is using the same set of
frequencies

The Antenna
• The cell site mast generally has
three "faces" -- each with
several frequency agile,
directional antennae
» Each face covers approximately
120° of the cell
» Each face uses a different subset
of that cell's assigned frequencies
• Antenna tower is at the center of
the cell

Types of Cell Phone Systems (2)
• Global System for Mobile communication (GSM)
» Digital cell phone network using TDMA
» Used worldwide (originally Groupe Spécial Mobile)
» U.S./Canada GSM phones are not compatible with international
systems
• Cingular Wireless, T-Mobile USA, et al.
• Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (iDEN)
» Proprietary Motorola system, used internationally
• Sprint Nextel (U.S. and other countries), TELUS (Canada), et al.
» Employs TDMA for two-way voice and walkie-talkie modes
•
Note: Bolded abbreviations above represent the common (although sometimes
technically incorrect) usage!

Definitions...
• Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)
» Each call is on a different frequency
• Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
» Multiple calls are each assigned time on a shared
frequency
• Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
» Calls are assigned a code and hop through the
given set of frequencies (spread spectrum)

Numbers: ESN & MIN
• Electronic Serial Number (ESN)
»
»
»
»
»
Unique 32-bit code identifying the telephone
Burned in by manufacturer
Usually printed on label in hex and/or decimal
Sent by phone to carrier whenever call is made
Not used in GSM phones
• Mobile Identification Number (MIN)
» Cell phone number
» Non-GSM
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler
12
Numbers: MEID
• Mobile Equipment Identification (MEID)
» 32-bit ESNs have been used since mid-1980s
and continued to be used for backwardcompatibility
» Exhaustion of ESN space expected by 2007
» MEID is 56-bit serial number, intended to
replace ESN (non-GSM)
• Somewhat problematic since no carrier yet supports
MEIDs....
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler

7
Numbers: IMEI (1)
• International Mobile Equipment Identity
» Unique 15-digit number to identify GSM handset;
generally on label on back of phone
• Basis of an LE request for "handset history"
» Old format (phones manufactured before 1 April 2004):
aabbbbb-cc-dddddd-e
• Type Approval Code (TAC): aabbbb
– (aa = country code)
• Final Assembly Code (FAC): cc
– Device manufacturer (e.g., Nokia = 10 or 20; Motorola = 07 or 40)
• Device Serial Number (SNR): dddddd
• Check digit: e
– Usually set to 0
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler
14
Numbers: IMEI (2)
• IMEI (cont.)
» New format (phones manufactured since 1 April 2004):
xxxxxxxx-dddddd-e
• Type Allocation Code (TAC): xxxxxxxx
• Device Serial Number (SNR): dddddd
• Check digit: e
– Set to 0 in GSM Phase 1 phones
• IMEI is stored in Equipment Identity Register
» Can usually be displayed by dialing *#06#
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler

IMSI
• International Mobile Subscriber Identity
» Unique 15-digit code that identifies individual user of a
GSM network
• Mobile Country Code (MCC) - 3 digits
• Mobile Network Code (MNC) - 2 digits (3 in U.S./Canada)
• Mobile Subscriber Identity Number (MSIN) - 10 digits (9 in
U.S./Canada)
» Examples (MCC-MNC):
•

PINs and PUKs
• Personal Identity Number (PIN)
» 4-8 digit code to secure phone from
unauthorized use (PIN) or secure priority
memory (PIN2)
• If PIN/PIN2 is entered incorrectly three
times, the phone is locked
» Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) and PUK2 are
used to unlock the PIN/PIN2

18
Types of Cellular Phones
• Cell phone models are specific to signaling
method and, in some cases, to carrier
» Can support just about any combination of
AMPS, TDMA, CDMA, and/or GSM
• Multiband: Ability to operate on different frequencies
• Multimode: Ability to employ different technologies
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler
19
10
System Identification (SID)
• Phones typically have a SID code burned in
at service activation
» 5-digit number assigned by FCC to identify
carrier
» One way for service to identify in-net calls
from roamers
» An unlock code is needed to allow the phone to
be switched to a different carrier
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler
20
Subscriber Identification Module
• SIM gives a phone a unique identity
» Has onboard microprocessor
» Contains phone number, PIN(s), IMSI, text messages,
handset identifier, and saved phone numbers
• Found in GSM and Nextel/iDEN phones
» Allows for portability between carriers and/or countries
» GSM and iDEN phones are incompatible but the SIMs
are interchangeable
• Requires specialized reader
• LE note: An individual might possess multiple SIMs
for the purpose of having multiple telephone identities
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler

Call Setup (Simplified!)
• When placing a call...
» Phone sends MIN/phone number, ESN/IMEI, and called
number
» MTSO verifies MIN/ESN, connects to called party or
forwards to PSTN, and assigns transmit/receive
frequencies
• When receiving a call
» MTSO examines database to find phone's tower, connects
to phone, and assigns frequency pair
» Phone sees calling number
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler
23
12
Cell Phone Billing Records
• Call data from a cellular service provider for a given
customer will include:
»
»
»
»
»
Date/time of call origination and termination
Called and calling party
Duration of call
Type of call (inbound, outbound, VMS access)
Originating and terminating tower
• Usually in form of the name of the tower
• Note that it is also possible to track a person in real time,
tower to tower even if they are not on a call
» This is due to the phone's normal communication with the towers
• Tower data is not kept on the phone itself
» Although it might be in the future, at least for the call period
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler
24
Information Requests
• Cellular telephone companies respond to the
same 2703 preservation letters as other
providers
» Identify user by name and SSN
• Think "Scott Peterson"
» Try to limit the data/time range of the logs

When All Else Fails
• If you can't find a cable that works or you can't
acquire the information that you need with the
software, use a still and/or video camera
» For better pictures, try tilting the camera slightly so that
you are not at a 90° angle
» Get manual so that you know what buttons to push to
display the data of interest
» A dry run may not be a bad idea...
» Turn off microphone if using video!!

Blocking Incoming Calls
• Analysis must be done on a phone that is powered
ON...
» But it is essential that phone not receive any calls, text
messages, or other communication
• Stand-alone/airplane mode
• Block incoming signals with:
» Faraday cage, Faraday room
» "Faraday box" (homegrown)
» Cell phone signal disrupter
• Devices have range of 5-10 m (17-33')
• Not illegal to possess but against FCC regulations to use
http://www.globalgadgetuk.com/Personal.htm
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler
46
Cell Phone Analysis
• Need to obtain phone's identifying information
» E.g., Manufacturer and model number, ESN/IMEI,
serial number, and anything else
» If phone is ON, do the analysis first and get identifying
phone information second, if possible
» If phone is OFF, pop the battery to get info from label
and then do the analysis
• In either case, verify information on label with
information stored in phone
© 2006, Gary C. Kessler
47
24
A Few General Notes
• GSM phones will have a SIM, as will some non-GSM
phones
» If there's no SIM, probably not GSM
• Phone needs to be powered ON prior to starting acquisition
software
» Generally doesn't matter whether ON or OFF prior to actually
plugging it in
• If plugging into a serial cable, may need to reboot computer
• Non-volatile RAM
» Phone number usually located in NVRAM register 0
» PIN (4 digits) is usually located in NVRAM register 2
• Usually around offset 0x60-0x7F near a 6-digit programming code and
another 6-digit security code
