A cell site or cell tower is a cellular telephone site where antennae and electronic communications
equipment are placed, usually on a radio mast, tower or other high place, to create a cell (or
adjacent cells) in a cellular network. The elevated structure typically supports antennae, and one or
more sets of transmitter/receivers transceivers, digital signal processors, control electronics, a GPS
receiver for timing (for CDMA2000/IS-95 or GSM systems), primary and backup electrical
powersources, and sheltering.[1][third-party source needed]
In Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) networks, the correct term is Base Transceiver
Station (BTS), and colloquial synonyms are "mobile phone mast" or "base station". The term "base
station site" might better reflect the increasing co-location of multiple mobile operators, and therefore
multiple base stations, at a single site. Depending on an operator's technology, even a site hosting
just a single mobile operator may house multiple base stations, each to serve a different air interface
technology (CDMA2000 or GSM, for example).
Some cities require that cell sites be inconspicuous, for example blended with the surrounding area,
[2]
for example mounted on buildings[3] or advertising towers.[citation needed] Preserved treescapes can often
hide cell towers inside an artificial tree or preserved tree. These installations are generally referred to
as concealed cell sites or stealth cell sites.

Operation[edit]
Range[edit]
The working range of a cell site (the range which mobile devices connects reliably to the cell site) is
not a fixed figure. It will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
Height of antenna over surrounding terrain (Line-of-sight propagation).
The frequency of signal in use.
Timing limitations in some technologies (e.g., GSM is limited to 35 km, with 70 km being
possible with special equipment)
The transmitter's rated power.
The required uplink/downlink data rate of the subscriber's device
The directional characteristics of the site antenna array.
Reflection and absorption of radio energy by buildings or vegetation.
It may also be limited by local geographical or regulatory factors and weather conditions.
[4]
Generally, in areas where there are enough cell sites to cover a wide area, the range of each one
will be set to:
Ensure there is enough overlap for "handover" to/from other sites (moving the signal for a
mobile device from one cell site to another, for those technologies that can handle it - e.g.
making a GSM phone call while in a car or train).
Ensure that the overlap area is not too large, to minimize interference problems with other
sites.
In practice, cell sites are grouped in areas of high population density, with the most potential users.
Cell phone traffic through a single site is limited by the base station's capacity; there is a finite
number of calls or data traffic that a base station can handle at once. This limitation is another factor
affecting the spacing of cell mast sites. In suburban areas, masts are commonly spaced 12 miles
(23 km) apart and in dense urban areas, masts may be as close as - mile (400800 m) apart.
The maximum range of a mast (where it is not limited by interference with other masts nearby)
depends on the same circumstances. Some technologies, such as GSM, normally have a fixed
maximum range of 35 kilometres (22 mi), which is imposed by technical limitations. CDMA
and IDEN have no built-in limit, but the limiting factor is the ability of a low-powered personal cell
phone to transmit back to the mast. As a rough guide, based on a tall mast and flat terrain, it is
possible to get between 50 and 70 km (3045 miles). When the terrain is hilly, the maximum
distance can vary from as little as 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) due to encroachment
of intermediate objects into the wide center fresnel zone of the signal.[5] Depending on terrain and
other circumstances, a GSM Tower can replace between 2 and 50 miles (80 km) of cabling for fixed
wireless networks.[6]
Channel reuse[edit]
The concept of "maximum" range is misleading, however, in a cellular network. Cellular networks are
designed to support many conversations with a limited number of radio channels (slices of radio
frequency spectrum necessary to make one conversation) that are licensed to an operator of a
cellular service. To overcome this limitation, it is necessary to repeat and reuse the same channels at
different locations. Just as a car radio changes from one local station to a completely different local
station with the same frequency when you travel to another city, the same radio channel gets reused
on a cell mast only a few miles away. To do this, the signal of a cell mast is intentionally kept at low
power and in many cases tilted downward to limit its reach. This allows covering an area small
enough not to have to support more conversations than the available channels can carry. Due to the
sectorized arrangement of antennas on a tower, it is possible to vary the strength and angle for each
sector depending on the coverage from other towers in the area.
Signal limiting factor[edit]

A cellphone may not work at times because it is too far from a mast, or because the phone is in a
location where cell phone signals are attenuated by thick building walls, hills, or other structures. The
signals do not need a clear line of sight but greater radio interference will degrade or eliminate
reception. When many people try to use the cell mast at the same time, e.g. during a traffic jam or a
sports event, then there will be a signal on the phone display but it is blocked from starting a new
connection. The other limiting factor for cell phones is the ability to send a signal from its low
powered battery to the cell site. Some cellphones perform better than others under low power or low
battery, typically due to the ability to send a good signal from the phone to the mast.
The base station controller (a central computer that specializes in making phone connections) and
the intelligence of the cellphone keeps track of and allows the phone to switch from one mast to the
next during conversation. As the user moves towards a mast it picks the strongest signal and
releases the mast from which the signal has become weaker; that channel on that mast becomes
available to another user.

Geolocation[edit]
Cellular geolocation is less precise than by GPS, but it is available to devices that do not have GPS
receivers and where the GPS is not available. The precision of this system varies and is highest
where advanced forward link methods are possible and is lowest where only a single cell site can be
reached, in which case the location is only known to be within the coverage of that site.
An advanced forward link is where a device is within range of at least three cell sites and where the
carrier has implemented timing system use.
Another method is using angle of arrival (AoA) and it occurs when the device is in range of at least
two cell sites, produces intermediate precision. Assisted GPS uses both satellite and cell phone
signals.
In the United States, for emergency calling service using location data (locally called "Enhanced
911"), it was required that at least 95% of cellular phones in use on 31 December 2005 support such
service. Many carriers missed this deadline and were fined by the Federal Communications
Commission.[7]
Radio power and health[edit]

The U.S. government agency, the FCC, says:
"For example, measurement data obtained from various sources have consistently indicated that
"worst-case" ground-level power densities near typical cellular towers are on the order of 1 W/cm2
or less (usually significantly less)." [8]
Further information: Mobile phone radiation and health Health hazards of base stations
Cell phones, cell towers, wi-fi, smart meters, DECT phones, cordless phones, baby monitors and
other wireless devices all emit non ionizing radio frequencies, which the World Health Organization
(WHO) has just classified as a potential carcinogen. It should be noted however that this is classified
as limited evidence available for carcinogenicity, which by definition states "chance, bias or
confounding could not be ruled out with reasonable confidence." [9]
Cindy Sage, co-editor of the Bioinitiative Report writes, " The WHO International Agency for
Research on Cancer has just issued its decision that non-ionizing radiofrequency radiation is
classified as a 2B (Possible) Carcinogen. This is the same category as DDT, lead, and engine
exhaust. This mirrors the 2001 IARC finding that extremely low frequency (ELF-EMF) that classified
as a 2B (Possible) Carcinogen. This pertained to power frequency (power line and appliance) nonionizing radiation. These two findings confirm that non-ionizing radiation should be considered as a
possible risk factor for cancers; and that new, biologically-based public safety standards are urgently
needed. " Dr. Louis Slesin has been reporting on this issue for decades. [10]
Temporary sites[edit]

Although cell antennas are normally attached to permanent structures, carriers also maintain fleets
of vehicles, called cells-on-wheels (COWs), that serve as temporary cell sites. A generator may be
included for use where network electrical power is not available, and the system may have a
wireless backhaul link allowing use where a wired link is not available.
COWs are also used at permanent cell sitesas temporary replacements for damaged equipment,
during planned outages, and to augment capacity such as during conventions.
Employment[edit]
Cell site workers are called tower climbers or transmission tower workers. Transmission tower
workers often work at heights of up to 1,500 feet, performing maintenance and repair work for
cellular phone and other wireless communications companies.
Spy agency setup[edit]

According to documents leaked to Der Spiegel, the NSA sells a $40,000 "active GSM base station"
to be used as a tool to mimic a mobile phone tower and thus monitor cell phones. [11]
In November 2014, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Technical Operations Group of the U.S.
Marshals utilizes spy devices, known as "dirtboxes", to mimic powerful cell tower signals. Such
devices are designed to cause mobile phones to switch over to the tower, as it is the strongest signal
within reach. The devices are placed on airplanes to effectively create a "dragnet", gathering data
about phones as the planes travel above populated areas.[12][13]
Off-grid systems[edit]

An off-grid cell site is not connected to the public electrical grid. Usually the system is off-thegrid because of difficult access or lack of infrastructure.
An off-grid power system for a cellular site.
Fuel cell or other backup power systems are added to critical cell sites to provide emergency power.
More sites use internal-combustion-engine-driven generator sets.[14][15]
However, being less efficient than public power, they increase operating expense and are a source
of pollution (atmospheric, acoustic, etc.) and some are in areas protected by environment and
landscape conservation.
Renewable sources, such as solar power and wind power[16] may be available where cell sites are
placed. They can be backed up by a fuel generator system which allows the cell site to work when
the renewable sources are not enough. One such energy production system consists of:
Solar power generator
Wind generator
Electro-chemical generator fuel cells

Electrical energy from intermittent sources is stored in secondary batteries which are usually
designed to have an average of 5 days of self-sufficiency, to allow time for maintenance personnel to
arrive at site when a repair is needed.
The renewable energy systems supply electrical power when available. The fuel cells are activated
only when the natural sources are not enough to supply the energy the system needs. The
emergency power supply (the fuel cells) is designed to last an average of 10 days. In this way the
structure is completely self-sufficient: this enables the maintenance team to pay only few visits to the
site, since it is usually hard to get to.
Camouflage[edit]
Telestyle: a steel structure decorated with colored glass, in Piazza Matteotti, Treviso, Italy
There is often local opposition to new masts for reasons of safety and appearance. The latter is
sometimes tackled by disguising the mast as something else, such as a flag pole, street lamp, or
a tree (e.g. palm trees, pine trees, cypress..) or rooftop structures or urban features such as
chimneys or panels.
These concealed cell sites can distinguish themselves by foliage shape and bark type. The foliage of
all these antennas is composed of leaves made of plastic material accurately designed, taking into
consideration quantity, shape and array suitable to completely conceal the antennas and all
accessory parts in a natural manner. The materials used guarantee absolute radio-electric
transparency and resistance to UVA rays. Nicknames include "monopalm" for a monopole disguised
as a palm tree or "Pseudopinus telephoneyensis" for a mast disguised as a pine tree. [17] In
monopoles, the directional antennas are sometimes hidden in a plastic housing near the top of the
pole so that the crossbars can be eliminated.
Rooftop structures such as concealment chimneys or panels, 6 to 12 meters high, may conceal one
or more mobile telephone operators on the same station. Roofmask panels can be fixed to existing
rooftop structures, restyling them quickly and cheaply.
Mobile telephone base stations are becoming a contemporary symbol, connected and intertwining
with material and immaterial networks. Telestyles are architecturally blended cell towers, the result of
cooperation with designers and architects.
Miniature[edit]
Researchers at Alcatel-Lucent have developed a cell site called lightRadio that fits in the palm of a
person's hand. It is the size of a Rubik's cube. It is capable of relaying 2G, 3G and 4G signals. They
are more energy efficient and deliver broadband more efficiently than current cell sites. They could
be used in very populated urban areas to make room for more radio space. [18]

A cellular network or mobile network is a communication network where the last link is wireless.
The network is distributed over land areas called cells, each served by at least one fixedlocation transceiver, known as a cell site or base station. This base station provides the cell with the
network coverage which can be used for transmission of voice, data and others. A cell might use a
different set of frequencies from neighboring cells, to avoid interference and provide guaranteed
service quality within each cell.[1]
When joined together these cells provide radio coverage over a wide geographic area. This enables
a large number of portable transceivers (e.g., mobile phones, pagers, etc.) to communicate with
each other and with fixed transceivers and telephones anywhere in the network, via base stations,
even if some of the transceivers are moving through more than one cell during transmission.
Cellular networks offer a number of desirable features:[1]
More capacity than a single large transmitter, since the same frequency can be used for
multiple links as long as they are in different cells
Mobile devices use less power than with a single transmitter or satellite since the cell towers
are closer
Larger coverage area than a single terrestrial transmitter, since additional cell towers can be
added indefinitely and are not limited by the horizon
Major telecommunications providers have deployed voice and data cellular networks over most of
the inhabited land area of the Earth. This allows mobile phones and mobile computing devices to be
connected to the public switched telephone network and public Internet. Private cellular networks
can be used for research[2] or for large organizations and fleets, such as dispatch for local public
safety agencies or a taxicab company.[3]

Concept[edit]
Example of frequency reuse factor or pattern 1/4
In a cellular radio system, a land area to be supplied with radio service is divided into regular shaped
cells, which can be hexagonal, square, circular or some other regular shapes, although hexagonal
cells are conventional. Each of these cells is assigned with multiple frequencies (f1 f6) which have
corresponding radio base stations. The group of frequencies can be reused in other cells, provided
that the same frequencies are not reused in adjacent neighboring cells as that would cause cochannel interference.
The increased capacity in a cellular network, compared with a network with a single transmitter,
comes from the mobile communication switching system developed by Amos Joel of Bell Labs[4] that
permitted multiple callers in the same area to use the same frequency by switching calls made using
the same frequency to the nearest available cellular tower having that frequency available and from
the fact that the same radio frequency can be reused in a different area for a completely different
transmission. If there is a single plain transmitter, only one transmission can be used on any given
frequency. Unfortunately, there is inevitably some level of interference from the signal from the other
cells which use the same frequency. This means that, in a standard FDMA system, there must be at
least a one cell gap between cells which reuse the same frequency.
In the simple case of the taxi company, each radio had a manually operated channel selector knob
to tune to different frequencies. As the drivers moved around, they would change from channel to
channel. The drivers knew which frequencycovered approximately what area. When they did not
receive a signal from the transmitter, they would try other channels until they found one that worked.
The taxi drivers would only speak one at a time, when invited by the base station operator (this is, in
a sense, time division multiple access (TDMA)).
Cell signal encoding[edit]

To distinguish signals from several different transmitters, time division multiple
access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA),
and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) were developed.[1]
With TDMA, the transmitting and receiving time slots used by different users in each cell are different
from each other.
With FDMA, the transmitting and receiving frequencies used by different users in each cell are
different from each other. In a simple taxi system, the taxi driver manually tuned to a frequency of a
chosen cell to obtain a strong signal and to avoid interference from signals from other cells.
The principle of CDMA is more complex, but achieves the same result; the
distributed transceivers can select one cell and listen to it.
Other available methods of multiplexing such as polarization division multiple access (PDMA) cannot
be used to separate signals from one cell to the next since the effects of both vary with position and
this would make signal separation practically impossible. Time division multiple access is used in
combination with either FDMA or CDMA in a number of systems to give multiple channels within the
coverage area of a single cell.
Frequency reuse[edit]
The key characteristic of a cellular network is the ability to re-use frequencies to increase both
coverage and capacity. As described above, adjacent cells must use different frequencies, however
there is no problem with two cells sufficiently far apart operating on the same frequency, provided the
masts and cellular network users' equipment do not transmit with too much power.[1]
The elements that determine frequency reuse are the reuse distance and the reuse factor. The reuse
distance, D is calculated as
,
where R is the cell radius and N is the number of cells per cluster. Cells may vary in radius from
1 to 30 kilometres (0.62 to 18.64 mi). The boundaries of the cells can also overlap between
adjacent cells and large cells can be divided into smaller cells.[5]
The frequency reuse factor is the rate at which the same frequency can be used in the network.
It is 1/K (or K according to some books) where K is the number of cells which cannot use the
same frequencies for transmission. Common values for the frequency reuse factor are 1/3, 1/4,
1/7, 1/9 and 1/12 (or 3, 4, 7, 9 and 12 depending on notation).[6]
In case of N sector antennas on the same base station site, each with different direction, the
base station site can serve N different sectors. N is typically 3. A reuse pattern of N/K denotes a
further division in frequency among N sector antennas per site. Some current and historical
reuse patterns are 3/7 (North American AMPS), 6/4 (Motorola NAMPS), and 3/4 (GSM).
If the total available bandwidth is B, each cell can only use a number of frequency channels
corresponding to a bandwidth of B/K, and each sector can use a bandwidth of B/NK.
Code division multiple access-based systems use a wider frequency band to achieve the same
rate of transmission as FDMA, but this is compensated for by the ability to use a frequency
reuse factor of 1, for example using a reuse pattern of 1/1. In other words, adjacent base station
sites use the same frequencies, and the different base stations and users are separated by
codes rather than frequencies. While N is shown as 1 in this example, that does not mean the
CDMA cell has only one sector, but rather that the entire cell bandwidth is also available to each
sector individually.
Depending on the size of the city, a taxi system may not have any frequency-reuse in its own
city, but certainly in other nearby cities, the same frequency can be used. In a large city, on the
other hand, frequency-reuse could certainly be in use.
Recently also orthogonal frequency-division multiple access based systems such as LTE are
being deployed with a frequency reuse of 1. Since such systems do not spread the signal across
the frequency band, inter-cell radio resource management is important to coordinate resource
allocation between different cell sites and to limit the inter-cell interference. There are various
means of Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) already defined in the standard.

[7]
Coordinated scheduling, multi-site MIMO or multi-site beam forming are other examples for
inter-cell radio resource management that might be standardized in the future.
Directional antennas[edit]
Cellular telephone frequency reuse pattern. See U.S. Patent 4,144,411
Cell towers frequently use a directional signal to improve reception in higher-traffic areas. In the
United States, the FCC limits omnidirectional cell tower signals to 100 watts of power. If the
tower has directional antennas, the FCC allows the cell operator to broadcast up to 500 watts
of effective radiated power (ERP).[8]
Cell phone companies use this directional signal to improve reception along highways and inside
buildings like stadiums and arenas.[8] As a result, a cell phone user may be standing in sight of a
cell tower, but still have trouble getting a good signal because the directional antennas point in a
different direction.[8]
Although the original cell towers created an even, omnidirectional signal, were at the centers of
the cells and were omnidirectional, a cellular map can be redrawn with the cellular telephone
towers located at the corners of the hexagons where three cells converge. [9] Each tower has
three sets of directional antennas aimed in three different directions with 120 degrees for each
cell (totaling 360 degrees) and receiving/transmitting into three different cells at different
frequencies. This provides a minimum of three channels, and three towers for each cell and
greatly increases the chances of receiving a usable signal from at least one direction.
The numbers in the illustration are channel numbers, which repeat every 3 cells. Large cells can
be subdivided into smaller cells for high volume areas. [10]
Broadcast messages and paging[edit]

Practically every cellular system has some kind of broadcast mechanism. This can be used
directly for distributing information to multiple mobiles. Commonly, for example in mobile
telephony systems, the most important use of broadcast information is to set up channels for
one-to-one communication between the mobile transceiver and the base station. This is
called paging. The three different paging procedures generally adopted are sequential, parallel
and selective paging.
The details of the process of paging vary somewhat from network to network, but normally we
know a limited number of cells where the phone is located (this group of cells is called a
Location Area in the GSM or UMTS system, or Routing Area if a data packet session is involved;
in LTE, cells are grouped into Tracking Areas). Paging takes place by sending the broadcast
message to all of those cells. Paging messages can be used for information transfer. This
happens in pagers, in CDMAsystems for sending SMS messages, and in the UMTS system
where it allows for low downlink latency in packet-based connections.
Movement from cell to cell and handing over[edit]

In a primitive taxi system, when the taxi moved away from a first tower and closer to a second
tower, the taxi driver manually switched from one frequency to another as needed. If a
communication was interrupted due to a loss of a signal, the taxi driver asked the base station
operator to repeat the message on a different frequency.
In a cellular system, as the distributed mobile transceivers move from cell to cell during an
ongoing continuous communication, switching from one cell frequency to a different cell
frequency is done electronically without interruption and without a base station operator or
manual switching. This is called the handover or handoff. Typically, a new channel is
automatically selected for the mobile unit on the new base station which will serve it. The mobile
unit then automatically switches from the current channel to the new channel and
communication continues.
The exact details of the mobile system's move from one base station to the other varies
considerably from system to system (see the example below for how a mobile phone network
manages handover).
Mobile phone network[edit]
GSM network architecture
The most common example of a cellular network is a mobile phone (cell phone) network. A
mobile phone is a portable telephone which receives or makes calls through a cell site (base
station), or transmitting tower. Radio waves are used to transfer signals to and from the cell
phone.
Modern mobile phone networks use cells because radio frequencies are a limited, shared
resource. Cell-sites and handsets change frequency under computer control and use low power
transmitters so that the usually limited number of radio frequencies can be simultaneously used
by many callers with less interference.
A cellular network is used by the mobile phone operator to achieve both coverage and capacity
for their subscribers. Large geographic areas are split into smaller cells to avoid line-of-sight
signal loss and to support a large number of active phones in that area. All of the cell sites are
connected to telephone exchanges (or switches), which in turn connect to the public telephone
network.
In cities, each cell site may have a range of up to approximately 12 mile (0.80 km), while in rural
areas, the range could be as much as 5 miles (8.0 km). It is possible that in clear open areas, a
user may receive signals from a cell site 25 miles (40 km) away.
Since almost all mobile phones use cellular technology, including GSM, CDMA,
and AMPS (analog), the term "cell phone" is in some regions, notably the US, used
interchangeably with "mobile phone". However, satellite phones are mobile phones that do not
communicate directly with a ground-based cellular tower, but may do so indirectly by way of a
satellite.
There are a number of different digital cellular technologies, including: Global System for Mobile
Communications (GSM), General Packet Radio
Service (GPRS), cdmaOne, CDMA2000, Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO), Enhanced Data
Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System (UMTS), Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT), Digital AMPS (IS136/TDMA), and Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (iDEN). The transition from existing
analog to the digital standard followed a very different path in Europe and the US. [11] As a
consequence multiple digital standard surfaced in the US, while Europe and many countries
converged towards the GSM standard.
Structure of the mobile phone cellular network[edit]

A simple view of the cellular mobile-radio network consists of the following:
A network of radio base stations forming the base station subsystem.
The core circuit switched network for handling voice calls and text
A packet switched network for handling mobile data
The public switched telephone network to connect subscribers to the wider telephony
network
This network is the foundation of the GSM system network. There are many functions that are
performed by this network in order to make sure customers get the desired service including
mobility management, registration, call set-up, and handover.
Any phone connects to the network via an RBS (Radio Base Station) at a corner of the
corresponding cell which in turn connects to the Mobile switching center (MSC). The MSC
provides a connection to the public switched telephone network(PSTN). The link from a phone to
the RBS is called an uplink while the other way is termed downlink.
Radio channels effectively use the transmission medium through the use of the following
multiplexing and access schemes: frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division
multiple access (TDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), and space division multiple
access (SDMA).
Small cells[edit]
Main article: Small cell
Small cells, which have a smaller coverage area than base stations, are categorised as follows:
Microcell, less than 2 kilometres
Picocell, less than 200 metres
Femtocell, around 10 metres
Cellular handover in mobile phone networks[edit]

Main article: Handover
As the phone user moves from one cell area to another cell while a call is in progress, the
mobile station will search for a new channel to attach to in order not to drop the call. Once a new
channel is found, the network will command the mobile unit to switch to the new channel and at
the same time switch the call onto the new channel.
With CDMA, multiple CDMA handsets share a specific radio channel. The signals are separated
by using a pseudonoisecode (PN code) specific to each phone. As the user moves from one cell
to another, the handset sets up radio links with multiple cell sites (or sectors of the same site)
simultaneously. This is known as "soft handoff" because, unlike with traditional cellular
technology, there is no one defined point where the phone switches to the new cell.
In IS-95 inter-frequency handovers and older analog systems such as NMT it will typically be
impossible to test the target channel directly while communicating. In this case other techniques
have to be used such as pilot beacons in IS-95. This means that there is almost always a brief
break in the communication while searching for the new channel followed by the risk of an
unexpected return to the old channel.
If there is no ongoing communication or the communication can be interrupted, it is possible for
the mobile unit to spontaneously move from one cell to another and then notify the base station
with the strongest signal.
Cellular frequency choice in mobile phone networks[edit]

Main article: Cellular frequencies
The effect of frequency on cell coverage means that different frequencies serve better for
different uses. Low frequencies, such as 450 MHz NMT, serve very well for countryside
coverage. GSM 900 (900 MHz) is a suitable solution for light urban coverage. GSM 1800
(1.8 GHz) starts to be limited by structural walls. UMTS, at 2.1 GHz is quite similar in coverage
to GSM 1800.
Higher frequencies are a disadvantage when it comes to coverage, but it is a decided advantage
when it comes to capacity. Pico cells, covering e.g. one floor of a building, become possible, and
the same frequency can be used for cells which are practically neighbours.
Cell service area may also vary due to interference from transmitting systems, both within and
around that cell. This is true especially in CDMA based systems. The receiver requires a
certain signal-to-noise ratio, and the transmitter should not send with too high transmission
power in view to not cause interference with other transmitters. As the receiver moves away
from the transmitter, the power received decreases, so the power control algorithm of the
transmitter increases the power it transmits to restore the level of received power. As the
interference (noise) rises above the received power from the transmitter, and the power of the
transmitter cannot be increased any more, the signal becomes corrupted and eventually
unusable. In CDMA-based systems, the effect of interference from other mobile transmitters in
the same cell on coverage area is very marked and has a special name, cell breathing.
One can see examples of cell coverage by studying some of the coverage maps provided by
real operators on their web sites or by looking at independently crowdsourced maps such
as OpenSignal. In certain cases they may mark the site of the transmitter, in others it can be
calculated by working out the point of strongest coverage.
A cellular repeater is used to extend cell coverage into larger areas. They range from wideband
repeaters for consumer use in homes and offices to smart or digital repeaters for industrial
needs.

Mobile country code

It has been suggested that this article be merged into List of mobile network operators of
Europe. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2013.
The ITU-T Recommendation E.212 defines mobile country codes as well as mobile network codes.
The mobile country code consists of 3 decimal digits and the mobile network code consists of 2 or 3
decimal digits (for example: MNC of 001 is not the same as MNC of 01). The first digit of the mobile
country code identifies the geographic region as follows (the digits 1 and 8 are not used):
0 - Test networks
2 - Europe
3 - North America and the Caribbean
4 - Asia and the Middle East
5 - Oceania
6 - Africa
7 - South and Central America
9 - World-wide (Satellite, Air - aboard aircraft, Maritime - aboard ships, Antarctica)
A mobile country code (MCC) is used in combination with a mobile network code (MNC) (also
known as a "MCC / MNC tuple") to uniquely identify a mobile network operator (carrier) using
the GSM (including GSM-R), UMTS, and LTE public land mobile networks. Some but not
all CDMA, iDEN, and satellite mobile networks are identified with an MCC/MNC tuple as well.
For WiMAX networks, a globally unique Broadband Operator ID can be derived from the MCC/MNC
tuple.[1] TETRA networks use the mobile country code from ITU-T Recommendation E.212 together
with a 10-bit binary mobile network code. However, a TETRA network may be assigned an E.212
network code as well. Some network operators do not have their own radio access network at all.
These are called mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) and are marked in the tables as such.
Note that MVNOs without their own MCC/MNC (that is, they share the MCC/MNC of their host
network) are not listed here.
The following tables attempt to provide a complete list of mobile network operators. Country
information, including ISO 3166-1 country codes is provided for completeness. Mostly for historical
reasons, one E.212 MCC may correspond to multiple ISO country codes (e.g. MCC 362
corresponds to BQ, CW, and SX). Some operators also choose to use an MCC outside the
geographic area that it was assigned to (e.g. Digicel uses the Jamaica MCC throughout the
Caribbean). ITU-T publishes an official list of mobile network codes from time to time in the
Operational Bulletin.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]
[50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79]
Unfortunately, the official list is often incomplete
as national MNC Authorities do not forward changes to the ITU in a timely manner. The official list
does not provide additional details such as bands and technologies and may not list disputed
territories such as Abkhazia or Kosovo.

Base transceiver station

Unknown
An actual BTS device
A typical BTS tower which holds the antenna. The tower is quite widely misinterpreted as the BTS itself. The
shelter which houses the actual BTS can also be seen.
A mobile BTS
A BTS mounted on a building
A base transceiver station (BTS) is a piece of equipment that facilitates wirelesscommunication

between user equipment (UE) and a network. UEs are devices like mobile
phones (handsets), WLL phones, computers with wireless Internetconnectivity. The network can be
that of any of the wireless communication technologies like GSM, CDMA, wireless local loop, WiFi, WiMAX or other wide area network (WAN) technology.
BTS is also referred to as the radio base station (RBS), node B (in 3G Networks) or, simply, the base
station (BS). For discussion of the LTE standard the abbreviation eNB for evolved node B is widely
used.
Though the term BTS can be applicable to any of the wireless communicationstandards, it is
generally associated with mobile communication technologies like GSM and CDMA. In this regard, a
BTS forms part of the base station subsystem(BSS) developments for system management. It may
also have equipment for encrypting and decrypting communications, spectrum filtering tools (band
pass filters), etc. antennas may also be considered as components of BTS in general sense as they
facilitate the functioning of BTS. Typically a BTS will have several transceivers (TRXs) which allow it
to serve several different frequencies and different sectors of the cell (in the case of sectorised base
stations). A BTS is controlled by a parent base station controller via the base station control function
(BCF). The BCF is implemented as a discrete unit or even incorporated in a TRX in compact base
stations. The BCF provides an operations and maintenance (O&M) connection to the network
management system (NMS), and manages operational states of each TRX, as well
as software handling and alarm collection. The basic structure and functions of the BTS remains the
same regardless of the wireless technologies.

General architecture[edit]
Electronic equipment box at the base of cellphone tower at Chinawal village, India
A BTS is usually composed of:

Transceiver (TRX)
Quite widely referred to as the driver receiver (DRX), DRX are either in form of single
(sTRU), double(dTRU) or a composite double radio unit (DRU). It basically does
transmission and reception of signals. It also does sending and reception of signals to and
from higher network entities (like the base station controller in mobile telephony).
Power amplifier (PA)
Amplifies the signal from DRX for transmission through antenna; may be integrated with
DRX.
Combiner
Combines feeds from several DRXs so that they could be sent out through a single antenna.
Allows for a reduction in the number of antenna used.
Multiplexer
For separating sending and receiving signals to/from antenna. Does sending and receiving
signals through the same antenna ports (cables to antenna).
Antenna
This is the structure that the BTS lies underneath; it can be installed as it is or disguised in
some way (Concealed cell sites).
Alarm extension system
Collects working status alarms of various units in the BTS and extends them to operations
and maintenance (O&M) monitoring stations.
Control function
Controls and manages the various units of BTS, including any software. On-the-spot
configurations, status changes, software upgrades, etc. are done through the control
function.
Baseband receiver unit (BBxx)
Frequency hopping, signal DSP.
Terms regarding a mobile BTS[edit]

Diversity techniques
To improve the quality of the received signal, often two receiving antennas are used, placed
at a distance equal to an odd multiple of a quarter of the corresponding wavelength. For
900 MHz, this wavelength is 30 cm. This technique, known as antenna diversity or space
diversity, avoids interruption caused by path fading. The antennas can be spaced
horizontally or vertically. Horizontal spacing requires more complex installation, but brings
better performance.
Other than antenna or space diversity, there are other diversity techniques such as
frequency/time diversity, antenna pattern diversity, and polarization diversity.
Splitting refers to the flow of power within a particular area of the cell, known as a sector.
Every field can therefore be considered like one new cell.
Directional antennas reduce LoRa (Long Range)
interference. If not sectorised, the cell will be served by
an omnidirectional antenna, which radiates in all
directions. A typical structure is the trisector, also
known as clover, in which there are three sectors
served by separate antennas. Each sector has a
separate direction of tracking, typically of 120 with
respect to the adjacent ones. Other orientations may
be used to suit the local conditions. Bisectored cells
are also implemented. These are most often oriented
with the antennas serving sectors of 180 separation to
one another, but again, local variations do exist.

RF site survey basics

This article describes RF site survey basics, RF survey types and RF survey
tools used for pre-installation verification of GSM,LTE,CDMA,UMTS networks.
RF Survey is collection of data from the site or in the field required to install a
new site. This is essential for various reasons such as cell site analysis,
determining coverage region of proposed new cell Site, for deciding the type of
link connectivity with another cell site. This task will result into physical changes
in the existing network due to modification or addition of new sites/equipments.
In order to perform RF survey work customer will usually provide following details
referred as nominal point or reference point.
Latitude value and longitude value
X-Y co-ordinates
Details of North/East co-ordinate
Location Area name
RF Survey can also helps in analyzing issues in the existing GSM/CDMA/LTE or
VSAT networks. Issues can be intereference or multi path distortion or
construction of new building near to the existing cell tower. By doing RF Survey,
we can eliminate these problems so the installed RF network will function
satisfactorily. Like other project planning, RF site survey work also should be well
planned so that its execution as well as final network roll-out will be executed
effectively and efficiently. Before going for RF site survey of the earth region, it is
essential to analyze the region first. For this all the available resources should be
used such as aerial photos, Google Maps, Google Earth etc.
There are different types of tower for which RF survey need to be done:
Ground Base Tower(GBT)-Avg. Tower height-30-60 meter
Roof Top Tower(RTT)-Avg. Tower Height-18-27 meter
Roof Top Pole(RTP)-Standard Height of Roof Top Pole is 3M, 6M & 9M from
ARL (Above Roof Level).
The procedure or steps to perform a RF site survey are as follows:

Identify the potential probable RF obstacles using facility diagram.
Visually inspect the location to look for any barriers in the path of RF signal
propagation. Also identify metallic structures if any.
Identify highly congested mobile user areas as well as less congested areas.
Determine locations including the power and wired network access at the
facility. Also determine cell coverage and overlap maps. Finalize frequency
channel for the site as well as mounting structures to be build with proper
specifications as per size of the antenna and other equipments(if any) etc.
Perform the actual surveying in order to verify and finalize the Base
Station/Node-B/eNB/eNodeB location. Make sure to use the same Base Station
model for the survey that is used in production for future network roll-outs. While
the RF survey is being performed, relocate the Base Stations as needed and retest to obtain max. signal strength condition.
Finalize and document the analysis made during the survey. Record the signal
readings along with data rates as well as network logs(if any) at various locations
of the facility. Do the same at outer boundary regions.
Types of RF Survey
There are two types of RF Survey as mentioned below:
1. Radio Network Design (RND) survey
2. Transmission Network Design (TND) survey
RND survey is used for deciding the coverage zone of a cell Site & feasibility of
cell site, for which we have to decide the following thing.
Cell Site Location Point
Orientation/Azimuth of GSM Antenna

Height of GSM Antenna
Tilt of the GSM Antenna
RND surveys are of two types viz. Coverage Site Survey and Capacity Site
Survey.
TND Survey is the path study between the new site point to the existing Site
Point for deciding the height of microwave antenna that is for fresnel zone
clearance.
There are various methods for connecting different cell sites such as microwave
link, satellite link using VSAT and optical fiber cable.
Microwave antenna is used to construct radio frequency link with another
nearby cellular site. This RF link is referred as microwave link due to microwave
frequency. There are totally three different microwave link frequencies which are
categorized on the basis of distance between the two cell sites. These are as
follows:
23 GHz for 0 to 3 Km
15 GHz for 0 to 10 Km
7 GHz for 10 Km and above
RF Survey Tools for GSM, LTE, CDMA network

Installation
Following are the list of RF survey tools used by engineers for RF site survey to
install GSM, CDMA, UMTS, LTE networks across the world.
GPS: It is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and
time information. This works irrespective of weather conditions provided there is

an un-obstructed LOS with 4 or more GPS satellites placed above the earth. It
help us to provide informations such as Lat-Long, Acceleration, Highway Map,
Direction and Distance between to Lat-Long etc. There are two types viz. 12
channel GPS and 72 channel GPS.
Distance Laser Meter: An electronic Tool which measures the distance by using
laser beam. It is mainly used to measure the height or dimensions of Building or
the site.
Magnetic compass: It is used for checking antenna direction. It is used for
taking 12 pictures each taking after exact 30 degree to complete 360 degree
view.
Binocular with high visual range
Digital camera: Used to take photographs for various situations as required in
the RF survey report. Take photos of nearest building/buildings which are within
20 meters radius of candidate. Any building of height G+5 or above within
20meters search ring of candidate, will be considered as Obstruction.
Obstruction photo will be require in the report.

Satellite basically composed of three main parts transponder, antenna systems

and solar cells. Transponder converts higher frequency received from earth to
lower frequency and transmit back to earth. For C band as mentioned below it
converts 6.175 GHz to 3.950 GHz as 2225MHz LO is used in the satellite. The
various frequency bands used in VSAT communications are as below Frequency Band Uplink (GHz) Earth Station to Satellite Downlink (GHz) Satellite
to Earth Station
C Band: Uplink- 5.925 to 6.425 Downlink- 3.700 to 4.200

Extended C Band- Uplink- 6.725 to 7.025 Downlink- 4.500 to 4.800
Ku Band - Uplink- 14.000 to 14.500 Downlink- 10.950 to 11.700
Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) refers to a earth station linked to satellite
using RF link and usually will have different diameter antennas. VSATs provide
the important communication link to set up a satellite based communication
network. VSATs can be used for voice, data, or video transmission and reception.
The VSAT comprises of two modules viz. an outdoor unit and an indoor unit.
Outdoor unit mainly houses Antenna, feed horn,RF Transceiver,LNA,Power
amplifier. The antenna size is typically 1.8 or 2.4 meter in diameter, although
smaller antennas are also in use. The indoor unit functions as mux-demux,
modem and interfaces with the end user equipments like PCs, LANs, Telephones
or an EPABX. Following diagram describes typical schematic consisting various
VSAT subsystems.
VSAT Outdoor Unit

The Outdoor unit is usually mounted near the antenna systems outside hence
the name. It consists of RF frequency converters (Up/Down converter), Power
Amplifier, Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), OMT and Antenna system.
The Up/Down converters convert frequencies IF to RF frequencies and vice
versa. For example, Up converter converts 70MHz to 6175 MHz and Down
converter converts 3950MHz to 70MHz for C band application. Power Amplifier
will amplify the signal before transmitting to the feed horn of the Antenna system.
LNAs are designed to amplify the noise added received signal received from the
satellite. It is designed such that it will amplify the signal and not the noise. Noise
temperature defines LNA performance. Antenna system houses reflector,feed
horn,mount and cables. VSAT antenna usually varies from 1.8 meters to 2.4 or
3.8 meters. Feed horn is mounted at focal point of the antenna. The feed horn
guides transmitted power towards the antenna dish and will go to the medium
consecutively. It also collects the received power from dish and will enter into the
LNA. Feed horn is made of array of microwave passive components. The
outdoor unit is connected through coaxial cable to the indoor unit, which is
situated inside the room/building. Length of the cable is usually about 300 foot
(approx. 90 meter).
VSAT Indoor Unit

The IDU consists of MUX/DEMUX, EDU (Encryption Decryption Unit), modem
(modulator-demodulator).
MUX will interface with end user equipments viz. telephone, computers and
sometime with EPABX and LAN or router,
if it has to carry more information. MUX will multiplex all the channels connected
with it using TDM. On receiver side DEMUX is used to de-multiplex the channels
and passed on to respective end user equipments. EDU is basically the
Encryption-Decryption unit which provides security by modifying the information
to be transmitted.
On receiver side encryption technique will be conveyed so that the information
can be retrieved back again. MODEM is basically performs modulatordemodulator functionality on transmit and receive side respectively.
Modulator inserts information on intermediate frequency (IF), usually called
carrier. This is done based on modulation scheme set. Usually QPSK scheme is
used in satellite communication and Forward Error Correction is also employed in
modem which enhances the BER for the same transmitter power usually used in
non-FEC systems. In order to communicate between VSAT 1 and VSAT 2,
modulator frequency of VSAT 1 and demodulator frequency of VSAT 2 need to
be same and vice versa to complete full duplex communication channel. Based
on frequency assignments as per FDMA various modem and RF frequency
converters are set.
VSAT system Installation procedure:

Step 1- Open all the sub systems from the received boxes. Sub systems include
Antenna and accessories,Feed Horn,OMT,BUC,LNB,Satellite Modem,MUX,EDU.
Step 2- Mount Antenna along with support, Do not tight all the screws.
Step 3- Check satellite latitude and longitude with which VSAT has to be tuned.
Calculate Azimuth and Elevation required for antenna alignment using calculators
available in putting latitude and longitude of the place where VSAT need to be
installed.
If calculators are not available, one can calculate required azimuth and elevation
angles for pointing an antenna towards Geo satellite using latitude of
site,longitude of site and equatorial longitude of the satellite as mentioned below.
First calculate angle Beta and path length L.
Beta= cos-1(cos[Dl].cos[la])
Where, "Dl" is the difference between the longitude of the Earth Station and the
Satellite.
"la" is the earth station latitude
L=(18.2- 5.4 cos[Beta])x 104 Km
Elevation Angle = cos-1[ 4.22 x (104/L)][sin(Beta)]
Azimuth = [ 180degree + tan-1(tan(Dl)/sin(la)) ]
Step 4- Adjust Antenna Azimuth using compass and also elevation using tools
available
If tools are not available roughly place antenna and first complete all other steps
as mentioned below then connect the spectrum analyzer at IF OUT of LNB and
check for good signal, tighten the antenna in that position.
Step 5- Run the IF cables from LNB and BUC to indoor unit (satellite
modem).Connect LNB cable to IF IN of modem and BUC to IF OUT of modem.
Step 6- Do necessary connections between MUX and Satellite modem for the
Data (or voice or voice plus Data) to be transmitted using satellite link.
Step 7- Connect MUX with EPABX for voice connection and with PC for data
connection depending on the system designed for.

Step 7- Do setting for Frequency and power in RF equipments (RF Transceiver
unit) and modem.
Following settings need to be done in IF Modem for VSAT 1 and VSAT 2 to be
communicated via satellite. Need to take care of Bandwidth so that one spectrum
does not overlap the other.
VSAT system FREQUENCY SETTINGS an

example
Mod: 71.1MHz Demod: 71.1MHz (VSAT1)

RF Measurements tutorial
Refer following sub topics related to RF domain:
RF Terminology C band RFT RF upconverter design Power Amplifier Link
Budget stripline Microstrip variants Slotline Finline CPW Microstrip
basics LNA testing Transceiver testing
This tutorial describes various RF measurements which include measurement

of gain,spurious,harmonics,1dB compression point, image frequency
rejection,return loss,phase noise,group delay, frequency stability,TOI,AMPM conversionof various RF devices/equipments using RF test and
measurement equipments. It covers RF transmitter and receiver measurements.
This article will help RF engineers in how to test and measure various RF
specifications of RF power amplifier, RF LNA and RF trasceiver using RF test
and measurement equipments such as spectrum analyzer, signal generator,
sweep oscillator, power meter etc.
Gain measurement
It is the ratio of output power to the input power and is expressed in dB. For
example if gain of the amplifier is mentioned as 20dB it means if the input to the
amplifier/DUT ( device under test) is -15dBm, output power will be +5dBm.
Gain Flatness measurement

The gain flatness or gain response is the measurement of the gain variation at
different frequency of operation of the RF systems such as RF Transceiver, RF
Power amplifier etc.
Gain Flatness Measurement
Spurious measurement
Unwanted frequencies at the output of the DUT usually devices having mixer
devices e.g. RF frequency converters is called spurious frequencies. These
spurious frequencies will be usually at non-integer multiples of the input
frequency fed to the DUT.
Harmonics measurement
This is also unwanted frequencies at the output of DUT as mentioned above but
will be at integer multiples of the input frequency.same Fig.2 is used for
measurement of harmonics.
RF Harmonic Measurement and test setup
Spurious vs Harmonics
Refer our page on Spurious vs Harmonics to know more.
1dB compression point measurement
It is also called as gain compression point; it is the output power till DUT works
well and does not go into saturation condition. Keep varying the input power and
measure the output power. From the measurement find out place where, 2 dB
variation of input there is 1 dB variation in the output. These are input and output
1dB compression points.
Noise figure measurement

It is the measure of the amount of noise generated by amplifier/DUT. It is related
to noise temperature as mentioned below.
NF= 10 log(1+T/290),
Where T is the noise temperature in Kelvins and NF is in dB
Refer Noise Figure Measurement of RF LNA
Noise figure Relation with Noise temperature and

Noise Factor
Noise Factor versus Noise Figure Noise figure vs Noise Temperature
Image frequency rejection measurement
It is the specification of receiver part in RF transceiver. For example we need to

measure image frequency rejection of C band down converter operating at input
frequency of 3700-4200 MHz and having 52-88 MHz output frequency. We need
to find two input frequencies f1 and f2 at the receiver or down converter which
will produce same frequency as output (say 70 MHz). in this case these two
frequencies are said to be images of each other. Frequency 5785 MHz is the
image frequency of 3700 MHz.
Fimage=Fs+2*IF
In order to measure the rejection, we need to feed f1(equal to 3700 MHz) and
note down the output frequency power level (say P1). Then we need to feed
f2(equal to 5785 MHz image frequency) and note down the power level (say P2).
The difference between these two power levels are said to be image frequency
rejection. It is usually specified in dBc.
Return loss measurement

It is measured at all the ports of the DUT. It is the measure of accuracy of
impedance matching at the ports.
Refer Reflection coefficient vs Return loss vs VSWR for more.
RL=20*Log (VSWR+1/VSWR-1)
Phase Noise measurement
It is the ratio of signal to noise power measured in 1 Hz bandwidth, usually

expressed at some frequency offset from RF carrier and unit of measurement is
dBc/Hz. For example phase noise is 1 KHz offset from RF carrier is -60dBc/Hz.
Same Fig.2 is used for measurements. Refer phase noise and jitter
measurement basics and RF Phase Noise Measurement setup
Group Delay measurement

Delay for the signal to transit from input to output for Device under Test (DUT).
Here as shown in the figure MLA(Microwave Link Analyzer) is used for group
delay measurement of RF Upconverter.
Group delay of upconverter = measure of group delay of above setup - group
delay of mixer module.
Similarly group delay for SSPA or down converter can be measured by replacing
upconverter mentioned in the setup with DUT.
Frequency stability measurement

It is the change in frequency of the DUT due to aging and temperature. They are
two types short term and long term and measured in PPM/day or PPM/year
respectively. ppm means parts per million.READ MORE.
3rd order intercept point

It is a measure of linearity which describes the amount of third order harmonic
that can be expressed in a device. It is referred to the input and output of a
module.
TOI in dBm = (Input signal levels in dBm) + (distortion products (dBc)/2)
P1dB versus TOI

Refer following links to know more on P1dB versus TOI, 2nd order Intercept point
vs 3rd order Intercept point.
P1dB vs TOI second order intercept point vs third order intercept point
AM-PM conversion measurement

AM-PM conversion measures the amount of undesired phase deviation (PM) that
is caused by amplitude variations (AM) of the system.
Measurement setup for AM-PM and TOI point is mentioned below.
AM-PM conversion, Kp=13.2 x 10-(Pint-Pi-G)/10
where, Pint is the Third Order Intercept Point or TOI
Pi is input level in dBm
and G is the Gain of Up converter
For Example, if Pi=-33dBm, Gain=30dB , TOI=+17.41dBm
By putting values in the above equation, we will get Kp=0.1203 degree/dB
Fig. AM-PM conversion and TOI measurement

As shown in the figure set Signal Source 1 to say f1(70 MHz) and feed this signal
and adjust power level such that it gives output power of (P1dB-3) dB.
Switch off Signal Source 1 and set Signal source 2 to 71.001 MHz and adjust
power level in Signal source 2 such that spectrum analyzer shows (P1dB-3) dBm
as output.
Now simultaneously feed both the signals with the power levels just derived from
above and note down the TOI as shown in the figure above.
