A Brief History
MOBILE COMMUNICATION
REVOLUTION IN TELECOM.
IT ALLOWS TO COMMUNICATE TO PEOPLE WITH ANYBODY WHILE ON MOVE (PHONES FOR THE PEOPLE , NOT FOR THE PLACES) PROVIDES VOICE , FAX, DATA
History
First mobile service started in 1946 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Improved form:
analog, cellular mobile
1980s
Limitations:
Severely confined spectrum allocation difficult multi-path fading environment limited network capacity & higher costs incompatibility among various systems
MOBILE COMMUNICATION
WIRELESS GENERATIONS
1 G (AMPS, TACS) -analog (cellular revolution) - only mobile voice services 2 G (GSM, CDMA) - breaking digital barrier - mostly for voice services & data delivery possible 3 G - Voice & data ( breaking data barrier) - Mainly for data services where voice services will also be possible

MOBILE COMMUNICATION
OBJECTIVES
Any time Anywhere Mobility & Roaming High capacity & subs. density Efficient use of radio spectrum Seamless Network Architecture Low cost Innovative Services Standard Interfaces
Fundamental problems
. Radio range, or coverage . no. of channels, or voice circuits.
. Full, seamless service coverage Large no. of subscribers in the range of millions
CELLULAR
CONCEPTS
CELLULAR
CONCEPTS
WHAT IS A CELL ?
Area covered by a base station transmitter having a number of RF channels is called a cell Each cell covers a a limited number of mobile subscribers within the cell boundaries ( Coverage area of the cell) Typical Cell Radius : Approximately: 25 Km (Start up) 1 Km (Mature)
CELLULAR
Cellular Coverage
CONCEPTS
Coverage zone is divided into cells served by transmitters using towers. Each transmitter is assigned a portion of the available channels. After a sufficient distance, the same channels are re-used to increase spectrum efficiency

CELLULAR CONCEPTS
Cellular Principle
SIMULTANEOUS RE USE OF SAME FREQUENCIES AT DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS SERVES MORE COVERAGE AREA REQUIRES LESS RF BW TO COVER A GIVEN AREA FREQ. REUSE INTRODUCES INTERFERENCE COMPROMISE BETWEEN SPEECH QUALITY & SYSTEM CAPACITY
Operation subsystem
The OSS (Operation Subsystem) enables centralized operation, management, and maintenance of all GSM subsystems Components
Authentication Center (AUC)
generates user specific authentication parameters on request of a VLR authentication parameters used for authentication of mobile terminals and encryption of user data on the air interface within the GSM system
Mobile Handset
TEMPORARY DATA
- Temporary Subscriber Identity - Current Location - Ciphering Data
PERMANENT DATA
Permanent Subscriber Identity Key/Algorithm for Authentication.
Provides access to the GSM n/w Consists of Mobile equipment (ME) Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)

Access Mechanism
Frequency multiplex
Separation of the whole spectrum into smaller frequency bands A channel gets a certain band of the spectrum for the whole time k1 k2 k3 k4 k5 Advantages: c no dynamic coordination necessary works also for analog signals Disadvantages: waste of bandwidth if the traffic is distributed unevenly t inflexible guard spaces
k6
A channel gets the whole spectrum for a certain amount of time Advantages:
only one carrier in the medium at any time throughput high even for many users
Time multiplex
k1 c

k3
k4

k6
Disadvantages:
precise synchronization necessary
Better protection against tapping Protection against frequency selective interference Higher data rates compared to c code multiplex

GSM combines FDM and TDM: bandwidth is subdivided into channels of 200khz, shared by up to eight stations, assigning slots for transmission on demand.
Code Multiplex
k1 k2 k3 k4 k5 k6
Each channel has a unique code All channels use the same spectrum at the same time Advantages: Bandwidth efficient No coordination and synchronization necessary Good protection against interference and tapping Disadvantages: Lower user data rates More complex signal regeneration Implemented using spread spectrum technology

Representation of Cells

Fictitious cells
Cell structure
Implements space division multiplex: base station covers a certain transmission area (cell) Mobile stations communicate only via the base station Advantages of cell structures: higher capacity, higher number of users less transmission power needed more robust, decentralized base station deals with interference, transmission area etc. locally Problems: fixed network needed for the base stations handover (changing from one cell to another) necessary interference with other cells Cell sizes from some 100 m in cities to, e.g., 35 km on the country side (GSM) - even less for higher frequencies

D = 3K * R Frequency re-use distance is based on the cluster size K
D = 4.58R
The cluster size is specified in terms of the offset of the center of a cluster from the center of the adjacent cluster
K = i2 + ij + j2
K = 22 + 2*0 + 02 D K=4+0+0 K=4
