WLL OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION
WLL stands for Wireless in Local Loop. WLL is a Mobile Communication System. IT is a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access System) based system. Initially, it was employed as a part of basic Telephony. At present full fledged Systems are available.

SOME OF WLL SYSTEMS

CDMA based WLL Systems were originally developed by M/s Qualcomm Inc., USA. At present many WLL products are available from Chinese and South Korean companies. Some of the popular WLL Systems are from-L G Systems, Hyundai, Samsung -ZTE -Ericsson, Motorola

A TYPICAL LG WLL SYSTEM

Sub-Units of a Typical LS WLL System are-BSC (Base Station Controller) -BTS (Base Trans-Receiver Station) -BSM (Base Station Manager) -MS (Mobile Set)

LG WLL SYSTEM

BSC
Most important Sub-unit of a WLL System. It works as an independent Switch. BSC does call processing, Call management. It is connected to PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) by means of E1 link. BSC works as an Interface between PSTN & BTSs. IT controls a no. of BTSs.

BTS
A BTS serves a Cell or number of users in a Cell. It is an Interface between BSC and the MSs. It is connected to BSC with E1 Link and it has Radio link with MSs. It takes part in call processing with the BSC. BTS controls power level of the MSs. It manages wireless resources.

BSM
BSM is the MMC (Man Machine Communication) device of WLL System. It is basically a Sun Micro-System Workstation. BSM is connected to BSC through a RS-422 link. BSM uses Solarix as OS, Informix as DBMS, Sparc C as Language and Motif as GUI.

MS
MS may of two types-FWT (Fixed Wireless Terminal) & -MS (Mobile Set) FWT has a Telephone Set and a Base Module. The Base Module has ports for connecting FAX and Modems for Data Communications. It has a di-pole antenna and may be connected with a directional antenna. MS is a portable set with ESN (Electronic Subscriber Number).

BRIEF SPEC OF LG WLL SYSTEM

Access Technology used is CDMA Frequency band=> 824-849 Mhz for Up-link => 869-894 Mhz for Dn-link RF Channel Bandwidth = 1.25 Mhz Rx-Tx Separation 45 Mhz Modulation used- QPSK Voice Coding used- QCELP (Qualcomm Code Excited Linear Prediction).

MSC BASED WLL

In BSNL Networks, MSC based WLL Systems are supplied by M/S ZTE of China. The System sub-units are -MSC/VLR/SSP -Charging Centre -Network Management -HLR/AUC -SC/VM -CCS#7 Network -BSS consisting of BSC & BTS

CDMA2000
CDMA2000 is the 3G Mobile Technology upgraded from CDMAone (IS-95 standard). It is standardized by 3GPP2 (Third Generation Partnership Project 2). There are various types of CDMA2000-CDMA2000 1X -CDMA2000 1X-EV-DO -CDMA2000 1X-EV-DV -CDMA2000 3X

CDMA2000 (Contd.)
CDMA 1X This delivers 3G Like Services with data speed up-to 140 kbps. CDMA 1X EV-DO Here, EV-DO stands for Enhanced Video-Data Only. It is EV Phase One. Its data speed is of the order of 2 mbps. CDMA 1X EV-DV In this case EV-DV is meant for Enhanced Video Data and Voice. It is EV Phase Two. Data Speed is of the order of 3 mbps. CDMA 3X It is other way known as IMT-2000 MC (Multi Carrier). It band width is 3.75 Mhz and Data speed is of the order of 2 to 4 mbps.
