What are the types in GSM Network?

GSM-900 (Channels 125, spacing 45Mhz) GSM -1800 (Channels 374, spacing 95Mhz) Due to frequency, a BTS transmitting information at 1800MHz with an output power of 10 Watts will cover only half the area of a similar BTS transmitting at 900MHz. To counteract this, BTSs using 1800MHz may use a higher output power.

GSM Concepts - Cellular Structure

Cell: A cell is the basic geographic unit of a cellular system and
is defined as the area of radio coverage given by one BS antenna system.
Classification of cells in GSM Network:

1. Large Cells:
large cells are employed in 1. Remote areas. 2. Coastal regions.
3. Areas with few subscribers.

4. Large areas which need to be covered with the minimum number of cell sites
49
Small Cells or Micro Cells:

Urban areas. Low transmission power required. High number of MSs. However, micro cells are cells where the antenna height is under the average roof top level and they are typically used in urban areas.
Pico cells :
The Pico cells are small cells whose diameter is a few dozen meters and are mainly used indoors
Umbrella Cells
50
Umbrella cells are used to cover shadow regions of smaller cells and fill in gaps of coverage between those cells. These cells are usually built on high ways to cover the uncovered region.
51
Case Study 4 :
How a cell site will be planned in the network?... Reg.Drive Test &Planning.
What is a Cluster ?
A Cluster is a group of cells. No channels are reused within a cluster. If a cluster has 3 cells, it is called 3 cell cluster, if a cluster has 4 cells, it is called 4 cell cluster, and if it is 7 cells, it is called 7 cell cluster.
52
53
Frequency reuse : The concept of using the same

frequencies again and again is called frequency reuse.

GSM Identifiers Subscriber Identities - MSISDN
Human Identity to call a MS MSISDN uniquely identifies a mobile subscriber in PSTN Calls will be routed from the PSTN and other networks based on MSISDN number. MSISDN= CC + NDC + SN CC= Country Code (91) NDC= National Destination Code(9848) SN= Subscriber Number (012345)
65
International Mobile Subscriber Identity [IMSI]

A subscriber is always identified within the GSM network by the IMSI - Used for all signaling in the PLMN. - Stored in the SIM, HLR & VLR. - The IMSI consists of three different parts. IMSI= MCC + MNC + MSIN (Maximum of 15 digits) = (3 digits)+(1-2digits)+ (maximum 11 digits)
MCC = Mobile Country Code

MNC = Mobile Network Code MSIN = Mobile Station Identification Number
67
International Mobile Equipment Identity [IMEI]

The IMEI is used for equipment identification. An IMEI uniquely identifies a mobile station as a piece or assembly of equipment. IMEI = TAC + FAC + SNR + sp TAC= Type Approval Code (6 digits),determined by GSM body FAC= Final Assembly Code (2 digits), identifies the manufacturer
SNR= Serial Number (6 digits), uniquely identifying all equipment within each TAC & FAC
sp = Spare for future use (1 digit)

ROAMING CONCEPT
www.utltraining.com
105
Roaming:
Roaming is defined as the ability for a cellular customer to automatically make & receive voice calls, send & receive data, or access other services when traveling outside the geographical coverage area of the home network, by means of using a visited network.
www.utltraining.com
106
1.National Roaming: If the visited network is in the same country as the home network, this is known as National Roaming. 2. International Roaming: If the visited network is outside the home country, this is known as International Roaming (the term Global Roaming has also been used).
www.utltraining.com
107
3.Inter-Standard Roaming: If the visited network operates on a different technical standard than the home network, this is known as Interstandard roaming.
108
AUTHENTICATION
109
Authentication Process
To discuss the authentication process, assume that the VLR has all the information required to perform that authentication process (Kc, SRES and RAND). If this information is unavailable, then the VLR would request it from the HLR/AUC. 1. Triples (Kc, SRES and RAND) are stored at the VLR. 2. The VLR sends RAND via the MSC and BSS, to the MS (unencrypted).
110
111
3. The MS sends SRES unencrypted to the VLR.
4. Within the VLR the value of SRES is compared with the SRES received from the mobile. If the two values match, then the authentication is successful.
5. If ciphering is to be used, Kc from the assigned triple is passed to the BTS.
112
6. The mobile calculates Kc from the RAND and A8 and Ki on the SIM. 7. Using Kc, A5 and the GSM hyper frame number, encryption between the MS and the BSS can now occur over the air interface .
113
GSM Channels on Air Interface
Channel concept
Physical channel: One timeslot of a TDMA-frame on one ARFCN is referred to as a physical channel. There are 8 physical channels per carrier in GSM, channel 0-7(timeslot 0-7) Logical channel: Depending on the kind of information transmitted, we refer to different logical channels. These logical channels are mapped on physical channel.

Control channels I. Broadcast channels BCH
116
1)Broadcast Control Channel-BCCH

The last information the MS must receive in order to receive calls or make calls is some information concerning the cell. This is BCCH.
This is transmitted Downlink point to multipoint.
117
Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH)

Carries the following information (this is only a partial list): Location Area Identity (LAI). List of neighboring cells, which should be monitored by the MS. List of frequencies used in the cell.
Cell identity.
118
Control channels
I. Broadcast channels BCH
2)Frequency correction channel-FCCH This is transmitted frequently on the BCCH timeslot and allows the mobile to synchronize its own frequency to that of the transmitting base site.
119
3) Synchronization Channel-SCH This is used by the MS to synchronize to the TDMA frame structure within the particular cell.
Listening to the SCH the MS receives

1. TDMA frame number
2. BSIC (Base Station Identity code).
120
Control channels II. Common Control Channels,CCCH
1) Paging Channel-PCH
The information on this channel is a paging message including the MSs identity(IMSI).This is transmitted on Downlink.
2) Random access channel-RACH:

When the mobile realizes it is paged, it answers by requesting a signaling channel on RACH. RACH is also used by the MS if it wants to originate a call. It is transmitted in Uplink point to point.
121
Control channels Common Control Channels,CCCH

3) Access Grant Channel-AGCH On request for a signaling channel by MS the network assigns a signaling channel(SDCCH) on AGCH. AGCH is transmitted on the downlink point to point.
122
Control channels III. Dedicated Control ChannelsDCCH
123
1) Stand alone dedicated control channel (SDCCH)

AGCH assigns SDCCH on request by MS. Used during Call setup Steppingstone between BCH & TCH MS is informed about frequency & timeslot to use Up and Downlink, point-point.

Two half rate TCHs can share one physical channel.
127
TDMA FRAME
128
129
BURSTS
Burst
130
The information format transmitted during one timeslot in the TDMA frame is called a burst.
A Burst consists of several different elements.
Information : This is the area in which the speech, data or control information is held. Tail Bits : These are used to indicate the beginning and end of the burst.
131
Stealing Flags : These two bits are set when a traffic channel burst has been stolen by a FACCH (the Fast Associated Control Channel). One bit set indicates that half of the block has been stolen.
Training Sequence : This is used by the

receivers equalizer as it estimates the transfer characteristic of the physical path between the BTS and the MS. The training sequence is 26 bits long.
132
Guard
Period :
The BTS and MS can only receive the burst and decode it, if it is received within the timeslot designated for it.
To be precise, the timeslot is 0.577 ms long, whereas the burst is only 0.546 ms long; therefore there is a time difference of 0.031 ms to enable the burst to hit the timeslot.
133
Different Types of Bursts

S T. Seq. 1 26
S Coded Data T GP 1 57 3 8.25
Tail Bit(T) :Used as Guard Time Coded Data :It is the Data part associated with the burst Stealing Flag :This indicates whether the burst is carrying Signaling data. Training Seq. :This is a fixed bit sequence known both to the BTS & the MS.This takes care of the signal deterioration.
136
Frequency Correction Burst

This burst carries FCCH downlink to correct the frequency of the MSs local oscillator, effectively locking it to that of the BTS.
Synchronization Burst
137
It is so called because its function is to carry SCH downlink, synchronizing the timing of the MS to that of the BTS
138
Dummy Burst
Used when there is no information to be carried on the unused timeslots of the BCCH Carrier (downlink only).
139
Access Burst
This burst is of much shorter duration than the other types. Whenever the MS tries to access the BTS, the information that is sent is called Access Burst. (The Access Burst is uplink only.)

ANALAG TO DIGITAL (A/D) CONVERSION
145
One of the primary functions of an MS is to convert the analog speech information into digital form for transmission using a digital signal.
The analog to digital conversion (A/D) conversion process outputs a collection of bits; binary ones and zeroes which represent the speech input
146
The A/D Conversion is performed by using a process called Pulse Code Modulation (PCM). PCM involves three main steps. Sampling Quantization Coding.
147
Sampling:
Sampling involves measuring the analog signal at specific time intervals. The accuracy of describing the analog signal in digital terms depends on how often the analog signal is sampled. This is expressed as the sampling frequency
148
The sampling theory states that :
To reproduce an analog signal without distortion, the signal, must be sampled with at least twice the frequency of the highest frequency component in the analog signal.
149
Normal speech mainly contains frequency components lower than 3400 Hz.
Applying the sampling theory to analog speech signals, the sampling frequency should be at least 2X3.4 kHz=6.8 kHz.
Telecommunication systems use a sampling frequency of 8 kHz, which is acceptable based on the sampling theory.
150
Quantization:
The amplitude of the signal at the time of sampling is measured and approximated to one of a finite set of values The degree of accuracy depends on the number of quantization levels used. Within common telephony, 256 levels are used while in GSM 8,192 levels are used.
Coding
151
Coding involves converting the quantized values into binary. Every value is represented by a binary code of 13 bits (213=8192).
For example, a quantized value of 2,157 would have a bit pattern of 0100001101101:

Summary of A/D Conversion
153
The result from the process of A/D Conversion is 8,000 samples per second of 13 bits each. This is a bit rate of 104 kbits/s. When it is considered that 8 subscribers use one radio channel, the overall bit rate would not fit into the 200 kHz available for all 8 subscribers. The bit rate must be reduced somehow. This is achieved using segmentation and speech coding
STAGE 2: SEGMENTATION AND STAGE 3: SPEECH CODING
154
The speech coding process analyzes speech samples and outputs parameters of what the speech consists of. Segmentation: Given that speech organs are relatively slow in adapting to changes, the filter parameters representing the speech organs are approximately constant during 20 ms..
155
For this reason, when coding speech in GSM, a block of 20 ms is coded into one set of bits. In effect, it is similar to sampling speech at a rate of 50 times per second instead of the 8,000 used by A/D conversion
156
Summary of segmentation and speech coding

The GSM speech coder produces a bit rate of 13 kbits/s per subscriber. When it is considered that 8 subscribers use one radio channel, the overall bit rate would be 8X13kbits/s =104kbits/s. This compares favorably with the 832 kbits/s from A/D conversion. However, speech coding does not consider the problems which may be encountered on the radio transmission path. The next stages in the transmission process, channel coding and interleaving, help to overcome these problems.

CONVOLUTION CODER
456 bits => 8 Block of 57 bits

STAGE 4: CHANNEL CODING

Channel coding in GSM uses the 260 bits from speech coding as input to channel coding and outputs 456 encoded bits. The 260 bits are split according to their relative importance: Block 1 : 50 very important Bits. Block 2 : 132 important Bits and Block 3 : 78 not so important bits.
158
159
The first block of 50 bits is sent through a block coder, which adds three parity bits that will result in 53 bits. These three bits are used to detect errors in a received message. The 53 bits from first block, the 132 bits from the second block and 4 tail bits (total: 189) are sent to a 1:2 convolutional coder which outputs 378 bits. Bits are added by the convolutional coder enable the correction of errors when the message is received. The bits of block 3 are not protected.
160
STAGE 5 : INTERLEAVING
First level of interleaving:
161
The channel coder provides 456 bits for every 20 ms of speech. These are interleaved, forming eight blocks of 57 bits each, as shown in the figure below.
In a normal burst, there is space for two of these speech blocks or 57 bits, as can be seen in figure. The remaining bits are like tail bits, stealing flags, training sequence and guard period. Thus, if one burst of transmission is lost, there is a 25% BER for the entire 20 ms of speech (2/8=25%).
162
First Stage of Interleaving
Second level of interleaving or Diagonal interleaving:
163
If only one level of interleaving is used, a loss of this burst results in a total loss of 25%. This is too much for the channel decoder to correct. A second level of interleaving can be introduced to further reduce the possible BER to 12.5%.
164
Instead of sending two blocks of 57 bits from the same 20 ms of speech within one burst, a block from one 20 ms and a block from next sample of 20 ms are sent together. A delay is introduced in the system when the MS must wait for the next 20 ms of speech. However, the system can now afford to loose a whole burst, out of eight, as the loss is only 12.5% of the total bits from each 20 ms speech frame. 12.5% is the maximum loss level that channel decoder can correct
Diagonal interleaving
165
STAGE 6: CIPHERING/ENCRYPTION
166
The purpose of ciphering is to encode the burst so that it cannot be interpreted by any other device than the intended receiver. The ciphering algorithm in GSM is called A5 algorithm.
STAGE 7 : BURST FORMATTING
167
As previously explained, every transmission from an MS/BTS must include some extra information such as training sequence. The process of burst formatting is to add these bits (along with some others such as tail bits) to the basic speech/data being sent. This increases the overall bit-rate, but is necessary to counteract problems encountered on the radio path.
168
In GSM, the input to burst formatting is the 456 bits received from ciphering, Burst formatting adds a total of 136 bits per block of 20 ms, bringing the overall total to 592.
169
STAGE 8: MODULATION & TRANSMISSON

The bits must then be sent over the air using a carrier frequency. GSM uses the GMSK modulation technique. The bits are modulated onto a carrier frequency and transmitted (e.g. 912.2MHz).

The Location Area Identity (LAI) is a temporary network identity, which is also required for routing.
The two main purposes of the LAI are: 1.Paging, which is used to inform the MSC of the LA in which the MS is currently situated.
2.Location updating of mobile Subscribers.
192
The LAI contains the following:
LAC: Location Area code, the maximum length of LAC is 16 bits, enabling 65,536 different location areas to be defined in one PLMN

194
NCC: Network Color Code (3 bits) identifies the PLMN. Note that it does not uniquely identify the operator. NCC is primarily used to distinguish between operators on each side of the border.
BCC: Base Station color Code (3 bits), identifies the Base Station to help distinguish between BTS using the same control frequencies
Different States of an MS
An MS can have one of the following states: Idle: The MS is ON, but a call is not in progress. Active: the MS is On and a call is in Progress.
195
Detached: The MS is OFF.
196
Mode Idle Mode Term Registration Roaming International Roaming Description This is the process, which an MS informs a network that it is attached. When am MS moves around a network in idle mode, it is referred to as roaming. When an MS moves into a network, which is not, its home network, it is referred to as international roaming. MSs can only roam into networks with which the home network has a roaming agreement. An MS roaming around the network must inform the network when it enters a new LA. This is called location Updating. This is the process whereby a network attempts to contact a particular MS. This is achieved by broadcasting a paging message containing the identity of that MS. This is the process in which control of a call is passed from one cell to another while the MS moves between cells.
Location Updating
Paging
Active Mode
Handover
Detached Mode
In this mode no traffic cases are present. MS is switched OFF in this case.
Attaching to the Network

IMSI Attach:
197
When an MS is switched ON, the IMSI attach procedure is executed. This involves the following steps:
The MS sends an IMSI attach message to the network, indicating that it has changed state to idle.
The VLR determines whether there is a record for the subscriber already present. If not, the VLR contacts the subscribers HLR for a copy of the subscription information.
The VLR updates the MS status to idle. Acknowledgement is sent to the MS.
198
BSC/TRC
MSC/VLRR
2 4
Location Updating type IMSI Attach:
199
If the MS has changed LA while powered off, the IMSI attach procedure may lead to an update to the location of the MS. During IMSI attach, the VLR may determine that the current LAI of the MS is different from the LAI stored in the MSs subscription information. If so, the VLR updates the LAI of the MS.
IMSI DETACH
IMSI detach enables the MS to indicate to the network that it is switched ff. At power off, the MS sends an IMSI detach message to the network. On reception, the VLR marks the corresponding IMSI detached. The HLR is not informed. No acknowledgement is sent to the MS.

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING
202
Telecommunications Traffic, Tele Traffic:

A Process of events related to demands for the utilization of resources in a telecommunication network.
203
Traffic Intensity :
The instantaneous traffic in a pool of resources is the number of busy resources at a given instant of time. Traffic intensity is a measure of the average occupancy of a facility during a specified period of time, normally a busy hour, measured in traffic units (erlangs) and defined as the ratio of the time during which a facility is occupied (continuously or cumulatively) to the time. This facility is available for occupancy. Traffic Intensity = Call Request Rate X Holding Time. Au = H, Where = Average Number of Call requests per unit time for each user. H = Average Duration of a call.
204
Calling Rate : The number of times a route or traffic path is used per unit time, more properly defined, the call intensity per traffic path during busy hour. Holding time : The average duration of occupancy of a traffic path by a call. Traffic intensity : It is the average number of calls simultaneously in progress during a particular period of time. It is measured either in units of Erlangs or CCS.
205
An average of one call in progress during an hour represents a traffic intensity of 1 Erlang or 1 Erlang=1X3600 call seconds=36 CCS. Traffic intensity can be obtained as:
Traffic intensity = (The sum of circuit holding time)/(the duration of the monitoring period)
206
1. If the carried load for a component is 2900 CCS at 5% blocking, what is the offered load? Sol: Offered load = 2900/(1-0.05)=3050 CCS.
2. In a voice network, each subscriber generates two calls/hour on average and a typical call holding time is 120 seconds. What is the traffic intensity?
Sol : Intensity = 2X120/3600 = 0.0667 Erlangs = 2.4 CCS.
207
Call Number
Duration of call 60 74 80 90 92 70 96 48 64 126
3. To determine voice traffic on a line, the following data was collected during a period of 90 minutes (refer the table below). Calculate the traffic intensity in Erlangs and CCS

209
4. The data in the table below was recorded by observing the activity of a single customer line during the eight hour period from 9.00 A.M. to 5.00 P.M. Determine the traffic intensity during the eight hour period, during the Busy Hour (which is assumed to be between 4:00 PM. And 5:00 P.M).

The traffic intensity I = 1.375 X 0.1515 = 0.208 Erlangs = 7.5 CCS.
212
The busy hour is 4:00 P.M to 5:00 P.M. Since there are only two calls between this period, the call arrival rate = 2 calls/Hr The average call holding time during busy hour : (34+5) min/2 calls = 19.5 minutes/call =0.325 hour/call The traffic load in the BH is I= 2X0.325 = 0.65 Erlang =23.4 CCS.

GSM SERVICES
Types of GSM services

Basic Services: These are available to all subscribers to a mobile network. For example, the ability to make voice telephone calls is a basic service. Supplementary Services: These are additional services that are available by subscription only. Call forwarding is an example of a supplementary service
214
Basic Services
Basic Services can be divided into 2 types:
215
Tele services:
A tele service allows the subscriber to communicate (usually via voice, fax, data or SMS) with another subscriber. It is a complete system including necessary terminal equipment.
Bearer Services:
216
A bearer service transports speech and data as digital information within the network between user interfaces. A bearer service is the capability to transfer information and does not include the end user equipment. Every tele service is associated with a bearer service. For example, a bearer service associated with the speech telephony tele service is the timeslot assigned to a call on a TDMA
TELE SERVICES:
217
The following are the major tele services supported by GSM System. 1. Speech 2. Emergency Calls 3. Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) 4. Alternate Speech/Fax
5. Short Message Service

6. SMS Cell Broadcast (SMSCB)
BEARER SERVICES:
1. Traffic to PSTN
218
2. Traffic to ISDN
3. Traffic to Packet Switched Public Data Networks (PSPDN) 4. Traffic to Circuit Switched Public Data Networks (CSPDN) 5. Traffic to Internet
SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES
1. Call Forwarding 2. Barring of outgoing calls 3. Bar all outgoing calls 4. Bar all outgoing international calls 5. Bar all outgoing international calls except those directed to the home PLMN 6. Call waiting 7. Multi party service 8. Closed User Group (CUG)
219
220
BATTERY LIFE
Battery Life
One of the main factors, which restrict reducing the size of a MS, is the battery. A battery must be large enough to maintain a telephone call for an acceptable amount of time without needing to be recharged. Since there is demand for MSs to become smaller and lighter the battery must also become smaller and lighter.
221
222
The features which enable the life of a GSM MS battery to be extended are : 1.Power Control
2.Voice Activity Detection (VAD)

3.Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) 4.Discontinuous Reception (DRX)
1. Power Control:
223
This is a feature of the GSM air interface which allows the network provider to not only compensate for the distance from MS to BTS as regards timing, but can also cause the BTS and MS to adjust their power output to take account of that distance also.
224
The closer the MS is to the BTS, the less the power it and the BTS will be required to transmit. This feature saves radio battery power at the MS, and helps to reduce co-channel and adjacent channel interference
Power Control
225
2. Voice Activity Detection (VAD):

VAD is a mechanism whereby the source transmitter equipment identifies the presence or absence of speech. VAD implementation is effected in speech mode by encoding the speech pattern silences at a rate of 500 bit/s rather than the full 13 kbit/s. This results in a data transmission rate for background noise, known as comfort noise, which is regenerated in the receiver. Without comfort noise the total silence between the speeches would be considered to be disturbing by the listener.
226
3. Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) :
227
DTX increases the efficiency of the system through a decrease in the possible radio transmission interference level. It does this by ensuring that the MS does not transmit unnecessary message data.
DTX can be implemented, as necessary, on a call-by-call basis. The effects will be most noticeable in communications between two MS.
4. Discontinuous Reception (DRX):
228
DRX allows the MS to effectively switch off during times when reception is deemed unnecessary. This allows the MS to go to sleep and listen-in only when necessary, with the effective saving in power usage. DRX may only be used when a MS is not in a call.
229
GSM Basic Call Sequence
230
Call from Land Line to a GSM network
Call flow :
231
1. The incoming call is passed from the fixed network to the gateway MSC (GMSC).
2. Then, based on the IMSI numbers of the called party, its HLR is determined. 3. The HLR checks for the existence of the called number. Then the relevant VLR is requested to provide a mobile station roaming number (MSRN).
232
4. This is transmitted back to the GMSC. 5. Then the connection is through from GMSC to the responsible MSC. 6. Now the MSC queries the VLR for the location range and reachability status of the mobile subscriber. 7. If the MS is marked reachable, VLR asks the MSC to go ahead with necessary paging message.
8. MSC asks the BSC for the same, then the BSC asks the BTS to send a paging message.
233
9. Then the particular mobile subscriber telephone responds to the page request through RACH. This will be forwarded to the BSC and MSC. 10.SDCCH will be provided through AGCH by the BSC with the instructions from MSC. SDCCH handles all necessary security procedures like authentication, IMEI check etc. 11.If this is successful, the VLR indicates to the MSC to go ahead with the call. 12. The traffic channel will be provided and the call can be completed.
Call from Mobile Station to land line
234
Call Flow from MS to PSTN
235
1. MS after dialing a number and press send key uses RACH to ask for a signaling channel. 2. The BSC allocates a signaling channel, using AGCH. 3. The MS sends a call setup request through SDCCH, to the MSC/VLR. Over SDCCH, all signaling takes place. This includes:
236
Marking the MS status as active in the VLR (if the MS status is not updated earlier). The Authentication Procedure
Ciphering
Equipment Identification
Sending the called Subscriber number to the network

Checking if the subscriber has service
237
4. The MSC/VLR instructs the BSC to allocate an idle TCH. The BTS and MS are told to tune to the TCH. 5. The MSC/VLR forwards the called number to an exchange in the PSTN, which establishes a connection to the subscriber. 6. If the called subscriber answers, the connection is established.
238
Case Study 9:
How Call flow happens in reality from the cell site? (PSTN Demo and BTS Video)
239
Handover between Cells Controlled by the Same BSC
240
1. The BSC orders the new BTS to activate a TCH.
2. The BSC sends a message to the MS, via the old BTS, containing information about the frequency and time slot to change to and also the output power to use. This information is sent to the MS using FACCH. 3. The MS tunes to the new frequency, and transmits handover access burst in the correct time slot. Since the MS had no
241
4. When the new BTS detects the hand over bursts, it sends the information about TA. This is also sent through FACCH.
5. The MS sends a handover complete message to the BSC through the new BTS.
6. The BSC tells the old BTS to release the old TCH

1. The serving BSC sends a Hand over Required Message to the MSC containing the identity of the target cell 2. The MSC knows which BSC controls this cell and sends a Hand over Request to this BSC. 3. The new BSC orders the target BTS to activate a TCH. 4. The new BSC sends a message to the MS through the MSC and the old BTS.
244
5. MS tunes to the new frequency and transmits handover access bursts in the correct time slot.
6. When the new BTS sends information about TA.

7. MS sends a handover complete message to MSC through the new BSC. 8. MSC sends the old BSC an order to release the old TCH. 9. The old BSC tells the old BTS to release the TCH.
Hand over between cells controlled by different MSC/VLRs:
245
246
1. The serving (old) BSC sends a Hand over required message to the serving MSC (MSC-A), with the identity of the target cell. 2. MSC-A identifies that this cell belongs to another MSC (MSC-B), and requests help. 3. MSC-B allocates a hand over number to reroute the call. A Hand over Request is then sent to the new BSC.
247
4. The new BSC orders the target BTS to activate a TCH. 5. MSC-B receives the information, and passes it on to MSC-A together with the handover number.
6. A link is set up to MSC-B, possibly, though PSTN.

7. MSC-A sends a handover command to the MS, through the old BSC.
8. The MS tunes to the new frequency and transmits hand over access burst in the correct time slot.
248
9. When the new BTS detects the hand over burst it sends information about TA.
10. The MS sends hand over complete message to the old MSC, through the new BSC and the new MSC/VLR.
11. A new path in the group switches in MSC-A is established, and the call is switched through. 12. The old TCH is deactivated by the old BSC.
249
SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE
250
The point-to-point SMS provides a mechanism for transmitting "short" messages to and from wireless handsets. The service makes use of a short message service center (SMSC), which acts as a store and forward system for short messages. The wireless network provides for the transport of short messages between the SMSCs and wireless handsets.
251
A distinguishing characteristic of the service is that an active mobile handset is able to receive or submit a short message at any time, independent of whether or not a voice or data call is in progress. SMS also guarantees delivery of the short message by the network. Temporary failures are identified, and the short message is stored in the network until the destination becomes available.

Short Messaging Entities Short messaging entity (SME) is an entity which may receive or send short messages. The SME may be located in the fixed network, a mobile station, or another service center. Short Message Service Center Short message service center (SMSC) is responsible for the relaying and store-and forwarding of a short message between an SME and mobile station.
255
SMS-Gateway/Inter working Mobile Switching Center
The SMS gateway MSC (SMS-GMSC) is an MSC capable of receiving a short message from an SMSC, interrogating a home location register (HLR) for routing information, and delivering the short message to the "visited" MSC of the recipient mobile station. The SMS inter working MSC (SMS-IWMSC) is an MSC capable of receiving a short message from the mobile network and submitting it to the appropriate SMSC. The SMSGMSC/ SMSIWMSC are typically integrated with the SMSC.
Mobile Switching Center
256
The mobile switching center (MSC) performs the switching functions of the system and controls calls to and from other telephone and data systems.
Visitor Location Register

The visitor location register (VLR) is a database that contains temporary information about subscribers. This information is needed by the MSC in order to service visiting subscribers.
The Base Station System
257
All radio-related functions are performed in the base station system (BSS). The BSS consists of base station controllers (BSCs) and the base transceiver stations (BTSs), and its primary responsibility is to transmit voice and data traffic between the mobile stations.
Service Elements
258
SMS comprises several service elements relevant to the reception and submission of short messages: Validity period: The validity period indicates how long the SMSC shall guarantee the storage of the short message before delivery to the intended recipient. Priority: Priority is the information element provided by an SME to indicate the priority message.
Mobile-Terminated Short Message Example
259
Figure 3 depicts the successful MT-SM scenario. For convenience, the GSM method is illustrated.
260
261
1. The short message is submitted from the SME to the SMSC. 2. After completing its internal processing, the SMSC interrogates the HLR and receives the routing information for the mobile subscriber. 3. The SMSC sends the short message to the MSC using the forward Short Message operation.
262
4. The MSC retrieves the subscriber information from the VLR. This operation may include an authentication procedure. 5. The MSC transfers the short message to the MS. 6. The MSC returns to the SMSC the outcome of the forward Short Message operation. 7. If requested by the SME, the SMSC returns a status report indicating delivery of the short message.
Mobile-Originated Short Message Example
263
Figure 4 depicts the successful MO-SM scenario. For convenience, the GSM method is shown.
264
265
1. The MS transfers the SM to the MSC.
2. The MSC interrogates the VLR to verify that the message transfer does not violate the supplementary services invoked or the restrictions imposed.
3. The MSC sends the short message to the SMSC using the forward Short Message operation.
266
4. The SMSC delivers the short message to the SME. 5. The SMSC acknowledges to the MSC the successful outcome of the forward Short Message operation. 6. The MSC returns to the MS the outcome of the MO-SM operation.
SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE
267
The Short Message Service (SMS) provides a means of sending text messages containing up to 160 alphanumerical characters to and from MSs. SMS makes use of a SMS Center (SMS-C), which acts as a store and forward center for short messages. SMS consists of two basic services Mobile Originated SMS : From an SMS-C to an MS.
Mobile Terminated SMS: From an MS to an SMSC.

268
In the two cases described below, the MS is in idle mode. If the MS is in active mode, short message is transmitted on the SACCH. No paging, Call set up, authentication, etc needs to be performed in that case.
Mobile Originated SMS

Mobile Originated SMS transfers a short message submitted by the MS to an SMS-C. It also provides information about the delivery of the short message, either by a delivery report or failure report.
269
270
1. An MS establishes a connection to the network, as in the case of a normal call set-up. This step is not performed if the MS is in active mode, since the connection already exists. 2. If authentication is successful, the MS sends the short message using SDCCH to the SMS-C via the MSC/VLR. The SMS-C in turn forwards the short message to its destination. This could be an MS or a terminal in the fixed network such as a PC.
Mobile Terminated SMS
271
Mobile Terminated SMS has the capability to transfer a short message from the SMS-C to an MS.
272
1. A User sends a message to a SMS-C.
2. The SMS-C sends the message to the SMSGMSC.

3. The SMS-GMSC queries the HLR for routing information 4. The HLR returns routing information to the SMS-GMSC. 5. The SMS-GMSC reroutes the message to the MSC/VLR.
273
6. The MS is paged and a connection is set up between the MS and the network, as in the normal call set up case. 7. If authentication is successful, the MSC/VLR delivers the message to the MS. Short Messages are transmitted on the allocated signalling channel, SDCCH. 8. If the delivery was successful, a report is sent from the MSC/VLR to the SMS-C, if not, the HLR is informed by the MSC/VLR, and a failure report is sent to SMS-C.
274
In the case of an unsuccessful delivery, the SMS-C informs the HLR and VLR that there is a message waiting to be delivered to the MS. The HLR then informs the SMS-C when the MS becomes available.
