Introduction to Cellular Mobile


Communication Unit -1
For EC-VII Sem Students

Prepared by

professor(EC)
Cellular network components
Cellular network components (2)
 BTS (Base Transceiver Station) – main component of a
cell and it connects the subscribers to the cellular
network; for transmission/reception of information it
uses several antennas spread across the cell
 BSC (Basic Station Controller) – it is an interface
between BTSs and it is linked to BTSs by cable or
microwave links; it routes calls between BTSs; it is also
connected to the MSC
 MSC (Mobile Switching Center) – the coordinator of a
cellular network, it is connected to several BSCs, it
routes calls between BSCs; links the cellular network
with other networks like PSTN through fiber optics,
microwave or copper cable
Components of a cellular phone
(MSU – Mobile Subscriber Unit)
 radio transceiver – low power radio transmitter and
receiver
 antenna, usually located inside the phone

 control circuitry – formats the data sent to and from


the BTS; controls signal transmission and reception
 man-machine interface – consists from a keypad and a
display; is managed by the control circuitry
 Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) – integrated circuit
card that stores the identity information of subscriber
 battery, usually Li-ion, the power unit of the phone
Setting up a call process
 when powered on, the phone does not have a frequency/
time slot/ode assigned to it yet; so it scans for the control
channel of the BTS and picks the strongest signal
 then it sends a message (including its identification
number) to the BTS to indicate its presence
 the BTS sends an acknowledgement message back to the
cell phone
 the phone then registers with the BTS and informs the
BTS of its exact location
 after the phone is registered to the BTS, the BTS assigns a
channel to the phone and the phone is ready to receive or
make calls
Making a call process
 the subscriber dials the receiver’s number and sends it to
the BTS
 the BTS sends to its BSC the ID, location and number of
the caller and also the number of the receiver
 the BSC forwards this information to its MSC
 the MSC routes the call to the receiver’s MSC which is
then sent to the receiver’s BSC and then to its BTS
 the communication with the receiver’s cell phone is
established
Receiving a call process
 when the receiver’ phone is in an idle state it listens for
the control channel of its BTS
 if there is an incoming call the BSC and BTS sends a
message to the cells in the area where the receiver’s
phone is located
 the phone monitors its message and compares the
number from the message with its own
 if the numbers matches the cell phone sends an
acknowledgement to the BTS
 after authentication, the communication is established
between the caller and the receiver
