History

  • Mobile Communication: transmission of signals and

b t t ti f hi h t l t i bil messages between stations from which at least one is mobile

  • Goes back to the 1920’s: public wireless radio system
  • perated by the train in Germany (Reichsbahn)

  • 1957 first mobile telecommuncation system in Germany

(nowadays called PLMTS stands for Public Land Mobile Telecommunications System) so called A-system, manually switched, 137 calling zones

  • 1972 start of operation of the B-System, automatic switching,

but separate phone number in each calling zone (i.e. one had but separate phone number in each calling zone (i.e. one had to know who is where, if that one is to be called)

History

  • 1981 first analog cellular system with fixed number for

b ib t ti h d b t ll NMT 450 i subscribers, automatic handover between cells. NMT 450 in

  • Scandinavia. This is sometimes called 1st generation (1G).
  • 1981 C-Netz in Germany, analog, in operation until 2001

  • 1982 work begins on a standard for a pan-European digital

PLMTS which offers new services (SMS, call forwarding, …) by Group Speciale mobile (GSM) by Group Speciale mobile (GSM)

  • 1987 "Memorandum of Understanding" signed by 18

countries to deploy „GSM“ (now “Global System for Mobile Communication”). In 1988 the standards were taken over by ETSI (European Telecommunication Standards Institute). This is a system of the 2nd Generation (2G) y ( )

Synchronization of an MS with a network (procedure lasts 2-20 sec) BTS FDMA i ( l t 200kH b d)

  • BTS uses an FDMA carrier (one complete 200kHz band) as a

base channel

  • On this channel the BTS transmits with maximum power, i.e.

p every single time slot in a frame is filled, most of them with a dummy burst

  • The MS looks for a FCCH on this base channel
  • The MS looks for a FCCH on this base channel
  • If the FCCH has been found the MS can synchronise on

frequency and time and look for the BCCH in the same frequency band.

  • BCCH contains information, e.g. for describing the current control

channel structure and other information about the network and channel structure and other information about the network and how to gain access

Generation 2 (2G) – GSM Handover

  • If an MS in operation moves from one cell to another, a handover

procedure takes place procedure takes place

  • The BTS tells the MS on the base channel a list of channels of

neighbouring cells

  • The MS constantly measures the signal levels for these channels
  • f neighbouring base stations
  • The signal levels of the own cell and those of the neighbouring
  • The signal levels of the own cell and those of the neighbouring

cells are reported back by the MS to the own BTS

  • If handover is necessary, i.e. the signal quality of a neighbouring

cell is significantly better than the own one, handover will be performed
