Signalling in GSM
The various entities in the GSM network are connected to one another through signalling networks. Signalling is used for example, for subscriber mobility, subscriber registration, call establishment, etc. The connections to the various entities are known as ‘reference points’. Examples include:
• A interface – the connection between MSC and BSC;
• Abis interface – the connection between BSC and BTS;
• D interface – the connection between MSC and HLR;
• Um interface – the radio connection between MS and BTS.
Various signalling protocols are used over the reference points. Some of these protocols for GSM are the following:
• Mobile application part (MAP) – MAP is used for call control, subscriber registration, short message service, etc.; MAP is used over many of the GSM network interfaces;
• Base station system application part (BSSAP)– BSSAP is used over the A interface;
• Direct transfer application part (DTAP)– DTAP is used between MS and MSC; DTAP is carried over the Abis and the A interface. DTAP is specified in GSM TS 04.08 [49];
• ISDN user part (ISUP) – ISUP is the protocol for establishing and releasing circuit switched calls. ISUP is also used in landline Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). A circuit is the data channel that is established between two users in the network. Within ISDN, the data channel is generally a 64 Kbps channel.
The circuit is used for the transfer of the encoded speech or other data. ISUP is specified in ITU-T Q.763 [137]. When it comes to call establishment, GSM makes a distinction between signalling and payload. Signalling refers to the exchange of information for call set up; payload refers to the data that is transferred within a call, i.e. voice, video, fax etc.
For a mobile terminated GSM call, the signaling consists of exchange of MAP messages between GMSC, HLR and visited MSC (VMSC). The payload is transferred by the ISUP connection between GMSC and VMSC. It is a continue aim to optimize the payload transfer through the network, as payload transfer has a direct cost aspect associated with it. Some network services are designed to optimize the payload transfer. One example is optimal routing.
BSC - Base Station Control
BSC is a communicator between the MSC and a number of RBS. One or more torture in the system switching can be controlled by one MSC. BSC control each BTS / RBS to transmitter performance and implementation of handover to other cells in the areas of torture itself. Handover is the ability of MS to get a better signal quality when MS move from one cell to another cell.
Handover BTS / RBS there are two types:
Intra Cell Handover:
Handover, which occurred in the same cell.
Inter Cell Handover:
Handover in a different cell. There are two methods used to connect between the TRC and the BSC in the BSS Ericson, namely:
- BSC / TRC is a combination between the BSC and the TRC on the same Ax. This system is suitable for medium capacity applications and high sample area network and urban and sub-urban. Part of this can handle until 1020 TRX.15 BSC remote can be expensive from a BSC / TRC.
-BSC and TRC standalone.
Standalone-BSC without a transcoder is used for applications low and sub-urban. BSC can be handle to 300 TRX. While the TRC can standalone handled 16 BSC remote.
The main functions of BSC during the call include:
Locating
Evaluating the relationship to the radio MS and if necessary, suggest handover to the other direction. This handover decision based on the results of the measurement of the quality of the signal received by MS.
Handover
The function of locating recommend to the handover, BSC will automatically take over the cell which will be in handover and will start the handover process. Switching is done to provide good quality signal to the MS.
Frequency hopping
Frequency random that is done on a sector with the aim to prevent interference as a result of almost the same frequency of the BTS / RBS other.
Dynamic Power Control in MS and RBS
BSC takes into account the output power to the BTS and MS / RBS based on measurements received from the uplink and Downlink every 480 ms to maintain the quality of a good relationship.
Other functions BSC
• Radio Network Management: Contains cell data and information system for cell in the BSC.
• Radio Base Station Management: To configuration Matching Cell equipment with RBS, the system between RBS and torture must be the same as well as for the election hardwared. RBS Management also handle software maintenance device RBS and RBS.
• just Rate Adaption: transcoding is the conversion process information from PCM code (A / D converter) to the information in the speech GSM Coder. Rate Adaption convert information on the receiving end of the MSC / VLR at a speed of 64 Kbps, which comprises 16 Kbps from 13Kbps to 3Kbps to traffic and signaling information. If the Rate Adaption or without adjustment speed link to the BSC will be a four-speed data capabilities.
• Tranceiver Handling: handle signaling to the radio at RBS.
• BSC manage the functions of all the GSM radio from Ericson GSM system, include:
- Controls Channel radio.
- Movement / MS movement.
- Collecting data configuration cell.
- Collecting statistical data on the number of calls, handover and traffic per cell.
MS-Mobile Station
MS-Mobile Station Wireless communication devices that use the air interface which is the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) that connects customers with the BTS. MS consists of:
ME (Mobile Equipment)
ME consists of the radio functions and user interface and terminal equipment to the other. ME identification have a serial number called IMEI.
SIM (Subcriber Identity Module)
Contains information about users that can be used with ME. Access to that used to form a GSM smart card that can control various functions. There are a number of others in the SIM IMSI, TMSI, Ki, Algorithm A3 and A8, memory phone number, PIN. Communication that occurs from the MS to the BTS (Base Station Transceiver) is a radio communication through electromagnetic waves, and in transmitter MS from the antenna to antenna receiver in the BTS through the air interface.
Consists of 2 channels on the air interface channel on the GSM namely:
• UP Link (MS to the BTS) 890 - 915 MHz.
• Down Link (BTS to MS) 935 - 960 MHz.
MSC-Mobile Switching Center
Mobile Service Switching Center have important functions in switching communication in the entire MS in the MSC area. Such as setting up, routing, supervising calls to and from MS.
MSC-Mobile Service Switching Center functions:
- Establish a connection and traffic signaling.
- Billing: Recording of the duration of speech.
- Pagging: The process of giving signals to the BTS, which has the frequency with the same frequency signal MSC issued with the purpose to find the Subscriber calling.
- Handover: This process can also occur in the MSC. The process of handover to the MSC called the inter handover MSC.
- Access to the data base to PLMN (VLR, HLR, EIR).
- Implement security functions.
Data Transmision MSC contains Interface (DTI), which is implemented on a GSM interworking function (IWF). DTI to handle data functions such as data conversion rate.
MSC / VLR implemented on AXE as follows:
• MSS (Mobile Switching Subsystem) handle and to set up the call, charging implemented for supporting function and the gateway GMSC on roaming.
• MMS (Mobile Mobility and Radio Subsystem) handle up date location, authentication and chippering access to all the radio. handle requests handover and paging. Save information about the cell and torture.
• MMS creation (Mobile Data Subsystem) Save the data received by the HLR.
• SHA (Short Message Service Subsystem) Contains the Short Message Service (SMS).
BTS-Base Transceiver Station
Base Transceiver StationEach BTS coverage to a specific area. Here is a geographical BTS:
Cell
An area served by one BTS. MS will differentiate each cell that is by using the BSIC (Base Station Identification Code).
Local Area (LA)
The combination of several cell. One local area is also a region where pagging message emanating Subscriber to find it's correct. In one LA, there are more than one BTS, depending on one or more of the BSC and one still in the MSC / VLR.
PLMN service area (Public Line Mobile Network)
The combination of some of LA, which provides telecommunications service.
GSM service area
Regional network interconnection services, the GSM network.
MSC service area:
A geographic area from the GSM network coverage area is served by one MSC. Each MS can enter this area when it is registered in the VLR (Visitor Location Register) BTS is a radio device that is required to serve one cell. BTS system contain antenna, RF Power Amplifiers and Digital Equipment Signalling.
Intra BSC Handover
The process that occurs during the handover intra BSC as follows:
A). During the call, MS will measure the strength and quality of the signal on the TCH and the signal strength from the neighboring cell. MS to evaluate and assess the average for each cell.
MS send the results to the BTS measurements every two times in one second cell not only on their own but also the results of measurements from the BTS neighboring cell.
B). The BTS will send the results of measurements on the TCH to the BSC. In the BSC, the function is activated when the placement is required to handover to another cell.
C). When the handover is done, BSC will check whether the channel had requested be met by another cell, if not the BSC will be the new BTS to enable TCH.
D). BSC will ask the BTS for a long time to send a message to MS with information about the frequency, time slot, and the output power for the change.
E). MS choose a new frequency handover and access to the appropriate time slot.
F). When the BTS to detect the handover, the BTS will send the information contains the physical "timing advance" (the distance between MS to the BTS) to MS. BTS also inform the BSC to send a "message HO detection" so that point on the new GS is connected.
G). MS send a "HO complete message."
H). Last time the BTS ordered not to activate the old TCH.
Intra BSC Handover
Inter BSC Handover
If the MS move the area that these new areas in the Covered BSC with the other inter BSC the handover will occur.
A). Based on the results of the measurement of MS, BSC, which will be long decided to handover to the BSC. BSC from a long handover request will be sent to the MSC along with the identity of the new cell.
B). BSC / MSC knows where that control the BTS and send request handover to the BSC this (new BSC).
C). The new BSC ordered BTS to enable TCH.
D). When the BTS have the TCH, BSC, which sends information about the new time slot, frequency, and the output power to the MSC.
E). MSC forward this information to the BSC that long.
Inter BSC HandoverF). MS was ordered to move to the new TCH.
G). MS send a handover to the new TCH.
H). Immediately after the handover BTS detect physical and send the information contains "Timing advance" and the output power to MS.
I). BSC confirm that the new BTS has received handover.
J). This information is forwarded to the MSC through the BSC, which has been shifting its point in the GS.
K). MSC inform BSC long time to turn off the TCH.
L). TCH old will be disabled in the next BTS.
Inter MSC Handover
During the call MS possible to move between several different MSC. Here is the procedure handover inter MSC:
A). BSC to send a request to the MSC handover.
B). MSC must ask the MSC which will serve for the next MS.
C). The MSC will send a new request handover to the new BSC also.
D). BSC new request to activate the new BTS TCH.
E). MSC receive information about new TCH from the new BSC.
F). MSCS forward this information to the MSC long.
G). Talking point in the new setup by the MSC.
H). "Handover command message" sent to the MS with information about the frequency of information, timeslot used in the new cells.
I). MS send a handover to the new TCH. When the BTS to detect the handover, the BTS will send the information contains "Timing Advance" to MS.
J). The new MSC, informed that the handover has been successful, and this information is sent to the MSC long.
K). Point in the new GS set up in the MSC long, and calls can be made. TCH long will the disabled.
GSM Technology
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), is a digital technology, as well as with the split of the available spectrum to Discrete number of channels that remain, although each channel represents a fixed time slot than the band frequency that remain.
For example, which is a TDMA technology to GSM, Carriers that share the bandwidth into 2300 Khz eight time-division channel. GSM (global system for mobile) technology that is based TDMA.
Measuring Distances to Satellites
Time Is Distance
Have you noticed that during a thunderstorm, you hear the sound sometime after you see the light? The reason is that sound waves travel much slower than light waves. We can estimate our distance to the storm by measuring the delay between the time that we see the thunder and the time that we hear it.
Multiplying this time delay by the speed of sound gives us our distance to the storm (assuming that the light reaches us almost instantaneously compared to sound). Sound travels about 344 meters (1,130 feet) per second in air. So if it takes 2 seconds between the time that we see the lightning and the time that we hear it, our distance to the storm is 2 x 344 = 688 meters.
We are calculating the distance to an object by measuring the time that it takes for its signal to reach us. In the above example, the time that we see the lightning is the time that the sound waves are generated in the storm. Then we start to measure the delay until the time that we hear the sound. In this example, the light is our start signal.
Free GPS Navigation for Google Android
Google provides navigation applications based on Gglobal Positioning System (GPS) is free for smartphones that use the Android platform. Application called Google Maps Navigation will be available first on Motorola Droid which will be released for Verizon in the U.S., November 6, 2009.
Compared to general navigation applications, Google Maps Navigation has a number of advantages. New applications that can work on Android operating system 2.0 is not only provides standard features like GPS navigation applications display three-dimensional maps and directions with voice guidance.
However, the application also provides other features such as voice search, traffic information, satellite map, "street view", to photograph the object goals. In fact, with this application, users can find routes to a number of important locations such as gas stations or restaurants.
Google Maps Navigation presence is expected to be a major competitor navigation solutions are already widely available on the market. For example an application made by Garmin or TomTom. With that one application, call Verizon Motorola Droid as a challenger to Apple iPhone and BlackBerry-made Research In Motion.

Packet Data Using GPRS-General Packet Radio Service
GPRS NetworksGPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a technology that allows sending and receiving data more quickly compared with the use of technology Circuit Switch Data, or CSD. This uses GPRS technology, 2.5 G GPRS system can be used to transfer data in the form of packages associated with e-mail, data, pictures (MMS) and browsing the Internet.
GPRS service is installed on the type of mobile phone GSM and IS-136, although the current GPRS network separate from the GSM. GPRS is a packet-based transmission system for GSM, which uses principles of 'Tunneling'. It offers a data rate that is higher. Data rate up to 160 kbps. This chanel is used together with other users, so more efficient. In terms of cost, only to the volume of use.
Cost issued by the user depending on the number of bytes of data sent or received, without considering the many calls and user used this service. GPRS is a technology that allows the operator to offer mobile communication network and data service with bit rate higher with the low tariffs, making the data services become attractive to consumers.
The communications network operators now see the move GPRS as a key to developing mobile communications market into new competitors in the land that was once owned cable network, namely, internet services.
This condition is possible because the explosion of the Internet through the network cable (the phone) can also be done through the network move. As an illustration, a small, mobile services which has become successful in the market, for example weather reports, ordering food, sports, news and information to such important news daily.
In theory promises to GPRS speeds ranges from 56 kbps to 115 kbps, allowing Internet access, multimedia delivery data to the computer, notebook faster than dialup connection. This explains why in certain time and access to certain locations in GPRS very slow, even slower access from the CSD, which has 9.6 Kbps speed.
This may be because the channel is used simultaneously so that the bandwidth received a little more. The rapid growth of mobile communications to encourage the operators services to enrich the race in order to increase the range of services income for the company while still maintaining customer assets.
Mobile data communications, mainly for Internet access, it appears now become the main force. The introduction of WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) has shown potential as a wireless Internet service.
WAP is a global open protocol that allows users to access services on-line from the small screen on the mobile phone using built-in browser. WAP work on various mobile network technology, which Mass market allows for the creation of mobile data services.
Now that needed a technology that is able to provide faster access and The ability are always connected to the network (always' on '). Overview that this would attract the operators. Here is a GPRS offers solutions for demand technology as mentioned above, namely, can to give the operators the opportunity to provide more data services efficient and the data rate higher and introduce services new to compensate for the decline in communications costs per minute.
Obviously, GPRS allows customers to create the phase relationship faster, stay connected permanently, using the speed of data more high and only pay the cost of each bit is transferred only. Consider clearly, that the trend of the market would not lead to any technology which is precisely to increase the cost or subscription rates.
In addition, all technology related to new services that will be marketed able to be implemented in the tools high volume (many used so that it can be produced large-scale) that the price cheap, such as phone The move is very simple and two-way radio call.

1. PIN (P-Intrinsic-N).
2. APD ( Avalanche Photo Diode).
As well as the optical transmitter, the optical material also consists of semiconductor. Combined with a transmitter Gallium Arsenide (GaAS), quartz and silica fiber (SiO2) and silica (Si) receiver.
PIN diode
In the PIN diode, optical fiber is placed so that the light received a fall on the intrinsic layer of semiconductor material that placed between the layers and the types of N-type and P-type. Junction diode is formed by coating a layer, this reverse-biased and the amount of cash that flows through junction is determined by intensity light (photon number) in the entry intrinsic layer. Variations in cash that flows through the PIN diode as a result of variations in the intensity of the optical signal is received is very small so that the need strengthening.

Avalanche photo diode
Have a similar construction and operate the same way PIN diode. However, APD does not need a brace effect on the field in the module recipient. Internal gain of APD to create more sensitive, obtained through the use of reverse-biased voltage on the diode junction high. This produce an electric field in the layer of high intrinsic diode.
APD diodeAt the time an electron removed because of a photon into the intrinsic layer, electric field will cause electrons to move along the layer and a high speed impact with another molecules and release more electrons, which then move along layer with a high speed. This process is called avalanche breakdown. Benefits of the use of avalanche breakdown is increased sensitivity compared with the PIN diode.

CDMA 2000 1X EV-DO
CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), namely Multiple Access techniques that separate communications in the domain code. CDMA is a digital technology without cable (Digital Wirless Technology), which first made by United States companies - Qualcomm CDMA is a some use of different frequency spectrum without any double-talk.
This causes the CDMA more resistant to interference and noise. To mark users that use the same frequency spectrum, CDMA use The unique code that is PRCS (Pseudo - Random Code Sequence) In contrast with FDMA (frequency Division Multiple Access) and TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), then use the CDMA and Frequency in the same access for each user.
The use of frequency and time of the same cause CDMA is vulnerable to interference. The greater the interference that occurs CDMA is a small capacity. CDMA bring great benefits that are above and similar technology another at this time. CDMA network offers the largest capacity for to serve more customers with the cost of the same infra-structure.
CDMA offer data transmission speeds higher among others. Every user / assign the user with the number of binary code, called Direct Sequence (DCS) when the call occurred. DCS is a signal raised by Linear modulation with wideband Pseudorandom Noise (PN) Sequence, so the Direct Sequence CDMA wider use signal from the FDMA and TDMA.
Wideband signal to reduce the work interesting and can make frequency reuse between cell progress. All the users are together in the range the radio frequency spectrum. These codes are divided on MS and BS called Psendorandom Noise (PN)

Advantages of CDMA 2000-1X
1). CDMA is resistant to interference and weather interference, therefore, very low noise CDMA so The sound quality is very good. Even in the pouring rain, which is also the sound quality is still within the limit that can still be tolerated.
2). CDMA can not be duplicated / cloned, because each customer is given different code (unique). This code is very difficult to track because they arerandom.
3). The capacity of CDMA subscribers per BTS can reach 6000 (10 times GSM). This is more economical in the CDMA frequency of use. All BTS CDMA operates on the same frequency, so it does not require The calculation of the complex in configuration. The amount of capacity per BTS make investment costs are very low.
In addition CDMA-2000 (1X) operating in the 800 MHz frequency spectrum. This will make extensive coverage of the BTS far greater than GSM. So that only require less extensive coverage of the BTS for the same if compared with GSM.
4). Power transmitter, which is very low (1 / 100 GSM) allows mobile phones CDMA baterei economical in consumption, so it can operate longer to talk and standby.
5). CDMA-2000 (1X) can send data at speeds of up to 144 Kbps, while GSM 9.6 Kbps. So that services can support SMS, MMS, gaming and down load data via the Internet.
Forward Traffic Channel
This channel traffic to bring the Phone call and bring voice and form the MS (mobile Station) power to control information to the BS (Base Station) device customers. Forward Channel CDMA 2000 1X Forward channels include power control and power control bits that work for ask MS mobile Station) to raise or lower power transmitter.
The length of the frame forward channels of 20 ms, which is divided into 16 channels, each of 1,25 ms. tracks. Each channel has the power to control the power control bit, where the speed of fast reverse power is 800 bps.
Google Will Set Up an Online Store For The Future
The proliferation of online stores initiated by some phone vendors also make Google moved to create a similar service. Yes, the giant search engine and other software makers are rumored to be establishing their own online stores. Google is rumored to be starting this project in mid-March this year by holding third-party developers to make it happen together. In contrast to the Android Market, which is more dedicated to the application operating system, Google's applications store the user focused on Gmail and Google Docs to buy add-ons feature in their services.
"Google Solutions Marketplace is very easy to use for consumers to be linked to ecosystem products and professional services. We currently working with partners to provide other solutions for businesses," wrote Google spokeswoman. Google expects, this store became the new land for three Google developers in marketing applications. Although it is unknown how large a share of profits will be given. As an illustration, Apple agreed with the developers for the 70 to the maker, and 30 percent for Apple. Unfortunately, there is no clearer specifications about Google's online store, which seems to be dominated for the Google service that is enterprise. Including, among others the date of the launch of this store certainty.
