Lecture On: Introduction To Cellular Mobile Communication Unit - 1 For EC-VII Sem Students

This document provides an overview of the key components of a cellular network and mobile phone, as well as the processes for setting up, making, and receiving calls. It describes the main cellular network components as the base transceiver station (BTS), base station controller (BSC), and mobile switching center (MSC). It also outlines the components of a cellular phone including the radio transceiver, antenna, control circuitry, user interface, SIM card, and battery. Finally, it summarizes the processes for setting up a call, making a call, and receiving a call in a cellular network.

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
