Study Notes
Network Components and Functions
- The Equipment Identity Register (EIR) is responsible for validating mobile equipment separately with IMEI.
Mobile Station Functions
- The Mobile Station does not perform authentication functions.
3G Networks
- Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) is commonly used for 3G networks.
- The minimum spectrum allocation required for W-CDMA is 5 MHz.
TD-SDMA Technology
- In TD-SDMA, interference between neighboring base stations is avoided through synchronization of transmission timing.
Base Transceiver Station (BTS) Functions
- The primary responsibility of a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) is to provide radio coverage and transmit and receive radio signals.
- A BTS does not perform authentication functions.
- Each BTS can typically support 1-3 RF carriers.
Base Station Controller (BSC) Functions
- The primary role of the Base Station Controller (BSC) is to control multiple BTSs.
BTS Identification
- The Cell Identity (CI) parameter is used to differentiate between Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs).
