Study Notes
Cellular Communication Overview
- Mobile stations include a transceiver, antenna, and control circuitry.
- Base stations feature multiple transmitters and receivers for full duplex communications.
- Base stations connect mobile users in a cell to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) via telephone lines or microwave links.
- MSC coordinates base station activities and integrates the cellular system with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
- Communication between mobile users and base stations is facilitated by a common air interface, which allows for a process known as handoff.
Network Architectures
- Access Network Architectures encompass several systems:
- GSM Base Station Subsystem (BSS)
- 3G Radio Network System (RNS)
- 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE)
- Wimax Access Network
- Core Network Architectures focus on:
- Evolved Packet Core (EPC)
- Multimedia Subsystems related to voice communication include:
- IP Voice
- Voice over LTE (VoLTE)
- SIP Servers
Cellular Technology Functionality
- Cellular radio systems enable standard telephone services using two-way radio at remote locations.
- A basic cellular system is created from mobile stations, base stations, and the MSC.
- Mobile stations communicate via radio signals with base stations and can be transferred between multiple base stations during a call, enhancing coverage and service quality.
