17. Difference between GSM and TETRA
T E T R A G S M
•Designed for professional mobile
radio applications.
•Designed for public cellular
telephony.
•Based on TDMA – Economy on
frequency spectrum.
•Based on FDMA and TDMA.
•Suitable for emergency services due
to very fast call set up time (<300 ms).
•Not suitable for emergency services
(Call set up time ~ a few seconds).
•Maintain privacy and mutual security. •Do not maintain privacy and mutual
security.
•Direct Mode Operation(DMO) is
possible, which supports voice and
data transmission without a Base
Station between Radio Terminals.
•Direct Mode Operation(DMO) is not
possible.

28. 5G begins in 2020
•IoT: Internet of Things
•IPv6 support (128 bits)
•Millimeter Wave
•Nano Core (Cloud Computing)
•Phased Array Antennas
•Mobile works as repeaters
•Needles of HO (Mobile connects multi eNB)
30. Clustering (2G only)
•2G uses neighboring cells with different frequencies
•we need to reuse frequency to avoid interference
•Clusters is formulated as sites/cells
Number of frequencies
per site
Traffic Channels
C/I Ratio
3/9 High High Low
4/12 Medium Medium Medium
7/21 Low Low High
C/I: Carrier to Interference Ratio
Distance between 2 cells with same frequency
32. No clustering needed in 3G
•Because of using of scrambling technique
•It uses code/user & code/service in UL
•It uses code/user & code/cell in DL
•So we have intra frequency HO in 3G

•2.5G: Off – Idle – Standby – Ready
•3G Known (RRM) Radio Resource Management:
•Off – Idle – Cell DCH – Cell FACH – Cell PCH – URA PCH
The last four considered Connected
49. Location Update
•Each country divided into MSC Areas
•(MAN: States/Provinces/Counties)
•Each MSC Area divided into BSC Areas
(Location Areas) Each has LAI
In PS Each Location Area divided into Routing Areas each
has RAI
•Each BSC Area divided into BTS Areas (Cells)
50. Ex: Location Update intra MSC
BSC
.1The Mobile sends an allocation request
message to the BTS
2. The BTS responds with the allocation
message
3. The mobile sends a location update request
message with its IMSI to the MSC/VLR
4
4. The MSC/VLR updates the location
information and sends a Location Update
confirmation message

51. Handover
Handover: Mobility within one operator (1 HLR)
•2GHO Types
•1- Intra BSC Inter BTS
•2- Intra MSC Inter BSC
3- Inter MSC
(All are HHO: a discontinuity in call because of Inter
Frequencies)
52. BSC
Serving Cell New Cell
.1The BSC decides from the power measurement reports
that the call must be handed over to another cell
2
2. The BSC checks for an vacant TCH in the
new cell and orders this cell to activate the TCH
3
3. The BSC orders the serving cell to send
a message to the MS telling the information
of new TCH
4. The MS tunes to the new frequency and
Sends handover access burst
4
5. The new cell detects the handover burst
and sends information about the suitable
timing advance to the MS
5
6. The MS sends a HO complete message to the new cell
6
7. The new cell sends a message to the BSC that the handover is successful
7
8. The BSC orders the old Cell to release the TCH
8
Ex: Intra BSC Handover
