Cellular Networks
  Cellular networks are wireless WAN that
   establish a connection between mobile users.
  The network is comprised of many cells that
   typically cover 2 to 20 miles in area.
  The communications are wireless within the cell
   only.
  Many initial cellular network were
   predominantly analog because they were
   primarily targeted for voice users.
  The use of cellular networks to support digital
   applications is increasing rapidly.
Cellular Concept




   Another advantage of several small cells instead of a single transmitter=> frequency reuse:
    better efficiency
         R cell radius and
         D distance at which a frequency can be reused with acceptable interference
Cellular Network Organization
 Areas divided into cells
  o Each served by its own antenna
  o Served by base station consisting of
    transmitter, receiver, and control unit
  o Band of frequencies allocated
  o Cells set up such that antennas of all neighbors
    are equidistant (hexagonal pattern)

Frequency Reuse
 Adjacent cells assigned different
  frequencies to avoid interference or
  crosstalk
 Objective is to reuse frequency in nearby
  cells
  o 10 to 50 frequencies assigned to each cell
  o Transmission power controlled to limit power at
    that frequency escaping to adjacent cells
  o The issue is to determine how many cells must
    intervene between two cells using the same
    frequency
Cellular System Overview
Cellular Systems Terms
 Base Transceiver Station (BTS) also known as
  Base Station (BS)– includes an antenna, a
  controller, and a number of receivers
 Mobile telecommunications switching center
  (MTSC) also known as Mobile Switching
  Center(MSC)– connects calls between mobile
  units
 Two types of channels available between mobile
  unit and BS
  o Control channels – used to exchange information having
    to do with setting up and maintaining calls
  o Traffic channels – carry voice or data connection
    between users
First Generation
First-generation cellular networks were introduced
in the 1980s are primarily intended for voice .
These networks are very slow less than 1 kilobits
per sec(kbps).
The key idea of 1G cellular networks is that the
geographical area is divided into cells ,each served
by a base station.Cells are so small that frequency
reuse is possible in the near by cells.
They are primarily based on analog
communications.
Each phone has 32 bit serial number and 10 digit
phone number in its PROM.
Security issues with 1G
Analog cellular phones are insecure.
Anyone with an all-band radio receiver can listen
in to the conversation.There are also theft of
airtime.
A thief uses an all-band radio receiver that is
connected to a comuter.This computer can record
the 32-bit serial numbers and phone numbers of
subscribers when calling
The thieves can collect a large database by
driving around and then can go into business bu
reprogramming stolen phones and reselling them .
Second Generation
Second generation cellular network introduced in
1980s ,are based on digital transmission.
Primarily intended for voice they also support fax
and email services at low bit-rate(8 to 9 kbps).
The higher 2G systems use GSM(Global System
For Mobile Communication) and low-tier system is
intended for low-cost,low-power,low-mobility.
Digital transmission offer several benefits overe
analog :
 Voice,data such as email and fax can be
integrated into a single system.
Better compression can lead to a better channel
utilization.
Error correction code can be used for better
quality.
Sophisticated encryption can be used.
Differences Between First and
Second Generation Systems
 Digital traffic channels – first-generation systems
  are almost purely analog; second-generation
  systems are digital
 Encryption – all second generation systems
  provide encryption to prevent eavesdropping
 Error detection and correction – second-
  generation digital traffic allows for detection and
  correction, giving clear voice reception
 Channel access – second-generation systems
  allow channels to be dynamically shared by a
  number of users
