Cell Phone Growth in Pakistan & Worldwide
According to a Media Report (Goliath, May 25, 2005), Cell
Phones in Pakistan to Touch 15M mark in December 2005
Another Media Report (Middle East Times, June 20, 2006)
Predicts the number of Cell Phones will rise from 2.2 Billion to 3
Billion worldwide by the end of Year 2008
According to MOBILEDIA (Jan 20, 2006)
U.S. offers more room for growth than Russia, and Japan offers greater
future growth than South Africa
The number of mobile subscribers worldwide reached over 2 billion by the
end of 2005, and is predicted to rise to 3.96 billion by 2011
The Asia Pacific Region will account for 50% of the total number of
subscribers worldwide by the end of this decade with a staggering 1.067
billion subscribers shared between China and India alone, the world's two
biggest mobile markets

An Introduction
Cordless Telephone System: To Connect a Fixed
Base Station to a Portable Cordless Handset
Early Systems (1980s) have very limited range of few tens of
meters [within a House Premises]
Modern Systems [PACS, DECT, PHS, PCS] can provide a limited
range & mobility within Urban Centers

An Introduction
Limitations of Simple Mobile Radio Systems
The Cellular Approach
Divides the Entire Service Area into Several Small Cells
Reuse the Frequency
Basic Components of a Cellular Telephone System
Cellular Mobile Phone: A light-weight hand-held set which is an
outcome of the marriage of Graham Bell’s Plain Old Telephone
Technology [1876] and Marconi’s Radio Technology [1894] [although a
very late delivery but very cute]
Base Station: A Low Power Transmitter, other Radio Equipment
[Transceivers] plus a small Tower
Mobile Switching Center [MSC] /Mobile Telephone
Switching Office[MTSO]
An Interface between Base Stations and the PSTN
Controls all the Base Stations in the Region and Processes User ID and
other Call Parameters
A typical MSC can handle up to 100,000 Mobiles, and 5000 Simultaneous
Calls
Handles Handoff Requests, Call Initiation Requests, and all Billing & System

An Introduction
Cellular Mobile Communications-I
An Introduction
The Cellular Concept
RF spectrum is a valuable and scarce commodity
RF signals attenuate over distance
Cellular network divides coverage area into cells, each
served by its own base station transceiver and antenna
Low (er) power transmitters used by BSs; transmission
range determines cell boundary
RF spectrum divided into distinct groups of channels
Adjacent cells are (usually) assigned different channel
groups to avoid interference
Cells separated by a sufficiently large distance to avoid
mutual interference can be assigned the same channel group
frequency reuse among co-channel cells
Cellular Mobile Communications-I
An Introduction
An Example of Frequency Reuse
Suppose we have spectrum
for 100 voice channels
Scenario 1: a high power
base station covering entire
area – system capacity = 100
channels
Scenario 2: divide spectrum
into 4 groups of 25 channels
each; cells (1, 7), (2, 4), (3,
5), 6 are assigned distinct
channel groups – system
capacity = 175 channels
Cellular Mobile Communications-I
An Introduction
Frequency Reuse Factor
Frequency Reuse Factor N = No. of Distinct Channel Groups = Maximum Cluster Size
Cellular Mobile Communications-I
An Introduction
Frequency Reuse Example-2
Suppose W = 25 MHz and B = 25 KHz/voice channel
W/B = 1000 voice channels can be supported over the spectrum
Scenario 1: a high power base station covering entire area (M = N = 1)
system capacity n = 1000 users
Scenario 2:
Coverage area divided into M = 20 cells with reuse factor N = 4
Each cluster accommodate 1000 active users
5 clusters in coverage area system capacity n = 5000 users
Scenario 3:
M = 100 cells, N = 4 system capacity n = 25000 users
Scenario 4:
M = 100 cells, N = 1 system capacity n = 100000 users

An Introduction
Common Air Interface (CAI)
Common Air Interface: A Standard
that defines Communication between a
Base Station and Mobile
Specifies Four Channels [Voice
Channels and Control / Setup
Channels]
Reverse Channel
FVC: Forward Voice Channel
RVC: Reverse Voice Channel
FCC: Forward Control Channel
RCC: Reverse Control Channel

Cellular Mobile Communications-I
An Introduction
Call Setup Procedure
Cellular Phone Codes: Special Codes are associated with each Cell
Phone to identify the phone, its owner, and service provider:
Electronic Serial Number(ESN) -A Unique 32-bit Code
Mobile Identification Number(MIN): A Subscriber’s Telephone Number
Station Class mark (SCM): Indicates the Max Tx Power for the User
When a Cellular Phone is turned on and Initiates a Call:[see
next slide]
Monitors the Control Channels and gets hold on to the strongest one
Makes a Call Initiation Request[Dials the Called part Number, MIN , ESN and SCM
automatically transmitted]
Validation Procedure at MSC & Voice-Frequency pair Allocation
Base Station Pages the Information for the Mobile
MSC Connects the Mobile with the Called Party[Another Mobile/Landline Phone]
Call is Established and Communication Starts

An Introduction
Handoff and Roaming
Handoff
When a Mobile is on the edge of a Cell
RSL of the Mobile in that Cell gets bellow a set Level
Base Station of the Cell originates a Handoff request
MSC gets RSL Info from all the Candidate Cells
MSC asks the Originating Cell and the Strongest
Candidate Cell to Coordinate
In Case the Handoff is Successful, the Mobile is asked
to switch to another VFP
All this happens in a matter of seconds and you hear a
little CLICK sound
Roaming
When SID of the Control Channel and that
programmed in the Mobile does not match:
The Mobile is in another Service Provider’s Area
MSC of the Cell contacts the MSC of the Mobile’s
Home System
After Verification, if the Mobile is Allowed, the new
MSC is ready to Serve.

over number of Discrete Frequencies
available at any time in a specified range
Receiver uses the same unique Code
to Recover the Speech Data
GPS used for Exact Time Stamp

Channel Space as one Analogue Channel
An Access Technology for 3G Mobile
Systems[IMT-2000]
Supports both Bands [800 MHz and
1900 MHz]
Cellular Mobile Communications-I
An Introduction
Cellular System vs. Personal Communication
System/Network (PCS/PCN)
Personal Communication Services [PCS] is a system, very similar
to Cellular Phone Service with great emphasis on personal
services (such as Paging, Caller ID, and E-mail] and mobility
Originated in UK, to improve its competitiveness in the field
PCS has smaller Cell size, therefore, requires more infra-structure
PCS works in 1.85-1.99 GHz band
PCS uses TDMA Technology but with 200 KHz Channel Bandwidth
with eight time-slots[as compared to 30 KHz and 3 time-slots used
by Digital Cellular Phone System IS-54/IS-136]
GSM and Cellular Digital Packet Data[CDPD] also use PCS Tech.
Cellular Mobile Communications-I
An Introduction
Dual Band/Dual Mode Cellular Phones
Dual Band Phone:
Supports both bands 800 MHz and
Dual Mode Phone:
Supports both FDMA and TDMA Access
1900 MHz
Technologies
Dual Band/Dual Mode Phone: Supports both Bands
and Both Access Technologies
Tri-Mode Phone: It can Support FDMA/TDMA/CDMA all
Access Tech. A popular version of Tri-Mode Cellular Phone is the
one which supports GSM [800 MHz as well as 1900 MHz (USA
version)] as well as FDMA.
Cellular Mobile Communications-I
An Introduction

Communications
PCS/PCN: PCS calls for more personalized services whereas
PCN refers to Wireless Networking Concept-any person,
anywhere, anytime can make a call using PC. PCS and PCN
terms are sometime used interchangeably
IEEE 802.11: A standard for computer communications using
wireless links[inside building].
ETSI’s 20 Mbps HIPER LAN: Standard for indoor Wireless
