    Voice transmitted both directions simultaneously (one way on each pair)

    Connects switching center to switching center

    Voice digitization and multiplexing

    Analog voice waveform is sampled 8000 times per second

    Each sample is converted into an 8-bit code

    DS0 is a 64Kbit per second representation of 1 voice

    DS1 multiplexes 24DS0s plus 1 sync bit onto a 1.5 Mbps highway

    T1 is a US standard 4 wire trunk that carries 1 DS1 (24x64Kbps)

    E1 is a CCITT standard 4 wire trunk that carries 32X64Kbps

    Mobile Switching Center(Switch) is a matchmaker between the cellular

    system and the rest of the world, or between two subscribers within the

    same cellular system. It is also an accountant keeping track of the subscribers

    and their usage (bills).

    The Mobility Manager (MM) is a dispatcher, controlling the flow of calls,

    allocating channels, and keeping certain records. It is also responsible for

    keeping track of all of the physical devices in the Base Transceiver Stations

    and managing faults that occur in them.

    The Transcoder (XC) is primarily interpreter translating between two forms of

    digitized speech: the Mobile Stations vocoded compressed speech,

    and the uncompressed PCM format of the Mobile Switching Center

    and the Public Telephone Network.

    The Base Transceiver Station (BTS) (also called the Base Station or the Cell

    Site) is a radio station that conveys messages and voice between the Transcoder

    and the Mobile Station. The Base Transceiver Station transmits and receives on

    channels of two types:

    1:) a Traffic Channel (TCH) which is used for voice or data and

    2:) a Paging and Access Channel (PG-ACC) which is used for call setup.

    Mobile Originated Phone Call

    Step 1 - Customer turns on Mobile Station, dials digits, and presses SND.

    Step 2 - Mobile Station searches for strongest Base Transceiver Station

    (BTS) signal and sends message to BTS. Message includes the

    customers directory number, the serial number of the Mobile

    Station, the dialed digits and the authentication data(for data/fax calls).

    Step 3 - BTS acknowledges receipt ofMobile Stations message.

    Step 4 - BTS passes Mobile Stations request on to the Mobility Manager.

    Step 5 - Mobility Managerpasses Mobile Stations request on to the Mobile

    Switching Center.

    Step 6 - MobileSwitching Centerselects a Terrestrial Circuit to carry the call

    and forwards the circuit identification to the Mobility Manager.

    Step 7 - Mobility Managerforwards Terrestrial Circuit identification to

    Transcoder.

  • 7/31/2019 Xsupercell_training-read for Basics

    27/39

    Step 8 - Mobility Managerselects a Traffic Channel (MCC and CE) and

    a Walsh Code to carry the call and orders the Transcoderto

    connect a transcoder circuit to the selected BTS and Traffic

    Channel.

    Step 9 - Transcodersends message to the selected BTS telling it which

    Traffic Channel and Walsh Code to use.

    Step 10 - BTS starts transmitting on Traffic Channel and sends message to

    Mobile Station telling it which Walsh Code to receive.

    Step 11 - Mobile Station starts receiving and transmitting on Traffic

    Channel.

    Step 12 - Transcoderdetects communication with Mobile Station and

    sends acknowledgement to Mobile Station.

    Step 13 - Mobile Station acknowledges back.

    Mobile Originated Phone Call

    Step 14 - Transcoderorders Mobile Station to switch to voice mode and start

    QCELP coding.

    Step 15 - Mobile Station starts vocoding and sends acknowledgement

    message to Transcoder.

    Step 16 - Transcoderconnects chosen terrestrial circuit to transcoder circuit

    and sends message to Mobility Managersaying that radio connectionwas successful.

    Step 17 - Mobility Managersends message to Switch saying that radio

    connection was successful.

    Step 18 - MobileSwitching Centertells Mobility Managerthat ringing isgoing on and provides ringback tone on terrestrial circuit for

    customer to hear.

    Step 19 - When called party answers, MobileSwitching Centersends

    connect message to Mobility Manager.

    FDMA (frequency division multiple access) is the division of the frequency band

    allocated forwirelesscellular telephone communication into 30 channels, each of

    which can carry a voice conversation or, with digital service, carry digital data.

    FDMA is a basic technology in the analog Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS

    ), the most widely-installed cellular phone system installed in North America. WithFDMA, each channel can be assigned to only one user at a time. FDMA is also used

    in the Total Access Communication System (TACS).

    The Digital-Advanced Mobile Phone Service (D-AMPS) also uses FDMA but adds

    time division multiple access (TDMA) to get three channels for each FDMA

    channel, tripling the number of calls that can be handled on a channel.
