Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Network Architecture 3 GSM (2G Cellular) • The GSM system consists of three subsystems – Base station subsystem (BSS) – Network and switching subsystem (NSS) – Operation and support subsystem (OSS) • Base station subsystem (BSS) – BSS consists of • Base transceiver stations (BTSs) • Base station controller (BSC) – The role of the BSS is to provide transmission paths between the mobiles and the NSS. – The BTS is the radio access point. – Each BTS serves one cell. – The main functions of the BSC are cell management, control of a BTS and exchange functions. 4 GSM (2G Cellular) • Network and switching subsystem (NSS) – NSS includes switching and location management functions. – NSS consists of • • • • • • mobile switching center (MSC) home location register (HLR) visitor location register (VLR) gateway MSC (GMSC) authentication center (AuC) equipment identity register (EIR) – The MSC is a complete exchange with switching and signaling capabilities. – GMSC provides interface between the mobile network and public switched telephone network (PSTN), public land mobile network (PLMN) and integrated services digital network (ISDN). – MSC is capable of routing calls from the BTS and BSC to mobile users in the same network (through BSC and BTS) or to users in the PSTN, PLMN and ISDN (through GMSC) or to answering machines integrated within the MSC. 5 GSM (2G Cellular) – HLR and VLR are databases for location management. – The HLR stores the identity and user data of all subscribers belonging to the mobile operator for both local and aboard (roaming) users. – The VLR contains the permanent data found in the HLR of the user’s original network for all subscribers currently residing in its MSC serving area. – That is, VLR contains data of its own subscribers of the network that are in its serving area, as well as that (temporary data) of roamers from other GSM networks. – The AuC is related to HLR and contains sets of parameters needed for authentication procedures for the mobile stations. – EIR is an optional database that contains numbers of the mobile phone equipments. – The purpose of EIR is to prevent usage of stolen mobile stations or to bar malfunctioning equipment. 6 GPRS (2G+ Cellular) GSM core HLR PSTN, PLMN, ISDN GMSC MSC/VLR BSS SGSN BSC BTS IP backbone network MT GGSN GGSN Internet Data network BTS BTS MT GPRS core MT BSS – base station subsystem MT – mobile terminal BTS – base transceiver stations HLR – home location register VLR – visitor location register GMSC – gateway mobile switching center PSTN – public switched telephone network PLMN – public land mobile network ISDN – integrated services digital network SGSN – serving GPRS support node GGSN – gateway GPRS support node MT Figure 2. General Packet Radio System (GPRS) Network Architecture 7 GPRS (2G+ Cellular) • • GPRS is a hardware and software upgrade to the existing GSM system. Two new network nodes are added: – Serving GPRS support node (SGSN) – Gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) • • SGSN is responsible for the delivery of packets from/to mobile stations within its service area. Its main tasks are – Mobility management: • Location management • Attachment/detachment – – – – Packet routing Logical link management Authentication Charging functions 8 GPRS (2G+ Cellular) • • • • GGSN acts as an interface between the GPRS packet network and external packet-based networks like the Internet. It converts protocol data packet (PDP) address from the external packet-based networks to the GSM address of the specified user and vice versa. For each session in GPRS, a PDP context to describe the session is created. It describes – PDP type (e.g., IPv4) – PDP address • assigned to the mobile station for that session only – Requested quality of service (QoS) profile – Address of the GGSN • • • the access node to that packet network There may be several SGSNs or GGSNs. All GPRS support nodes are connected through an IP-based GPRS backbone network. 9 GPRS (2G+ Cellular) • HLR stores the followings: – User profile – Current SGSN address – PDP address(es) • e.g., IP address for communication with Internet • MSC/VLR is extended with additional functions that allows coordination between GSM circuit-switched services (e.g., telephony) and GPRS packet-switched services. – – – – – • Packet-switched services Real-time multimedia World Wide Web (WWW) File download E-mail Each of these services has different QoS requirements. 10 GPRS (2G+ Cellular) • GPRS QoS profiles – Service precedence • High priority • Normal priority • Low priority – Reliability - Transmission characteristics of the GPRS network • • • • Loss probability Duplication Misinsertion Handling of corruption of packets – Delay • Average delay • Maximum delay • 95% of all transfer – Throughput • Mean bit rate • Maximum bit rate 11 GPRS (2G+ Cellular) • GPRS has three states for location management: – Idle – Ready – Standby • • • • In idle state, the network does not know the location of the mobile station and no PDP context is associated with the station. When the mobile station sends or receives packets, it is in ready state. In this state the network knows which cell the user is in. After being silent for a period of time, mobile station reaches standby state. 12 GPRS (2G+ Cellular) • To locate a mobile, – In standby state • a GSM location area is divided into several routing areas (RAs) • the network performs paging in the current RA – In ready state • there is no need for paging – In idle state • the network is paging all BTSs in the current location of the mobile station • • GPRS utilizes the same radio access network as GSM. Third generation mobile networks have defined different radio interfaces to provide higher bit rate services to users. 13 UMTS (3G Cellular) MT MT CS domain Node B : : RNC MSC/ VLR GMSC Node B PSTN, PLMN, ISDN MT : : HLR Node B : : MT RNC Node B UTRAN PS domain GGSN Internet GGSN Other data network SGSN Core network External networks MT – mobile terminal Node B – a network component that serves one cell RNC – radio network controller HLR – home location register VLR – visitor location register MSC – mobile switching center GMSC – gateway MSC CS – circuit-switched PS – packet-switched PSTN – public switched telephone network PLMN – public land mobile network ISDN – integrated services digital network SGSN – serving GPRS support node GGSN – gateway GPRS support node UTRAN – UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network Figure 3. Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Network Architecture 14 UMTS (3G Cellular) • UMTS’s basic architecture is split into two domains: – User equipment (UE) domain – Infrastructure domain • UE is used by users to access UMTS services. • It includes identity module and mobile equipment. • The mobile equipment performs radio communication with the network and contains applications for the services. • The infrastructure domain is further split into two domains: – Network access (NA) domain – Core network (CN) domain 15 UMTS (3G Cellular) • • • The NA domain consists of physical entities (nodes), which manage the radio resources. The CN domain consists of physical entities, which provide support for the features and telecommunication services like call management, mobility management, etc. There are two types of NA: – Base station subsystem (BSS) – Radio network system (RNS) • • • • BSS is the GSM radio access network solution, which is also used by GPRS. BSS consists of the base station controller (BSC) and base transceiver stations (BTSs). Each BTS serves one cell. Usually several BTSs are grouped in a base station and place on a single site. 16 UMTS (3G Cellular) • For UTRAN, network elements are responsible for – Radio resource management – Handover management – Power control • • • • • RNS is the network system, which corresponds to the GSM BSS. However, RNS is significantly different from the GSM access operation. RNS consists of the radio network controller (RNC), which controls the radio access nodes called Node B. A Node B is a network component that serves one cell. There are different types of Node B like macrocells, microcells and picocells with different requirements in traffic, coverage and services. 17 UMTS (3G Cellular) • There are two types of Node B: – Node B FDD – Node B TDD • • • Node B FDD is planned for wider coverage area (macrocells, microcells). Node B TDD is targeted to hot spot in coverage. The core network consists of two domains: – circuit-switched (CS) domain – packet-switched (PS) domain • • • • These two domains in CN are overlapping in some common elements. CS mode is the GSM mode of operation, while PS mode is supported by GPRS. The entities specific to CS domain are MSC and GMSC. The entities specific to PS domain are GGSN and SGSN. 18 UMTS (3G Cellular) • There are entities shared by both the CS and PS domains: – – – – – • HSS is a master database for a given user with the following information: – – – – • • • Home subscriber server (HSS) Authentication center (AuC) Equipment identity register (EIR) Visitor location register (VLR) SMS-support nodes user identification (numbering, address information) user security information (authentication, authorization) user location information user profile information (to services the user has access) HLRs for CS and PS domains are subsets of HSS. HSS also provides IP multimedia functionality in the core network. Other common entities have similar functions as described for GSM and GPRS. 19 LTE (3.9G Cellular) MT Other Access Types (WLAN,…) MT eNode B IMS Serving GW MGW PDN GW eNode B P/I/S-CSCF MT MGCF PCRF : : IP network eNode B MME EPC MT eNode B E-UTRAN HSS PSTN External networks MT – mobile terminal eNode B – an evolved network component that serves one cell Serving GW – serving gateway MME – mobility management entity HSS – home subscriber server PDN GW – packet data network gateway PCRF – policy and charging rules functions EPC – evolved packet core WLAN – wireless local area network P/I/S-CSCF – proxy/interrogating/serving –call session control function MGCF – media gateway control function MGW – media gateway IMS – IP multimedia subsystem IP – internet protocol PSTN – public switched telephone network E-UTRAN – Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network Figure 4. Long Term Evolution (LTE) Network Architecture 20 LTE (3.9G Cellular) • In the evolved UMTS evolution, also known as Evolved Packet System (EPS), the new blocks are – the Evolved UTRAN (E-UTRAN), also known as the evolved access network. – and the Evolved Packet Core (EPC), also known as the evolved packet core network. • • • • • • E-UTRAN consists of a networks of evolved nodeBs (eNodeBs). There is no centralized controller in E-UTRAN. Thus, the E-UTRAN architecture is known to be flat. The eNodeBs are normally connected to each other by an interface known as X2. The eNodeBs are connected to the mobility management entity (MME) by an interface known as S1-MME and to the serving gateway (GW) by an interface known as S1-U. The protocols that is running between the eNodeBs and the MT (or user equipment (UE)) are known as the Access Stratum (AS) protocols. 21 LTE (3.9G Cellular) • The E-UTRAN is responsible for all radio-related functions like – Radio Resource Management • All functions related to the radio bearers – – – – Radio bearer control Radio admission control Scheduling Dynamic allocation of resources to UEs in both the uplink and downlink – Header Compression • Compress IP packet headers • Otherwise, significant overhead for small packets such as voice over IP (VoIP) – Security • Encrypted all data that are sent over the radio interface – Connectivity to the EPC • This consists of the signalling towards the MME and the bearer path towards the serving GW. 22 LTE (3.9G Cellular) • The EPC consists of several functional entities – – – – • Mobility management entity (MME) Serving gateway (GW) Packet data network (PDN) gateway Policy and charging rules function (PCRF) MME – In charge of all the control plane functions related to subscriber and session management – Security procedures – Terminal-to-network session handling – Idle terminal location management • • • The MME is connected to the home subscriber server (HSS) through an interface known as S6. HSS is the concatenation of the home location register (HLR) and the authentication center (AuC). HSS supports the database containing all subscription information. 23 LTE (3.9G Cellular) • Serving GW – Termination point of packet data interface towards E-UTRAN – Serves as local mobility anchor when UEs move across eNodeBs • Packets are routed through this point for intra E-UTRAN mobility and mobility with other 3GPP technologies such as 2G GSM and 3G UMTS. • PDN GW – Termination point of packet data interface towards PDN. – Anchor point for sessions towards the PDN. – Supports policy enforcement features (which apply operatordefined rules for resource allocation and usage) – Packet filtering (like deep packet inspection for virus signature detection) – Evolved charging support (like per URL charging) • URL is an address of a web page on the world wide web (WWW). 24 LTE (3.9G Cellular) • Policy and charging rule functions (PCRF) – Responsible for policy control decision-making and for controlling the flow-based charging functionalities in the PDN GW. – Provides QoS authorization of data flow through PDN GW. – Ensures user’s subscription profile. • • • The IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is a generic platform offering IP-based multimedia services. The call session control function (CSCF) play a key role in IMS architecture. CSCF has three types – Proxy – Interrogating – Serving • CSCF establishes, terminates and modifies IMS sessions. 25 LTE (3.9G Cellular) • Multimedia gateway control function (MGCF) – Supports call control protocol conversion. – Supports media gateway (MGW). – Supports interrogating CSCF. • MGW – Responsible for media conversion. – Responsible for bearer control. – Payload processing (e.g., codec, echo canceller, …). 26 MT RN LTE Advanced (4G Cellular) Other Access Types (WLAN,…) MT eNode B IMS Serving GW MGW PDN GW eNode B P/I/S-CSCF MT MGCF PCRF MME IP network HeNode B HeNB -GW EPC MT HeNode B E-UTRAN MT HSS PSTN External networks MT – mobile terminal RN – relay node eNode B – an evolved network component that serves one cell HeNodeB – an evolved network component that serves one femtocell Serving GW – serving gateway MME – mobility management entity HSS – home subscriber server PDN GW – packet data network gateway PCRF – policy and charging rules functions EPC – evolved packet core WLAN – wireless local area network P/I/S-CSCF – proxy/interrogating/serving –call session control function MGCF – media gateway control function MGW – media gateway IMS – IP multimedia subsystem IP – internet protocol PSTN – public switched telephone network E-UTRAN – Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network Figure 5. Long Term Evolution (LTE) Advanced Network Architecture 27 LTE Advanced (4G Cellular) • The E-UTRAN for LTE Advanced can support Home eNodeB (HeNodeB) which is also known as a femtocell. – HeNodeB are basically eNodeB of lower cost for indoor coverage improvement. – HeNodeB can be connected to the evolved packet core (ECP) directly or via a HeNodeB gateway (GW) which provides support for a large number of HeNodeBs. • • The E-UTRAN for LTE Advanced is also considering support of relay nodes and enhanced relaying strategies for increased coverage, higher data rates and better QoS performance and fairness for different users. The EPC is not undergoing major changes from the standardized system and architecture evolution (SAE) project. 28 IEEE 802.16 WiMAX WMAN CSN ASN Internet CSN ASN GW PSTN Other operator CSN Wimax BS Wimax BSs PMP mode Mesh mode MS MHR mode RN MS MS RN RN 3G MS MS RN BS – base station RN – relay node MS – mobile subscriber/station ASN – access services network ASN GW – ASN gateway CSN – core services network PSTN – public switched telephone network PMP – point-to-multipoint MHR – multi-hop relay MS MS MS MS MS MS Figure 6. IEEE 802.16 WiMAX Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN) Network Architecture 29 IEEE 802.16 WiMAX WMAN • • • The access services network (ASN) is the access network of WiMAX. ASN provides the interface between the user and the core services network (CSN). ASN – Handover – Authentication through the proxy authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) server – Radio resource management – Interoperability with other ASNs – Relay of functionality between CSN and mobile station (MS), e.g., IP address allocation 30 IEEE 802.16 WiMAX WMAN • ASN gateway – Connection and mobility management. – Interservice provider network boundaries through processing of subscriber control and bearer data traffic. – Serves as an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) authenticator for subscriber identity. – Acts as a remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) client to the operator’s AAA servers. • CSN – Transport, authentication and switching part of the network. – Represents the core network in WiMAX. – Consists of home agent (HA), AAA system and IP servers (gateways to other networks like Internet, public switched telephone network (PSTN), 3G, etc.) 31 IEEE 802.11 WLAN – Infrastructure Mode Extended service set IEEE 802.x LAN Portal AP – access point STA – station LAN – local area network Distribution system Basic service set AP/STA1 Basic service set STA2 STA4 STA6 STA3 AP/STA5 STA8 STA7 Figure 7. IEEE 802.11 WLAN (Infrastructure Mode) Network Architecture 32 IEEE 802.11 WLAN – Infrastructure Mode • • • • • • • • • • The smallest building block of a wireless LAN is a basic service set (BSS). BSS consists of a number of stations (STAs) executing the same medium access control (MAC) protocol and competing for access to the same shared wireless medium. A BSS may be isolated or it may be connected to a backbone distribution system (DS) through an access point (AP). The access point functions as a bridge. The MAC protocol may be fully distributed or controlled by a central coordination function housed in the access point. The BSS generally corresponds to a cell. The DS can be a switch, a wired network or a wireless network. The figure above shows the simplest configuration, where each station belongs to a single BSS. That is, each station is within wireless range only of other stations within the same BSS. It is also possible for two BSSs to overlapped geographically, so that a single station could participate in more than one BSS. 33 IEEE 802.11 WLAN – Infrastructure Mode • • • • • • • • • Furthermore, the association between a station and a BSS is dynamic. Stations may turn off, come within range, and go out of range. An extended service set (ESS) consists of two or more basic service sets (BSSs) interconnected by a distribution system (DS). Typically, the distribution system is a wired backbone LAN but can be any communications network. The extended service set appears as a single logical LAN to the logical link control (LLC) level. Figure 7 shows the access point (AP) is implemented as part of a station. The AP is the logic within a station that provides access to the DS by providing DS services in addition to acting as a station. A portal is used to integrate the IEEE 802.11 architecture with a traditional wired LAN (IEEE 802.x). The portal logic is implemented in a device such as a bridge or a router, that is part of the wired LAN, and is attached to the distribution system (DS). 34 IEEE 802.11 WLAN – Ad Hoc Mode STA1 STA2 STA4 STA – station STA3 Figure 8. IEEE 802.11 WLAN (Ad Hoc Mode) Network Architecture 35 IEEE 802.11 WLAN – Ad Hoc Mode • In the ad hoc network architecture, stations are connected directly to each other in an ad hoc manner without an AP. • This is like a mesh network topology or sometimes known as peer-to-peer network topology. • This mode of operation is also known as an independent BSS (IBSS). 36 IEEE 802.11 WLAN – Wireless Mesh Mode Extended service set IEEE 802.x LAN Portal Distribution system AP/STA5 B S S STA2 STA4 STA3 B S S AP/ STA 9 STA 10 STA11 B S S AP/ STA 12 STA6 AP – access point STA – station LAN – local area network BSS – basic service set STA8 B S STA7 S STA 13 STA14 Figure 9.

Bluetooth Network Architecture 39 IEEE 802.15.1 Bluetooth WPAN • Bluetooth can be used to connect different devices like mobile phone, printer, walkman, etc., to a laptop in a small personal area network called a piconet. • The laptop can be connected to the LAN via an access point. • A mobile phone can also be connected to a base station in a cellular network which in turn is connected to a PSTN. 40 IEEE 802.15.4 Zigbee WPAN PANC – Personal area network coordinator PANC PANC Full-function device (FFD) Reduced-function device (RFD) (a) (b) Figure 11. IEEE 802.15.4 Zigbee Network Topologies (a) star; (b) peer-to-peer 41 IEEE 802.15.4 Zigbee WPAN • • • • • • • • The PAN coordinator is the principal controller of a PAN. PANC is a full-function device (FFD). PANC can initiate a communication, terminate the communication and route it around the network. An IEEE 802.15.4 network has exactly one PANC. An FFD can connect to both FFDs and reduced-function devices (RFDs). A RFD can connect to only a FFD. Simple applications of a RFD are a light sensor and a lighting controller. A FFD can take up roles of a coordinator and a router. 42 ECMA 368 (WiMedia) WPAN Wired LAN PSTN ECMA 368 piconet Cellular Network PNC AP – access point STA – station LAN – local area network PSTN – public switched telephone network BTS – base transceiver station PNC – piconet coordinator BTS Figure 12. ECMA 368 Network Architecture 43 ECMA 368 (WiMedia) WPAN • • • • • • • • WiMedia can be used to connect different devices like mobile phone, printer, storage device, MP3/4 player, etc., to a laptop in a small wireless personal area network (WPAN) such as a piconet as known in Bluetooth. A WPAN for WiMedia is shown in Figure 12. The connectivity between the laptop and the devices can be done using Wireless USB. Wireless USB makes use of a type of reservation known as Private Distributed Reservation Protocol in WiMedia medium access control. The laptop can be connected to the local area network (LAN) via an access point. A mobile phone can also be connected to a base station in a cellular network which in turn is connected to a public switched telephone network (PSTN). This example shows a star topology but WiMedia does not need to be in this topology only. As it has a distributed medium access control, WiMedia can have other topologies, e.g., those with mesh-connectivity. 44 IEEE 802.15.3c WPAN Wired LAN PSTN IEEE 802.15.3c piconet Cellular Network PNC AP – access point STA – station LAN – local area network PSTN – public switched telephone network BTS – base transceiver station PNC – piconet coordinator BTS HDTV Figure 13. IEEE 802.15.3c Network Architecture 45 IEEE 802.15.3c WPAN • The PHY specifies three modes and one common mode. • The three PHY modes are as follows: – Single carrier (SC) mode optimized for low power and low complexity. – High-speed interface (HSI) mode optimized for low-latency bidirectional data transfer. – Audio/video (AV) mode optimized for the delivery of uncompressed, high-definition video and audio. • Also defined as a part of the alternate PHY is commonmode signaling, which is a PHY mode that allows devices using different PHY modes to communicate. 46 ECMA 387 WPAN AP – access point STA – station LAN – local area network PNC – piconet coordinator HDTV – high definition television Wired LAN B PNC ECMA 387 piconet A A B B HDTV HDTV HDTV A A B HDTV (a) B A A (b) Figure 14.

It uses high gain trainable antennas. This device type is considered as the ‘high end’ - high performance device. A second type B device offers video and data applications over shorter range (1-3 meters) point-to-point LOS links with non-trainable antennas. It is considered as the ‘economy’ device and trades off range and NLOS performance in favour of low cost implementation and low power consumption. 49 References • • • • • • • • • David Tung Chong Wong, Peng-Yong Kong, Ying-Chang Liang, Kee Chaing Chua and Jon W.
