GSM Structure:
Mobile station (MS)
• The Mobile Station is the interface between the user and the network.
The MS consists of two independent parts:
 Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card
 Mobile equipment (ME).

3
Base transceiver station (BTS)
• A BTS acts as the interface between MS’s and the network, by providing radio
coverage functions from their antennae to provide the coverage area for one
cell.
• Converts the GSM radio signals into a format that can be recognized by the BSC
• Ciphering using the ciphering key
• Channel coding and interleaving
• Modulation and demodulation.
• Records and passes to the BSC the Signal strength measurements
Base station controller (BSC)
• The BSC is the central node within a BSS and co-ordinates the actions of Base
Stations. The BSC controls a major part of the radio network
• Hand over calculations.
• Power control calculations.
• Supervises the transmission network and the operation of each BTS
Mobile switching center (MSC)
• The primary node in a GSM network is the MSC. It is the node, which controls
calls both to MS’s and from MS’s.
The primary functions of an MSC include the following:
 Switching and call routing to or from MS.
 Charging.
 Service provisioning.
 Control of connected BSC’s.
 Direct access to Internet services.

4
Gateway mobile switching center (GMSC)
• Gateway functionality enables an MSC to interrogate a HLR in order to route a
mobile terminating call. It is not used in calls from MS’s to any terminal other
than another MS.
• For example, if a person connected to the PSTN wants to make a call to a GSM
mobile subscriber, then the PSTN exchange will access the GSM network by first
connecting the call to a GMSC
Home location register (HLR)
• The HLR is a centralized network database that stores and manages all mobile
subscriptions belonging to a specific operator.
• It acts as a permanent store for a person’s subscription information until that
subscription is cancelled.
• The primary functions of the HLR include:
 Stores for each mobile subscriber:
• Basic subscriber categories.
• Supplementary services.
• Current location.
• Allowed/barred services.
• Authentication data.
 Subscription database management
Visitor location register (VLR)
• The role of a VLR in a GSM network is to act as a temporary storage location for
subscription information for MSs, which are within a particular MSC service
area.
• Thus, there is one VLR for each MSC service area. This means that the MSC
does not have to contact the HLR (which may be located in another country)
every time the subscriber uses a service or changes its status.
• The VLR is always integrated with the MSC

5
• For the duration when the MS is within one MSC service area, then the VLR
contains a complete copy of the necessary subscription details, including the
following information:
 Identity numbers for the subscriber
 Supplementary service information (e.g. Does the subscriber has call
waiting activated or not)
 Activity of MS (e.g. idle or busy)
 Current Location Area of MS
Authentication center (AUC).
• To protect GSM systems, the following security functions have been defined:
 Subscriber authentication: by performing authentication, the network
ensures that no unauthorized users can access the network, including
those that are attempting to impersonate others.
 Radio information ciphering: the information sent between the network
and a MS is ciphered. A MS can only decipher information intended for it.
Equipment identification register (EIR)
• Because the subscriber and equipment are separate in GSM, it is necessary to
have a separate authentication process for the MS equipment.
• The equipment identification procedure uses the identity of the equipment
itself (IMEI) to ensure that the MS terminal equipment is valid.
Operation and maintenance center (OMC)
• The operation and Maintenance center (OMC) is connected to all equipment in
the SS (the GMSC, MSCs, HLR, VLR, AUC, EIR and the BSCs).
• It can be viewed as a computerized monitoring center were staff can monitor
and control the network remotely

GSM air interface
Traffic Channel
 Carries either encoded speech or user data up and down link between a single
mobile and a single BTS.
Types of traffic channel:
 Full rate (TCH)
 Transmits full rate speech (13 Kbits/s). A full rate TCH occupies
one physical channel.
 Half rate (TCH/2)
 Transmits half rate speech (6.5 Kbits/s).
 Two half rate TCH’s can share one physical channel, thus doubling the capacity
of a cell.

7
Control Channels
 These are used to carry signaling or synchronization data. They are divided into
three types:
 Broadcast Channels (BCH)
 Common Control Channels (CCCH)
 Dedicated Control Channels (DCCH’s)
1. Broadcast Channels (DL)
 From Single BTS to all the mobiles in the area
 Frequency Correction Control Channel (FCCH)
 Pure signal is transmitted to help the MS to lock on the frequency
on the BTS
 Synchronization Channel (SCH)
 Carries 2 important pieces of information
 TDMA frame number (max = 2715684 )
 Base station identity Code (BSIC)
 Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH)
 Broadcasts some general cell information such as:
 Location Area Identity (LAI),
 maximum output power allowed in the cell
 The identity of BCCH carriers for neighboring cells.
 Cell parameters (Power , idle mode parameters)

8
2. Common Control Channels
To or from a certain BTS to a single mobile
 Paging Channel (PCH)
 BTS Transmits a paging message to indicate an incoming call or
short message. The paging message contains the identity number
of the mobile subscriber that the network wishes to contact. (DL)
 Random Access Channel (RACH)
 MS Answers paging message on the RACH by requesting a signaling
channel of SDCCH. (UL)
 Access Grant Channel (AGCH)
 Assigns a signaling channel (SDCCH) to the MS. (DL)
3. Dedicated Control Channels
 Stand alone Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH)
 Used for signaling purposed: call setup, location update, IMSI
attach – detach.
 Used to send / receive SMS in idle mode.
 Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH)
 Always allocated with traffic channel to transmit measurement
reports.
 DL: Commands from the network to the MS to adjust its power,
Timing advance (TA).
 UL: information about the MS own power, received signal
strength, quality and SS for neighbor cells.
 Used to send SMS in active mode.
 Fast Associated Control Channel (FACCH)
 Transmits handover information.

Antenna Tilting:
Direction of the antenna vertical beam.
Types of tilting:
 No Tilt: The vertical beam of the antenna is directed towards the horizon.
 Down Tilt: The vertical beam of the antenna is directed lower the horizon.
 Up Tilt: The vertical beam of the antenna is directed above the horizon.
Types of Tilting:
 Mechanical Tilting : tilting the physical body of the antenna
 Electrical Tilting: change the phase of the current fed the internal
dipoles which will result in tilting the main beam.

12
What is the better, Mechanical tilting or Electrical tilting …????
 Mechanical tilting :
-With mechanical down tilting, the main beam will be down tilted but the
back lobe will be up tilted that make interference.
- With mechanical tilting you can’t change the tilt of one band alone.
 Electrical tilting :
- With electrical down tilting, the main beam will be down tilted but the
back lobe will not be up tilted so back lobe interference decreased.
- With electrical tilting you can change the tilt of any band alone.
So Electrical Tilting is better than Mechanical Tilting
EX:
Electrical tilt = 2

13
To down tilt it by 8 degrees (Electrical tilt = 10):

Types of Drive test tasks:
1- Clusters
This test is mainly used to check network accessibility (Blocking) and retainability
(quality).
To check Accessibility: Short Calls (Using sequence control) (EX: 30 (call duration) ,
10 (duration between calls)).

.
To check Retainability: Long call (Don’t forget ending the call before the hour and
starting new Call).
Ex: Marina cluster

Then you can adjust settings (call duration, Wait, MS), Then Press RUN.
-Main roads, Polygons and global coverage are the same concept.
2- New Site Acceptance
2G Acceptance DT procedures
– 2G macro sites follow one of the below mentioned templates:
• Three cells E, F, G with BCCHs on the 900 band and TCHs on the
900 and 1800 bands. (Concentric GSM)
• Six cells A, B, C with BCCHs and TCHs on the 1800 band and E, F,
G with BCCHs and TCHs on the 900 band. (Dual BCCH)
• In Idle mode, for all sectors the following are checked:
 Each sector is serving with satisfactory level in its expected service area.
 Cell reselection from site to neighbors.
 Cell reselection from neighbors to site.
 Cell reselection between site sectors in a clockwise and anti-clockwise
manner.
• In Dedicated mode, for all sectors the following are checked:
 Each sector is serving with satisfactory quality in its expected service
area.
 Cell handover from neighbors to site.
 Handover between site sectors in a clockwise and anti-clockwise
manner.
 Level difference between the hopping channels should not exceed 15
dbm, otherwise we have a hardware problem and faulty TRX should be
replaced.
• The following tests are also done for every cell in the site:
 10 voice calls with a duration of 10 seconds
• Blocked and dropped calls are reported
 An SMS sent and received
• To check SMS success
 Logging-on to the internet
• To check PDP (Packet Data Protocol)
• In dual BCCH site The same procedure is done on A, B and C cells, as well as
E, F and G cells.

44
3G Acceptance DT procedures
• In Idle mode, the following are checked:
 Each cell is serving with satisfactory level
 Cell reselection from site to neighbors
 Cell reselection from neighbors to site
• In Dedicated mode, the following are checked:
 Each cell is serving with satisfactory RSCP and Ec/No
 Soft handover between site and neighbors
• The following tests are also done for each sector.
 5 voice calls (60-30)
 2 terminating calls.
 3 video calls.
 An SMS sent and received to check SMS success.
 IRAT test (Hand over from 3G to 2G).
 Reselection from 2G to 3G.
 Logging-on to the internet
• To check PDP (3G-R99); throughput should exceed 350 Kbit/sec
• To check (3.5G-HSDPA); throughput should exceed1mbit/sec
(mobile used should support HSDPA)

 3G cross sector: the same concept.

59
b- Bad quality
Rx qual is proportional to BER (Bit Error Rate), that affected by
interference.
There are two types of interference:
1- Co-Channel interference
2- Adjacent interference
 Interference is appeared in hopping channel window (C/I)
 C/I: Carrier to interference ratio.
 High Interference >>>> bad C/I >>>> Bad Rx qual >>>> Bad SQI
 If we have interfered frequency, we should change it by another one.
EX:
The frequencies 518, 531 are interfered (Bad C/I), so quality is bad.

60
Recommendations: change the two frequencies by non interfered frequencies.
‫جدا‬ ‫ًاضحو‬ ‫اىدنيا‬ ‫مدا‬ ‫اظن‬
.
c- Faulty DTRU
DTRU: Dual Transceiver Unit, Generate two frequencies.

61
EX:
Solution: replace the faulty DTRU by another one

62
d- Over shooting
It means that the cell serve at very long distance with good level
This area that the cell overshoots in it most probably have cells with Co-channel
or adjacent BCCH, so it will make interference that will result in bad quality.
EX:
e- Bad coverage
f- Dropped calls
The call may be dropped due to:
 Bad quality due to interference.
 Faulty TRX.
 Bad coverage.
 Transmission problem.

63
g- Blocked calls.
The call may be blocked due to:
 Cell congestion
 Bad quality due to interference.
 Faulty TRX.
 Bad coverage.
 Transmission problem.
 Long distance between MS and BTS (MAX TA = 63).
h- Hand Over failure.
HO failure means that MS fails to reach the target cell due to bad
quality or bad coverage or congestion, so it return to the old cell.
5- 3G sites problems
a- Cross sector : the same concept of 2G cross sector
b- Bad coverage.
c- Pilot pollution.
Presence of more than pilot of approximately equivalent signal strength
covers an area without primary pilot that result in bad Eq/No, that may
make dropping in call, and also result in low capacity.
Recommendations:
 Down tilt the antennas of the surrounding sites to decrease the
Interference caused by them to have dominant cell.
 Increase the power of one of them or decrease power of surrounding
cells.
 Adjust the antenna azimuth.
d- Missing neighbors.
Existence of DN neighbor with high RSCP without adding it to AS list that
result in bad Eq/No.

64
EX:
e- Overshooting.
Finding a high DN but far from the detection area.
f- Drooped calls.
The call may drop due to:
 Pilot pollution
 Bad coverage (Low RSCP)
 Bad quality (Eq/No)
 Missing neighbor
 Over shooting
 Downlink interference
 Uplink interference
 Unidirectional missing neighbor
 Transmission problem
g- Blocked calls.
The call may block due to:
 Cell congestion
 Uplink interference
 Bad Eq/No
 Hardware problem
 Transmission problem

65
h- IRAT (HO from 3G to 2G) failure.
The RSCP is decreased under the IRAT threshold, no IRAT done, that
result in dropping the call.
IRAT failure happen due to missing 2G neighbors
