What is Principle for Frequency Planning in GSM

The actual frequency planning of certain areas is usually conducted with such areas divided into segments geographically, i.e., first divide a complex network into small networks. However, there should be some frequency carriers (when the frequency is enough) reserved at the boundary of the segments or the frequency carriers should be divided. Such boundary should … Read more

BTS Color Code BCC in GSM

BCC is a part of BSIC. For its function, please refer to above sections. BCC is composed of 3 bits. The available range is from 0 to 7. BSIC includes BCC and NCC which is transmitted on SCH. BCC is a part of BSIC, used to identify different cell with the same BCCH in the … Read more

List of Important Terminology of GSM

MOBILE STATIONS ISDN NUMBER (MSISDN) Is the mobile number used in a GSM PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) MSISDN = Country Code + National Destination Code + Subscriber number e.x. 63 + 0918 + 8889999 Maximum length is 15 digits. INTERNATIONAL MOBILE SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY (IMSI) Is the subscriber number used over radio path for all … Read more

How Cell Selection in GSM

Once the mobile is switched on and the registered home PLMN was selected (e.x. SMART), it will next search for a BCCH frequency list, stored in its memory or in its SIM card. The list can have up to 32 BCCH frequencies for the mobile to scan. This reduces the time of cell selection, compared … Read more

What is GSM Cell Reselection and How it works.

When mobile has been selected successfully the mobile now will start reselection tasks. Perform Cell reselection measurement first Mobile will continuously make measurements on its neighboring cells (as  indicated by the BA list) to initiate cell reselection if necessary. At least 5 measurement sample per neighboring cell is needed. A running average of the received … Read more

What is Simulator and how it works

The development of the simulator that will be implemented can be classified in two phases. The first phase is the development of a simulator, capable for the investigation of the typical handover procedure. The second phase will include the implementation of the LAH algorithm that will consider the location of the user. Simulations that will … Read more

Drive Test Plan, Procedure and output for GSM

Drive test is simply test of coverage for radiating BTS . from drive test you can imagine BTS coverage boundary and foot print of bad coverage and good coverage.lets understand dt basic. Drive Test Plan Each drive route should be marked on a detailed road map showing the exact route to be driven. These maps … Read more
