Overview of the GSM System Overview of the GSM System
The GSM system is made up of sub-networks called: Public Land Mobile Network's (PLMN). Each member country has one or more PLMN depending on its size.

MS and SIM OverviewMS and SIM Overview
The Mobile Station (MS) enables generic radio and processing functionsto access the network through the radio interface.Each MS has a unique IMEI (Identity Mobile Equipment Identity)
The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is basically a smart card, followingISO standards, containing all the subscriber-related information stored onthe user’s side of the radio interface. The SIM stores the IMSI(International Mobile Sub. Identity)

15 Digits or Less
Example: WB Aircel: 404 17 1130110275
The International Mobile Subscriber Identity consists of three parts The MCC identifying a country The MNC identifying a PLMN within this country The MSIN identifying a subscriber within the PLMNThe IMSI is only used for IMSI attach procedure and for GT Translation

BTS OverviewBTS Overview
A BTS comprises radio transmission and reception devices (including) antennas) and also all the signal processing specific to the radio interface.A BTS can be considered as complex radio modems.A BTS is virtually connected to the MS (Air interface) on one side and to the BSC on the other side.In general a BTS is represented with three cells. Each cell can have more than one TRX (i.e. Antennas).
BTSBSC
T & D
BSC OverviewBSC Overview
A BSC is in charge of all the radio interface management through the remote command of the BTS and the MS, mainly the allocation and release of radio channels and the handover management.A BSC is connected on one side to the MSC and on the other side to several BTSs.
BSC MSC/VLR

MSC/VLR OverviewMSC/VLR Overview
BSC MSC/VLR
HLR
PSTN
A MSC co-ordinates the setting-up of calls to and from GSM users.
A VLR is a database in charge of temporarily storing subscription data (IMSI,MSISDN, LAC @, TMSI) for subscribers currently situated in the service area of the corresponding MSC.
The MSC/VLR has interfaces with the BSC on one side and externalnetworks on the other side.
T & D
HLR OverviewHLR Overview
MSC/VLR
HLR
A HLR is a database holding subscriber information relevant to the provision of telecommunications services as well as some informationrelated to the current location of the subscriber (IMSI, MSISDN, VLR @).In general an EIR (a functional subdivision of the HLR and enabling to verify the status of a MS) and an AuC (another functional subdivisionof the HLR and enabling to authenticate a subscriber) complete the HLRArchitecture.An HLR is located independently of the actual location of the subscriber

Mobility ManagementMobility Management
The mobility of users in a cellular system is the source of major differences with fixed telephony, in particular for incoming calls.
A Network can route a call towards a fixed user by simply knowing the network address (e.g., the telephone number).
In a cellular system, the cell in which contact may be established with the user changes when the user moves. In order to receive incoming calls, a mobile user must first be located.In practice, three different methods may be used to locate a mobile user:
• Systematic Location Updating at Cell Level• Paging Message in all cells of the Network when a call arrives• Compromise by Introducing the concept of Location Area.

Several types of Handovers can occur:
Intra BSC Handovers (The call is handed over from one cell to another, both belonging to the same BSC) Inter BSC Handovers = Intra MSC Handovers (The call is handed over from one cell to another, each cell belonging to a different BSC) Inter MSC Handovers (The call is handed over from one cell to another, each cell belonging to a different MSC)
