IG & 2G NETWORKS INTRODUCE THE PROBLEM OF LOCATION MANAGEMENT
1. Location management is concerned with tracking of an active mobile station within the cellular network.
2. This is usually carried out by the network (MSC) between two consecutive phone calls.
3. There are two basic operations involved in location management:(a) Paging - The process of which the network initiates a query for the MS’s location its many location areas. (b) Location tracking and update - A process in which the MS initiates a change in the Location Database (HR, VLR) when it moves to a new area.

TWO EXTREMES LOCATION AREA UPDATE APPROACHES
From academic point of view, there are two extreme cases of Location Area Approach, i.e
1. “Always-update,” in which a) Each cell is a location area.b) The MS updates its location whenever it enters a new cell. c) The cost of location update is therefore high, d) There is no paging cost because the network (MSC) can
just route an incoming call to the last reported cell without paging.
2. “Never-update,” in which the whole service area is a location area.
a) Therefore there is no cost of location update. b) Consequently, the paging cost is high because the cellular
system needs to page every cell in the service area to find out the cell in which the MS is currently located so an incoming call can be routed to the BTS of that cell.

MS updates its location periodically
Update when number of cells from previous update exceed a set number
LOCATION AREA PLANNING IN 2G NETWORKS
1. Both paging and location updates consume scarce resources like wireless network spectrum and power of mobile station.
2. Location Area planning is therefore based on a criteria that guarantees the total signalling load, which comprises paging and registration, is kept under tolerable limits.
3. Planning is characterized by the trade-off between:
a) The number of location updates, and
b) The amount of paging signalling that the wireless network can handle.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN USIM & SIM
1. A USIM supports Near Field Radio (NFR) Communication which allows contactless e-purse and supports a local service portal giving you access to your phone bill, etc;
2. USIM card can be used to make video calls when the calling area is covered by a 3G network, SIM cannot;
3. USIM uses advanced encryption algorithms with keys that are stronger than those provided by SIMs.
4. The phonebook is much bigger on the USIM, allowing thousands of contacts (instead of a maximum of 255 in a SIM).
5. USIM contacts are richer, for instance it can contain email addresses, a second or third phone number, etc.

COMPONENTS OF A SIM CARD
CPU: Older models were 8-bit e.g. Motorola 6805 or Intel 8051. Today the norm is 16-bit. Java Card 3 based generation use 32-bit RISC processors.RAM: Size ranges from few
hundred bytes to several megabytes
ROM: Contains the smart cards core operating system and support libraries. Sizes ranges from 6 -300 kbytes.
EEPROM: Stores the card’s file system. Typically sizes are from 4 - 64k
VCC - 1.8v, 3v, 5v
Clock: 5-20 Mhz.
Resets card and initiates the ATR (Answer-On-Reset) protocol
Input/Output: Serial half-duplex 9.6 - 115kbps

INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CARD IDENTIFIER (ICCID)
• Each SIM is internationally identified by its integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID).
• ICCIDs are stored in the EEPROM and are also engraved or printed on the SIM card body during a process called personalisation.
• The number is up to 22 digits long, including a single check digit
