INTRODUCTION TO WIRELESS NETWORKS
Demand of personal communication is driving the development of newnetworking techniques to accommodate mobile voice and data users
globally.
Cellular telephone system is responsible for coverage of a particularregion or territory.
Interconnection of many systems defines wireless Network which iscapable of providing service through out the country.
To provide wireless communications within a particular geographicregion, an integrated network of base stations, connected to MSC isrequired
MSC provides connectivity between the PSTN.
PSTN forms the global communication grid.

Air Interface
Mobile Subscribers are connected to base stations via a radio link.
These Radio Links work on a carefully defined communication protocolcalled COMMON AIR INTERFASCE(CAI), Which is in essence is aprecisely defined HANDSHAKE communication protocol.
The CAI must provide a great deal of channel reliability to ensure thatdata is properly transmitted and received .
The basic concepts and standards used in todays wireless networksare covered in a manner which first address the mobile-to-base link,followed by the connection of the base station to MSC, the connectionof the MSC to PSTN, and interconnections of MSCs throughout theworld.

Difference Between Wireless and Fixed Telephone
Networks In PSTN transmission of information takes place over land lines and
trunked lines
Medium of communication could be fiber cables, copper cables,microwave links and satellite links.
PSTN network is virtually static and stable.
Wireless networks are highly dynamic, with the network configurationbeing rearranged every time subscriber crossed the cell boundary.
The reconfiguration process is very fast ( fraction of a seconds) tosupport Roaming.

Structure of PSTN In the PSTN, each city or a geographical grouping of towns is called a
LOCAL ACCESS and TRANSPORT AREA (LATA)
Surrounding LATAs are connected by a company called LOCALEXCHANGE CARRIER ( LEC).
A LEC is a company that provides intra-lata telephone service, andmay be a local telephone company, or a Telephone company that isregional in scope.
A Long distance Telephone Company collects Toll Fee to provideconnections between different LATAs over its long distance network.These companies are referred as INTER-EXCHANGE CARRIERS (IXCs).
IXC companies own and operate large fiber optic and microwave radionetworks which are connected to LECs throughout a country orcontinent.

LIMITATIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORKING
As compared to the local fixed telephone network, where all end users are static, a wireless communication system is extremely
complex.
1: The wireless network requires an air interface between base stationand subscribers to provide telephone grade communication underwide range of propagation conditions and for any possible location.
2:Large no of BSs are required to provide coverage of an area and areconnected to MSCs.
3:MSCs must eventually provide connection for each mobile user tothe PSTN. This requires simultaneous connections to the LEC , one or
more IXCs, and to other MSCs via a separate cellular signalingnetwork.
5:An MSC can handle around 100,000 to 200,000 simultaneous cellularTelephone subscribers, While a TELEPHONE Switch can handlemillions of land line subscribers.

LIMITATIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORKING (Cont..)
6: A problem unique to wireless network is extremely hostile andrandom nature of the radio channel.
7: Issue of Handover and consequent load on MSC.
8: Very limited Radio Spectrum for various services as compared to
demand and rise in demand over time.
9: New techniques like Spectrally Efficient modulation techniques,frequency reuse techniques and geographically distributed radioAccess Points ( AP) are vital components of wireless networks.
10: This Geographical distribution of users and consequent mobilityrequires extra overhead load and software on MSC to provideseamless connection.

MERGING WIRELESS NETWORKS AND THE PSTNRoaming/ global connectivity
Telephone signaling initially was through the same trunk as thevoice, making it very in-efficient utilization ofLECs and long
distance voice circuits.
C
ommon channeling signaling developed for better utilizationresources. All modern telephone networks have adopted
common channel signaling now.
Most recently , dedicated signaling channels have been used
by cellular MSCs throughout the world to pass the subscriber
information.
Nowadays signaling networks are separated from Voice
networks.

IS-41PROTOCOL STANDARD ROAMING FEATURE IN 1G
NETWORKS
INTER-OPERATOR ROAMING :In early 1990, US cellular carrierimplemented the network protocol standard IS-41 to allow differentcellular systems to automatically accommodate subscribers who roaminto their region.
IS-41 allows MSCs of different service providers to pass informationabout their subscribers to other MScs on demand.
IS-41 Relies on a feature of AMP calledAutonomous Registration.Autonomous Registration is a process by which a mobile notifies aserving MSC of its presence.
MSC constantly updates its customer list based on Mobile autonomousregistration requests.

Traffic Routing in Wireless Networks The amount of traffic capacity required in a wireless network is highly
dependent upon the type of traffic carried.
For example, Voice traffic is real time and requires dedicated networkaddress where as control and signaling traffic may be bursty in natureand can share resources with other networks.
Two routing services are provided by networks
i) Connection oriented services (virtual circuit routing) and
ii) Connectionless services (Datagram services)
In Connection oriented services call set up procedure is required todedicate network resources for both parties for the duration of Call.
A connection oriented service relies heavily on error control coding.
In Connectionless services is based on packet switching offering
flexibility of paths for packets. But frame overhead becomes large.

CIRCUIT SWITCHING
First Gen Cellular systems provided connection oriented
services. MSC dedicates a voice channel connection betweenBS and PSTN.
When used in conjunction with radio channel, connection-
oriented services are provided by a technique called circuit
switching.
Wireless data networks are not well supported by circuit
switching, due to their short, bursty transmission which are
often followed by periods of inactivity.
Circuit switching will suit in those data links where data is sent
continuously over a long period of time.

SWITCHING TECHNIQUES FOR DATATRANSMISSION
So far we saw how telephone networks are used to carry data.Telephone networks are designed for voice communication.
There are significant differences in the nature of voice anddata traffic. When a user sits in a computer he spends time in
thinking, Keying the query or command the computer, andwaiting for the response before proceeding further.
Thinking, keying and waiting consume lot of time where nodata transmission takes place. T o reduce these timescomputer should be fast processing type and medium should
be of wide band.

SWITCHING TECHNIQUES
Diverse characteristics of voice and Data traffic led todevelopment different switching techniques other than the oneused for voice communication.
Two switching techniques are prevalent for data transmission.
1: Circuit switching
2:Store and forward (S&F) switching
Circuit switching is entirely analogous to the telephonicswitching.
S&F switching is analogous to the postal or telegraph system.
8/3/2019 Wcn Unit_ii Wireless Introduction to Wireless Networking Dec-11
35/45
CIRCUIT SWITCHING
Electrical path is established between source and thedestination before any data transfer takes place.
It remains dedicated to the communication pair for the entireduration of the transmission irrespective of whether data isactually being transferred or not.
The connection is released only when specifically signalled soby either of the communicating entities.
Data transmission through PSTN connection is typicalexample of a circuit switched data transfer.
There are three explicit phases involved in circuit switched datatransfer.
1: Connection establishment
2: Data transmission.
3: Connection release.
8/3/2019 Wcn Unit_ii Wireless Introduction to Wireless Networking Dec-11
36/45
DISADVANTAGES OF CIRCUIT SWSITCHING
1:Excessively long path set-up time, typically 20 to 30 s.
Excessive overhead for bursty computer traffic.
The entire line quality is affected if there is one bad link in thecircuit.
Speed of operation of the circuit the link is limited by theslower. This amounts to poor utilization of high quality highcapacity links.
The network provides no error control facilities which are to behandled by the end system.
In circuit switched connections , the required Bandwidth isallocated statistically and the unused band width is wasted.
8/3/2019 Wcn Unit_ii Wireless Introduction to Wireless Networking Dec-11
37/45
STORE AND FORWARD SWITCHING
A store and forward network configuration is given below.
In S&F switching, the switching nodes have the ability to store user
messages and forward the same towards the destination as and whenthe link becomes available.
No end to end link is set up prior to Data tranmission.
8/3/2019 Wcn Unit_ii Wireless Introduction to Wireless Networking Dec-11
38/45
MERITS OF S&F SWITCHING SYSTEM
The user deposits the message to the nearest switching node and thenetwork takes the responsibility for delivering the message.
Network moves the message from node to node and at a time only onelink is active thus line speeds are used efficiently.
S&F switching may be classified as
1: Message switching2: Packet switching
In message switching node processor performs1: Receive the full user message and store the same2: Check the message for data transmission errors and perform error
recovery if required3: Determine the destination address from the message.4: Choose an appropriate link towards destination based on certainrouting criterion5: Forward the message to the next node on the chosen link.

DRAW BACKS OF MESSAGE SWITCHING ANDADVANTAGES OF PACKET SWITCHING
MESSAGE SWITCHING For long messages it becomes important to ensure thatthere is adequate storage space on the receiving nodebefore transmission is initiated.
If error occurs during transmission, the entire messagemay have to be retransmitted.
If an urgent short message is received duringtransmission of long message, it has to wait untiltransmission of long message is completed.
PACKET SWITCHING
In packet switching messages are split into a number ofpackets (often of fixed sizes) at source and assembledback at the destination.
Packets are transmitted in S&F fashion.
Each packet transmission is independent of others. Theymay travel different path and arrive at destination with
different delays.

PACKET FORMAT IN PACKET SWITCHING
Every packet need to carry complete address information along
with Actual data,viz1:Destination Identifier
2: Source ID
3: Message ID
4: Packet ID

PACKET SWITCHING
The control field defines functions such as transfer of
i) Acknowledgements,
ii) Automatic repeat request (ARQ) and
iii) Packet sequencing
The information field contain the user data and may have variablelength.
The final field is CRC check used for Error Detection
Packet switching is also called Packet Radio in wireless links

TYPES OF DATA PACKET SERVICES
In order to be cost effective, packet networks offer two different forms
of services.1: DATAGRAM service
2: Virtual circuit service
In these services no resequencing is required to be done by thenetwork.
Datagram service is normally used for transmitting short messages ofone or two packet lengths.
In case of virtual circuit service, the route from the source to thedestination is fixed for all packets of a message. Here packetsequencing is maintained. The circuit so chosen is not locked to onemessage only but each node can be fixed for other messages alsosimultaneously. Hence called virtual.

The X.25 Protocol X.25 was developed by CCITT (now ITU-T) to provide standard connectionless
network access (packet switching) protocols for 1to 3 lowest layers of Open
System Interconnection (OSI Model)
The X.25 protocols provide a standard network interface between originatingand terminating subscriber equipment called DTE, the base station DCE, andMSC.
The X.25 protocols are used in many packet radio air-interface , as well as infixed networks
Layer 1 protocol deals with electrical, mechanical, procedural, and functionalinterface between subscriber( DTE), and the base station (DCE)
Layer 2 protocol defines the data link on the common air-interface between
subscriber and the base station. Layer 3 provides connection between the base station and MSC, and is called
the packet layer protocol.
A packet assembler disassambler (PAD) is used at layer 3 to connect networkusing the X.25 interface with devices that are not equipped with a standardx.25 interface.
