„Base Station Subsystem” of GSM

For the mobile phone standard  Global System for Mobile Communications  - abbreviated  GSM - the network infrastructure includes the following subsystems:

  • Base Station Subsystem   (BSS),
  • Switching & Management Subsystem   (SMSS),
  • Operation & Maintenance Subsystem   (OMSS).

The  Base Station Subsystem  is mainly responsible for the GSM radio network (see diagram), while the  Switching & Management Subsystem  represents the switching network and the  Operation & Maintenance Subsystem  is responsible for operation and maintenance.

The following terms will continue to be used in the questions on these tasks:

  • Authentication Center   (AUC)
  • Base Station Controller   (BSC),
  • Base Transceiver Station   (BTS),
  • Gateway Mobile Switching Center   (GMSC),
  • Home Location Register   (HLR),
  • Mobile Switching Center   (MSC),
  • Operation and Maintenance Center   (OMC),
  • Visitor Location Register   (VLR).




Notes:



Fragebogen

1

With which of the three subsystems does the mobile station communicate?

With the BSS,
the SMSS,
the OMSS.

2

Which statements apply to a Base Transceiver Station (BTS)?

It includes the base station's transmitting and receiving devices.
The task of the BTS is to switch calls.
In most cases, several BTS are subordinate to a common BSC.

3

How many links can a BTS with multiple antennas support if each antenna covers a sector of  $120^\circ$ ?

$N_{\rm max}\ = \ $

4

Which of the following components are part of the OMSS?

The GMSC
The MSC
The OMC

5

Which of the following components are databases?

The AUC
The GMSC
The HLR
The VLR


Sample Solution

Solution

(1)  Each mobile station (MS) is in communication with a base transceiver station (BTS). This is part of the Base Station Subsystem (BSS)   ⇒   solution 1.


(2)  Correct are the statements 1 and 3. In contrast, the base transceiver station is not responsible for switching tasks, but this is rather the task of a mobile switching center (MSC), which is part of the switching and management subsystem (SMSS).

(3) If, as is usually the case with GSM, the individual antennas cover $120^\circ$ sectors, a BTS can provide up to three connection paths   ⇒   $N_{\rm max} \hspace{0.15cm}\underline{= 3}$.


(4)  Only the Operation and Management Center (OMC) belongs to the OMSS   ⇒   Proposal 3 .

  • In contrast, MSC and GMSC are components of the mobile switching network (SMSS).
  • With regard to OMC, a distinction is made between OMC-B (for BSS monitoring) and OMC-S (for SMSS monitoring).

(5)  solutions 1, 3 und 4 are correct:

  • The Gateway Mobile Switching Center (GMSC) is a hardware unit that is responsible for switching between the fixed network and the mobile network.
  • The other three terms given actually describe databases of the Switching & Management Subsystem (SMSS).
  • The Authentication Center (AUC) is responsible for the storage of confidential data and keys.
  • The Home Location Register (HLR) is a central register for the entire Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) for managing unencrypted subscriber data, subscribed services and routing for calls from a mobile operator's own subscribers.
  • Contrary, the Visitors' Location Register (VLR) contains information about the current visitors of other operators who are located in the current PLMN.
