The Mobile Access Network Mobility Management • Mobile terminal identification – SIM card with unique id. – Data about SIM stored in HLR of operator who owns SIM – Phone calls directed to HLR of operator • Mobile terminal localization – – BSS regularly makes broadcasts in its cells Mobile selects best cell and sends its SIM id. Presence of mobile recorded in local VLR SIM’s owner HLR updated with applicable VLR • Handover – – 11 When location of mobile changes during conversation Circuit routing modified “on the fly” Sound quality briefly degraded Handover not available between different operators 10 -05 -K.

The Mobile Access Network Multi-path Interference Different paths have different lengths and different delays GSM : interference = noise UMTS : correlator adds similar input signals with appropriate delays so that they reinforce each other 18 10 -05 -K. Steenhaut & J. Tiberghien - VUB
The Mobile Access Network Third Generation Handover When a receiver is between two cells, both transmitters send the same signal. These two signals reinforce each other, as multipath propagation does. 19 10 -05 -K. Steenhaut & J. Tiberghien - VUB
