This requires the establishment of a Radio Resource (RR) nexus to multiple sclerosis. The prototypal phase of the call setup just sets up this RR connection. RR CHANNEL take RACH RR connection establishment is triggered by move the Channel petition subject matter. This nub orisons the Base Station System (BSS) for allocation for radio resources for the RR connection setup. The nimble now waits for an fitting on the Access Grant Channel (AGCH). At this engineer the liquid is listening to the AGCH for a reply. Note The RR CHANNEL gather up is direct on a Random Access Channel (RACH). This is a slotted aloha lend that can be used at random, without any coordination between the mobiles. any mobile can pass around on this channel whenever it wishes. If two mobiles transmit on the channel at the same clock time, their messages w stroke be illogical in a collision.The mobiles will detect the collision via a timeout and conduct the message after a random back off. allocate TCH RR present(prenominal) ASSIGNMENT AGCH, Radio_Resource = (TCH, Frequency, Timeslot), Time Correction, Frequency Correction Apply the time and absolute frequency department of corrections Tune to the frequency and timeslot RR SABM + MM CM SERVICE REQUEST TCH, SAPI = 0 The BSS allocates a Traffic Channel (TCH) to the mobile. The TCH allocation assigns a specifies a frequency and a timeslot on that frequency. After the mobile tempts this message, the mobile shall only if use the specified resources for communication with the mobile network.The BSS transmits the radio resource assignment to the Mobile via the AGCH channel. The message also contains the time and frequency corrections. The time corrections allow the mobile to time its transmissions so that they reach the BSS only in the specified slot. The frequency corrections correct for the Doppler shift caused by the mobiles motion. come up the frequency and timing based on the advice from the BSS. This step is required so that transmissions from the mobile reach the base station at the precise time and with the correct frequency. The mobile detunes from the AGCH and tunes to the specified radio channel.This is the first message that is sent after tuning to the channel. The Mobile initiates a LAPm connection with the BSC by sending a Set Asynchronous Balanced Mode (SABM) message. The service request message meant for the MSC is also sent in this message. GSM Call Flow (GSM Originating Call) Cell Mobile Network Mobile Station Base Stations NSS User Mobile BSS MSC VLR RR UA Fixed Network PSTN PSTN TCH, SAPI = 0 SCCP conjunctive REQUEST + MM CM SERVICE REQUEST SS7 Check subscriber authentication EventStudio System Designer 4. 0 13-Sep-08 2138 (Page 2) The BSS replies with unnumberable greet (UA) to complete theLAPm setup handshake The BSS receives the CM Ser vice Request message from the mobile and forms a BSSMAP end LAYER 3 tuition. The BSS then piggy backs the message on the SCCP connection request message. LEG Skip Authentication Procedure MSC checks if the subscriber has been authenticated. In this case, the subscriber has already been authenticated, so the authentication procedure is skipped. Enable Ciphering BSSMAP CIPHER fashion COMMAND Expect ciphered information from the mobile RR CIPHERING MODE COMMAND expressive style = CLEAR Enable ciphering for received and transmitted data RR CIPHERING MODE come mode = CIPHEREDEnable ciphering of data transmitted to the mobile BSSMAP CIPHER MODE COMPLETE Since the subscriber has been successfully authenticated, the MSC initiates ciphering of the data being sent on the channel. The channel is ciphered so as so protect the call from eavesdropping. Ciphering on the radio link is enabled in three steps. As a first step, the BSS starts expecting ciphered data from the mobile but continues to send data in clear. Since the mobile has not been informed about the ciphering, all data received from the mobile will be in error. The BSS sends the CIPHERING MODE COMMAND to the mobile. The mobile ill be able to receive this message as the transmission from the BSS is unbosom in clear. As a second step, the Mobile receives the message and enables ciphering in transmit and receive directions. This action will result in all BSS data being received in error. (The BSS is still transmitting data in clear. ) Ciphering has already been enabled, so this message is transmitted with ciphering. The BSS will receive this message as it is already expecting ciphered data in the receive direction. The deuce-ace and final step in the ciphering handshake. The BSS enables the ciphering in transmit direction. From this oint on ciphering is enabled in both directions. BSS replies back to the MSC, indicating that ciphering has been successfully enabled. RR Connection Establishment Completed At t his point a connection has been setup between the Mobile and the MSC. From this point onward, the BSS is just acting as a conduit for transporting the signaling messages between the Mobile and the MSC. Call Setup CC SETUP Dialed Digits The Mobile sends the setup message to establish a function call.

ISUP I NITIAL ADDRESS MESSAGE SS7, Dialed DigitsCC ALERTING The MSC allocates a vocalize circuit on one the digital trunks between the MSC and the BSS. MSC informs the BSS about the allocated voice circuit. The call is also switched from signaling to voice. The BSS notifies the Mobile about the changeover to voice mode. Mobile acknowledges. The MSC routes the call and sends the call towards the called subscriber ISUP ADDRESS COMPLETE MESSAGE The PSTN indicates to the MSC that it has received all the digits and the called SS7 subscriber is being rung.

The BSS initiates RR release with the mobile. The BSS informs the the MSC that the RR connection has been released. The mobile sends a disconnect message to release the LAPm connection. The BSS replies with an Unnumbered Acknowledge message. The BSS releases the TCH channel. Mobile goes back to the default display to indicate that call has been whole released.
