Migration to 3G Networks Why 3G?
Existing mobile networks (GSM/CDMA) were designed to handle voice traffic and voice-oriented services. Then, when they were introduced into the market it turned out that, other than voice-oriented, additional services (SMS to set an example) gained unexpected popularity. The need for data transmission through mobile networks has been growing gradually together with Internet popularity. Therefore some network upgrades had to be introduced into existing mobile networks (HSCSD, GPRS). However, these improvements provide only limited capability (e.g. GPRS - up to 50kbit/s in reality). They don't provide flexible, variable data speed, supporting Quality of Service solutions. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

UMTS Architecture A UMTS network consist of three interacting domains;
Core Network (CN), UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) and User Equipment (UE). The main function of the core network is to provide switching, routing and transit for user traffic. Core network also contains the databases and network management functions. The basic Core Network architecture for UMTS is based on GSM network with GPRS. All equipment has to be modified for UMTS operation and services. The UTRAN provides the air interface access method for User Equipment. Base Station is referred as Node-B and control equipment for Node-B's is called Radio Network Controller (RNC). UMTS system page has an example, how UMTS network could be build.

USIM Protocol Stack A Universal Subscriber Identity Module is an application for UMTS mobile telephony running on a UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card ) smart card which is inserted in a 3G mobile phone. There is a common misconception to call the UICC card itself a USIM, but the USIM is merely a logical entity on the physical card. It stores user subscriber information, authentication information and provides storage space for text messages and phone book contacts. The phone book on a UICC has been greatly enhanced. For authentication purposes, the USIM stores a long-term preshared secret key K, which is shared with the Authentication Center (AuC) in the network. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

The USIM also verifies a sequence number that must be within a range using a window mechanism to avoid replay attacks, and is in charge of generating the session keys CK and IK to be used in the confidentiality and integrity algorithms of the KASUMI block cipher in UMTS.

Handover Handover basically means changing the point of connection while communicating. Old Concept Whenever Mobile Station is connected to 1 BaseStation and there is a need to change to anotherBase Station, it is known as HANDOVER. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

New Concept When mobile station switches from one set of radio resources to another set, HANDOVER is said to have taken place. Radio resources Radio resources Set I Set II HANDOVER IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

HANDOFF DECISIONS There are numerous methods for performing handoff. From the decision process point of view, one can find at least three different kinds of handoff decisions. Network-Controlled Handoff Mobile-Assisted Handoff Mobile-Controlled Handoff IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

Network-Controlled Handoff:
In a network-controlled handoff protocol, the network makes a handoff decision based on the measurements of the MSs at a number of BSs. In general, the handoff process takes 100–200 ms. Network-controlled handoff is used in first-generation analog systems such as AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System), TACS(Total Access Communication System), and NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephone). IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

Mobile-Assisted Handoff
In a mobile-assisted handoff process, the MS makes measurements and the network makes the decision. In the circuit-switched GSM (global system mobile), the BS controller (BSC) is in charge of the radio interface management. This mainly means allocation and release of radio channels and handoff management. The handoff time between handoff decision and execution in a circuit- switched GSM is approximately 1 second. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

Mobile-Controlled Handoff
In mobile-controlled handoff, each MS is completely in control of the handoff process. This type of handoff has a short reaction time (in the order of 0.1 second). MS measures the signal strengths from surrounding BSs and interference levels on all channels. A handoff can be initiated if the signal strength of the serving BS is lower than that of another BS by a certain threshold. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

TYPES OF HANDOVER HARD HANDOVER SOFT HANDOVER HORIZONTAL HANDOVER
VERTICAL HANDOVER IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

HARD HANDOVER “BREAK BEFORE MAKE”•
Old connection is broken before a new connection is activated Primarily used in FDMA and TDMA systems (e.g. GSM) Different frequency ranges used in adjacent cells to minimize the interference IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

Mechanism of Hard Handover
The base station BS1 on one cell site hands off the mobile station(MS)’s callto another cell BS2. The link to the prior base station, BS1 is terminated before the user istransferred to the new cell’s base station, BS2. The MS is linked to no morethan one BS at any given time. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

CHARACTERISTICS A Hard handover is relatively cheaper and easier to implement in comparison to other types of Handover. It is primarily used in FDMA (frequency division multiple access) and TDMA (time division multiple access), where different frequency ranges are used in adjacent channels in order to minimize channel interference. It is simpler as phones hardware does not need to be capable of receiving two or more channels in parallel. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

INTER-CELL AND INTRA-CELL HANDOVER
The inter-cell handover switches a call in progressfrom one cell to another cell, and the intra-cellhandover switches a call in progress from one physicalchannel of a cell to another physical channel of thesame cell. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

SOFT HANDOVER “MAKE BEFORE BREAK”
New connection is activated before the old is broken Used in UMTS to improve the signal quality • Uplink and downlink signals may be combined for better signal A mobile may in UMTS spend a large part of the connection time in soft handover Better connection reliability• More seamless handover. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

MECHANISM OF SOFT HANDOVER

The call is first connected to the new base station BS2 and then it is dropped by the previous base station BS1. The call will be established only when a reliable connection to the target cell is obtained. The MS is linked to two BS for a brief interval of time. Thus soft handover involves connection to more than one cell. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

CHARACTERISTICS It offers more reliable access continuity in network connection and less chances of a call termination during switching of base stations in comparison to a Hard handoff. It is commonly used in CDMA (Code-division multiple access) systems that enables the overlapping of the repeater coverage zones, so that every cell phone set is always well within range of at least one of the base stations. Technical implementation of a Soft handoff is more expensive and complex in comparison to a Hard handoff. It is used in sensitive communication services such as videoconferencing. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

SOFTER HANDOVER Softer handover is the situation where one base station receives two user signals from two adjacent sectors it serves. In the case of softer handover the base station receives 2 separated signals through multi-path propagation. Due to reflections on buildings or natural barriers the signal sent from the mobile stations reaches the base station from two different sectors. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

HORIZONTAL HANDOVER Horizontal handover is when a mobile terminal changes its point of connection within the same type of network E.g. from a cell to another in GSM E.g. from an access point to another in WiFi• Reasons for handover Worse signal quality or loss of signal Traffic load balancing Cost IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

VERTICAL HANDOVER Vertical handover or vertical handoff refers to a network node changing the type of connectivity it uses to access a supporting infrastructure, usually to support node mobility Vertical handovers refer to the automatic fall over from one technology to another in order to maintain communication. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

CAPABILITIES OF VERTICAL HANDOVER AS COMPARED TO HORIZONTAL HANDOVER
Usage of different access technologies Usage of multiple network interfaces Usage of multiple IP addresses Usage of multiple (changeable) QoS parameters Usage of multiple network connections (multi-homing features) IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

HANDOFF FAILURES Because frequencies cannot be reused in adjacent cells, when a user moves from one cell to another, a new frequency must be allocated for the call. If a user moves into a cell when all available channels are in use, the user’s call must be terminated. Problem of signal interference where adjacent cells overpower each other resulting in receiver desensitization is also there.

NAS(Network Attached Storage)

In the past, floppy drives with capacities in mere KB’s were widely used to share data files. Over time the need for larger and larger capacity has emerged due to growing need for data to be shared across organizations. Removable storage media, such as flash drives, are capable of storing gigabytes (GB) of data have now complimented the traditional removable media drives. Businesses not only need the capacity to handle huge data storage requirements, the need to share their data has made Network Attached Storage (NAS) an attractive option. NAS systems use external storage for server/hosts, adding flexibility to network storage. NAS works at the file level, rather than the block level. This enables widespread access to the data over the network, based upon the file system client loaded. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

What is NAS NAS is shared storage on a network infrastructure using a unique addressing schema. A NAS server is a storage device that consists of a high performance file server and attached to a LAN. It is a single-purpose machine serving as a dedicated, high-performance, high-speed communication gateway to file data. Note: A NAS device is sometimes called an appliance or filer. The NAS head (as illustrated) could be remote from its storage (gateway) or contained within the same cabinet as its storage—so that the storage is dedicated to NAS applications (integrated). IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

Real-time OS dedicated to file serving Open standard protocols
Unlike a general-purpose server, such as a Unix or NT server, a NAS server is a device optimized for file serving functions such as storing, retrieving, and serving files. A single function NAS device provides: Real-time OS dedicated to file serving Open standard protocols Built-in native clustering for high availability IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

The following are some benefits of NAS:
Supports global information access Enables greater file sharing, even over a long distance Supports many-to-one or one-to-many configurations Can share data across platforms Improves efficiency through specialized OS, optimized for file serving Eliminates bottlenecks encountered when accessing files from central file server Relieves IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

Flexibility - works with many types of clients on both UNIX and Microsoft Windows platforms using Industry standard protocols. Centralizes storage – minimizes duplication on client workstations, reducing management complexity and improving data protection. Simplifies management - leverages existing security infrastructure through standard network protocols. Single point of management for multiple systems for multiple data sets. Identifies data by file name and byte offsets, transfers file data or file meta-data. Scalable - Due to its high performance, low latency design, enables NAS to scale well and depending upon utilization profiles, address many differing types of business applications. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

Replication and recovery options
High availability Replication and recovery options Can safely centralize large amounts of user data behind a single NAS device with redundant networking equipment to provide maximum connectivity options. Clustering technology for failover in the event of filer failure Handles security, user authentication, and file locking in IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

A NAS device is made up of the following components:
Network Interface via one or more Network Interface Cards (NICs) Examples: Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mb/s), Fast Ethernet (10Mb/s), ATM, and FDDI. Network File Systems (NFS) and Common Internet File Systems (CIFS) protocols Proprietary, optimized Windows, UNIX, or LINUX based OS. Examples: DART - Data Access in Real Time (EMC) Data ONTAP (Network Appliance) Industry standard storage protocols to connect to and manage physical disk storage resources. Examples: Serial ATA (SATA), SCSI, or Fibre Channel IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

Most NAS devices support multi-protocol file services to handle file I/O requests to the remote file system. The more common protocols for file sharing are: Network File Systems (NFS) - developed by Sun and closely aligned with UNIX-based operating systems Common Internet File Systems (CIFS) – developed by Microsoft and closely aligned with Windows-based operating systems IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

While CIFS and NFS are file system protocols, it is important to understand how the network transport protocols of IP, TCP, and FTP fit into the picture. OSI model (developed by the ISO standards body) - defines the specific layers that are responsible for communication tasks. Internet Protocol Suite – defines a group of open-system (non-proprietary) protocols that communicate across interconnected networks (LAN/WAN). This suite includes both low layer protocols (e.g., IP and TCP) as well as common applications such as electronic mail, terminal emulation, and file transfer (FTP). IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

IP is a network-layer protocol that contains addressing information and some control information, enabling packets to be routed. In NAS, the back-end connects to its storage most often using Fibre Channel interconnectivity and the front-end/client connectivity most often via the TCP/IP protocol. If any client wants to access a file from NAS system, it requests the file directly. The NAS system then converts this request in block level access and retrieves data from storage and presents data to client as a complete file. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

NFS and CIFS protocols handle file I/O requests to the remote file system, which is managed by the NAS device. I/O requests are packaged by the requestor into TCP/IP and forwarded through the network stack, transported across the network, and received by the NAS. The NAS converts the protocol request into an appropriate physical storage request (block I/O), and then performs the operation against the physical storage pool. The data returned from the physical storage pool is then processed by the NAS and repackaged into an appropriate file protocol response. This response is packaged into TCP/IP again and forwarded through the network to the client. This example shows an operation being directed to the remote NAS device and how the different protocols and software layers play a part in moving the request and response between the client and NAS. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

Due to the structure of the specialized operating system on NAS devices, multiple protocol stacks can be simultaneously supported, thereby allowing disparate systems access to the storage simultaneously. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

Radio Resource Control (RRC)

RRC service states Idle Mode:
– After UE is switched on it will camp in the a suitable cell. After camping: – User is able to send and receive system and cell broadcasting information. – In the idle mode until it transmits a request to establish RRC connection. Cell_DCH – Entered from Idle Mode or by establishing a DCH from the Cell_FACH state. – DPCH and physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is allocated to UE. – UE is in this mode until explicit signalling for Cell_FACH.

User-plane Protocol Stack

- Integrity Protection - Ciphering.
RLC and MAC sublayers (terminated in eNB on the network side) perform the following functions - Scheduling - ARQ - HARQ PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer (terminated in aGW on the network side) performs for the user plane the following functions - Header Compression - Integrity Protection - Ciphering. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

PDCP PDCP is Packet Data Convergence Protocol.
It is one of the layers of the Radio Traffic Stack in UMTS and performs IP header compression and decompression, transfer of user data and maintenance of sequence numbers for Radio Bearers which are configured for lossless serving radio network subsystem (SRNS) relocation. The compression technique can be based on either RFC 2507 or RFC 3095. RFC 1144 can also be used for some background information, and although the techniques in the RFC are not used in modern TCP/IP implementations, it still shows what the compression/decompression technique looks like. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

PDCP header consists of two fields: PID and PDU TYPE.
If PDCP is configured for No Compression it will send the IP Packets without compression; otherwise it will compress the packets according to its configuration by upper layer and attach a PDCP header and send the packet. It uses the service provided by a lower layer called Radio Link Control (RLC) that uses the Radio Link Protocol. PDCP header consists of two fields: PID and PDU TYPE. PDU Type field indicates whether the PDU is Data PDU or Sequence Number PDU. PID field value indicates header compression protocol type used and packet type or CID. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

(RLC)Radio Link Control
The main functions of the layer are segmentation and reassembly of RLC top layer of packages in order to adapt them to the size that can be effectively transmitted over the radio interface. For radio bearers which are in need of transmission errors, the RLC is relayed to discover how to recover from packet losses. In addition, the RLC Reordering performed to compensate for out-of-order Receipt due to hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) Layer below. There is only one entity per RLC radio spokesman. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

MAC (Medium Access Control) layer
This layer performs the multiplexing of data for a variety of radio carriers. Therefore, it is not only one of the MAC for the UE. Determining the amount of data that can be transmitted from each radio bearer layer, the size of the packet, RLC and instructing on the MAC layer to achieve negotiated Quality of Service (QoS) for each radio bearer. Uplink, this process involves communication of the amount of data to transfer the eNodeB On the sending side, each layer receives a data service unit (SDU) from the higher layers, layer provides services and outputs the Protocol data unit (PDU) to the lower layer. A layer of RLC receives packets from PDCP layers. These packages are called PDUs with the PDCP point of view, and represent the PDCP RLC SDUs perspective, RLC. A layer of RLC creates packages that are scheduled for the layer below, i.e., the MAC layer. IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

WiMax Internetworking with 3GPP
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) unites [Six] telecommunications standard development organizations known as “Organizational Partners” and provides their members with a stable environment to produce the highly successful Reports and Specifications that define 3GPP technologies. The Four Technical Specification Groups (TSG) in 3GPP are Radio Access Networks (RAN), Service & Systems Aspects (SA), Core Network & Terminals (CT) and GSM EDGE Radio Access Networks (GERAN). IFETCE/M.E (CSE) /RAJESH.R/I YEAR/I SEM/ NE7002/MPC/UNIT-II/PPT/VERSION 1.1

3GPP technologies from these groups are constantly evolving through Generations of commercial cellular / mobile systems Since the completion of the first LTE and the Evolved Packet Core specifications, 3GPP has become the focal point for mobile systems beyond 3G.
