Cellular Telecommunication

• A cellular telephone system links mobile station
  (MS) subscribers into the public telephone system
  or to another cellular systems MS subscriber.
• GSM networks are made up of Mobile services
  Switching Centres (MSC), Base Station Systems
  (BSS)and Mobile Stations (MS).
• The cells are normally represented by a hexagon,
  but in practice they are irregular in shape. This
  is as a result of the influence of the
  surrounding terrain, or of design by the network
  planners

• The two main types of operators are
• mobile network operators (MNOs)
• Ex Nokia Siemens Networks
• mobile service operators (MSOs)
• Ex Vodafone
• Recently a new business concept called MVNO has
  emerged.
• Mobile Virtual Network Operators was introduced
  first in Europe with an intention to bring the
  cost of calling /data service by increasing
  competition in market.

MVNO

• SIM-based mobile services without the network or
  rights to the required radio spectrum.
• MVNOs can be described as a subgroup of MSOs.
• The radio capacity used to provide these services
  is gained through commercial agreements with
  licensed mobile network operators.
• MVNOs deliver their own SIM cards and take care
  of the branding, marketing, billing and customer
  care.
• The simplified business objective would be to
  maximize the profit of the total business, i.e.
• Profit ARPU
  Customers Cost

Continued

• Business strategy scenarios
• low price
• Narrow focus a cell phone user may be able to
  subscribe to a network operator plus multiple
  MVNOs for specific data services over the same
  phone. One MVNO could provide sports news,
  another weather and traffic
• Service differentiation providing value added
  service to .
  
  demanding customers like organisations
  which need both landline aswell as mobile
  service.
• Service reselling MVNO with strong technology
  competences but low brand value can select to
  become a reseller and enabler for other MVNOs
  already having a strong brand
• International clustering Global and regional
  MNOs can select to enter a new country as a MVNO
  instead of investing
• in or acquiring a local MNO

New Generation Network

• Next big thing to happen in telecom.
• It is a packet-based network which can provide
  services including Telecommunication Services and
  able to make use of multiple broadband.
• For voice applications one of the most important
  devices in NGN is a Softswitch a programmable
  device that controls Voice over IP (VoIP) calls.
  It enables correct integration of different
  protocols within NGN
• Use of intelligent networks to send both data and
  voice as packets through common data channel.
• Just like VOIP, but today its implemented only by
  specific organizations for their specific use.
• Imagine telecom Giant like BSNL implementing
  VOIP throughout the country that is NGN

Long Term Evolution (LTE)

• It is a dominant mobile data technology for the
  next decade.
• It is a radio platform technology that will allow
  operators to achieve even higher peak throughputs
  than HSPA in higher spectrum bandwidth.
• LTE is part of the GSM evolutionary path for
  mobile broadband, following EDGE, UMTS, HSPA
  (HSDPA HSUPA combined) and HSPA Evolution
  (HSPA).  
• The first commercial LTE networks were launched
  by TeliaSonera in Norway and Sweden in December
  2009.
• LTE capabilities include Downlink peak data rates
  up to 326 Mbps Uplink peak data rates up to
  86.4 Mbps with 20 MHz bandwidth

• LTE provides an extremely high performance
  radio-access technology that offers full
  vehicular speed mobility and that can readily
  coexist with HSPA and earlier networks. Because
  of scalable bandwidth, operators will be able to
  easily migrate their networks and users from HSPA
  to LTE over time.
• LTE assumes a full Internet Protocol (IP) network
  architecture and is designed to support voice in
  the packet domain.
• It incorporates top-of-the-line radio techniques
  to achieve performance levels beyond what will be
  practical with CDMA approaches, particularly in
  larger channel bandwidths.
• LTE systems will coexist with 3G and 2G systems.
  Multimode devices will function across LTE/3G or
  even LTE/3G/2G, depending on market
  circumstances.

12
IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)

• It is a generic architecture for offering
  multimedia and voice over IP services, defined by
  3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
• IMS is access independent as it supports multiple
  access types including GSM, WCDMA, CDMA 2000,
  WLAN, Wireline broadband and other packet data
  applications.
• IMS will make Internet technologies, such as web
  browsing, e-mail, instant messaging and video
  conferencing available to everyone from any
  location.
• It allow operators to introduce new services,
  such as web browsing, WAP and MMS, at the top
  level of their packet-switched networks

13

• Capabilities and Benefits
• IMS provides a flexible IP media management and
  session control platform that operators can layer
  over their current network infrastructure.
• IMS allows operators to leverage long-term value
  of existing network equipment, reducing the
  capital investment associated with new service
  development and deployment.
• Access to network services can be secured through
  a web-friendly interface, enabling third-party
  developers, service providers and even
  subscribers to self-manage their service
  experience.
• Simplified, secure access for all parties means
  fewer network staff resources are needed to
  manage new services, which in turn reduces
  delivery and operations costs and offers higher
  pricing flexibility.
• Subscribers can control when and how they
  communicate. They can choose the most appropriate
  medium or combination of mediavideo, voice,
  text, images, or instant messagesall available
  simultaneously and in real time.
• Over the IP backbone, operators can quickly bring
  new services to market, targeting new segments to
  attract new revenue streams.

Liquid Technology.

• It promises to ease telecom network congestion
  and possibly change the market for such equipment
  for good.
• It shares network resources across mobile and
  broadband networks, similar to cloud computing.
• It is a solace for telecom operators around the
  world who are struggling with a shortage of
  network capacity as the use of video on
  smartphones and tablets proliferates.

Four key enablers to making networks more fluid

• Self-aware, self-adapting
• The network needs to be always aware of the
  user demand, service needs and its current
  operational state.
• Software-defined applications on multi-purpose
  hardware
• Network applications, mainly hardware
  independent, defined by software and highly
  configurable, running on multi-purpose platforms,
  achieve flexible capacity across the network.
• Inter-linked architecture
• Liquid Net features a much more inter-linked
  architecture that allows capacity and processing
  to flow freely across the network.
• Investment-protection, evolution
• Innovation often comes at a price the need
  to replace existing infrastructure with new
  equipment, wasting previous investments.

Liquid Net Tapping into the future ofbroadband

• Liquid Radio Redefining base station-based
  architecture
• It self-adapts its capacity and coverage to match
  fluctuating user demand. Through baseband
  pooling, it redefines the conventional structure
  of base stations and repositions their components
  in new ways to achieve unprecedented scalability.
  
• It also offers Heterogeneous Networks, which
  enable all network layers to be used as a
  logically unified network.
• Another aspect of Liquid Radio is Active Antenna
  System technology, which supports multiradio and
  multi-band access for GSM, 3G, LTE and
  LTE-Advanced, providing up to 65 capacity gain.
• Liquid Core The foundation of the broadband
  experience
• Fluidity in the core network (IMS functions)
  smartly tailors and delivers services and
  content, and dynamically provides the capacity
  needed to ensure the best customer experience at
  the lowest cost.
• Intelligent Broadband Management allows a network
  that is aware of, and can adapt to, user demands
  to deliver the best customer experience at the
  lowest cost.

20

• Liquid Transport Free-flowing traffic across
  network layers
• The transport infrastructure implements fluidity
  to ensure services can be delivered to all
  possible clients simply and quickly, while
  keeping costs as low as possible.
• Liquid Transport achieves more flexibility and
  scalability by making the optical transport
  layer, the lowest layer with the least Total Cost
  of Ownership (TCO), more software configurable.
• It also introduces a multi-layer intelligent
  control plane to enable flexible, rapid and easy
  network operation and service provisioning.
