A Novel Model for Multilayer GSM Network Design
GSM Network Designs usually offers big challenges for achieving an efficient cost while respecting the complex combinatorial technical constraints. This networks have hundreds or thousands BTS (Base Transceiver Station). They have their traffic grouped in hubs, then in BSC (Base Station Controller) nodes to reach the MSC. Hubs must be elected within the BTS set and BSC nodes have to be geographically allocated in the available sites. Also, the number and model of these BSC impact in the overall cost while the distances affect the transmission costs. This paper presents a mathematical model for designing a GSM network from the BTS lower layer until the MSC layer.

Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) a group of telecommunication associations working towards the development and maintenance of a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) including evolved radio access technologies, has started working on Long-Term Evolution advanced (LTE-Advanced) in order to achieve the requirements of next generation technology. The key goals for this evolution are increased data rate, improved spectrum efficiency, improved coverage and reduced latency. The end results of these goals are significantly improving service provisioning and reduction of operator costs for different traffic scenarios. The requirements for LTE-Advanced are agreed and the radio interface techniques are currently under discussion.

Software Defined Radio is emerging as a new trend in the field of wireless communication. The Software Defined Radio is aimed for providing single radio unit, which can operate on different wireless and mobile standards only by modifying its software. The study of wireless communication systems reveals that integration of various wireless communication technologies is a goal of next generation communication system and it is a major challenge.

This paper discusses a new method of generating rural radio network plan for GSM based on ASSET3G parameter tuning and identification of uncovered areas. The network planning has been carried out using digital clutter, terrain and vector data as input to ASSET3G whose default parameters have been fine tuned using measurement data of plane and rolling hill terrains. The ASSET3G parameters have been tuned to achieve the closest matching plot between the measured and ASSET3G generated values of path loss at 320 MHz. It is shown that the upper bound of mean error, standard deviation and path loss exponents for plane and hilly terrains are 5, 6 & 2.40 and 9, 11 and 3.13 respectively, which is below their respective acceptable limits.

Vodafone D2 operates one of the world's largest GSM networks. It has over 7,000 employees servicing over 22 million subscribers - representing nearly 40% of the German mobile market. With fierce competition to win over subscribers, Vodafone D2 realised that, as the market matured, offering the best product lines would be only half the battle. The ability to provide quality support services would also be essential to help influence the subscriber's choice of mobile network. Vodafone D2 decided on an integrated solution from Intervoice that combined voice response with data processing. From concept to build to launch, the QuickCheck service was active within six months.

The rapid and apparently irresistible growth in SIM memory size has been continuous since the beginning of GSM. Based on a recent survey (Nov. 2006), the GSM Association's Smart Card Group predicted that 128K SIM cards would overtake 64K before the end of 2006, and that the increase in SIM memory size would continue accelerating in coming years. As of the start of 2007, own figures confirm this prediction. New business opportunities and better service offerings have led mobile operators to deploy SIMs with memories from just 8K to megabytes. Increases in SIM memory size only reflect the key role of the SIM card in helping MNOs address their day-to-day operational challenges.

The basic idea behind this paper is to integrate GSM module with PC mother board. The GSM Gateway (trunk) that provides GSM Air interface facility to the IP PBX (Asterisk). Making outgoing calls to any GSM mobile/Landline from any registered extension of IP PBX (Asterisk) will bypass costly PSTN line.

The webinar discusses the need for wireless carriers to take control of their own network synchronization, rather than continuing to rely on clock recovery from legacy wireline backhaul connections which present a point of vulnerability for these networks focused on mobile and real-time services. In mobile networks, timing improves mobile hand-offs, call continuity and call completion rates. Proper synchronization can reduce dropped calls by 10 to 25 percent. Providing customers with a consistent service experience is the key to higher customer satisfaction and lower churn.

Despite its imperfections, GSM security has stood well the test of time. In part, this security success has relied on closed platforms that prevent the end-user from tampering with the GSM protocol stacks. While it is possible to build phones that do not have such restrictions, this is difficult due to, e.g., legislation and technical complexity. Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) is a new technology that provides access to GSM services over Wireless LAN or Bluetooth. This paper examines the security implications of UMA for GSM security, focusing especially on the impact of open terminal platforms.
