VOICE SWITCHING IN CELLULAR NETWORKS :Operation subsystem and features

1. Operation subsystem :

The third part of a GSM system, the Operation subsystem(OSS), contains the necessary functions for network operation and maintenance.This consists of following:

● operation and maintenance center(OMC): The OMC monitors and controls all other networks entities via the O interface.

● Authentication centre(AUC): As the radio interface and mobile stations are particularly vulnerable, a separate AUC has been defined to protect user identity and data transmission.

● Equipment identity register(EIR): The EIR is a database for all IMEIs, i.e., it stores all device identifications registered for this network.

CELLULAR NETWORK : Features

• It includes cells ,clusters,frequency reuse and handovers

• Cells are base stations transmitting over small geographical areas that are represented as hexagons

• A cluster is a group of cells where no channels are reused

• The concept of frequency reuse is based on assigning to each cell a group of radio channels so that their frequencies do not interfere
