Wireless wide area networks
• WWAN is a form of wireless network which uses
mobile
telecommunication
cellular
network
technologies such as Global System for Mobile
Communications (GSM),
General Packet Radio
Service
(GPRS),
Universal
Mobile
Telecommunications
System
(UMTS),
Code

data.
•WWAN
can also use Local Multipoint
Distribution Service (LMDS) and Wi-Fi to connect to
the Internet.
•WWAN connectivity allows a user with a laptop and a
WWAN card to surf the web, check email, or connect to
a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from anywhere

Cellular networks
• A cellular network uses a large number of low-power wireless
transmitters to create cells - the basic geographic service area
of a wireless communications system.
• Mobile users travel from cell to cell, their conversations
are handed of between cells to maintain seamless service.
• Channels (frequencies) used in
one
cell
can
be
reused in
another cell some distance away.
• Cells can be added to accommodate growth, creating new cells
in unserved areas or overlaying cells in existing areas.
• Examples of this type of networks are GSM, PCS
(Personal communication systems) and UMTS/IMT 2000
(Universal Mobile
Telecommunications
System
/International Mobile Telecommunications).
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Principles of cellular networks
• The cellular architecture consists of a backbone
network with fixed base stations (BSs) interconnected
through a fixed network (usually wired), and of mobile
stations (MSs) that communicate with the base stations via
wireless links.
• The geographic area within which mobile stations
(MSs) can communicate with a particular base station
(BS) is referred to a cell.
• Neighboring cells overlap with each other, thus
ensuring continuity of communications when the users
move from one cell to another.
• The MSs communicate with each other,
and with
other networks, through the base stations and the
backbone network.
• A set of channels (frequencies)
are allocated to
each base
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
station.
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Principles of cellular networks
(Contd..)
• Communication area is divided into hexagonal cells. Cell
dimensions range from hundreds of meters till tens
of kilometers.
• Each cell is served by a BS formed by a transceiver and a
control unit. Each cell is allocated a frequency band
for communication.
• Communication from MS to
BS
uses
reverse
link and
communication from BS to MS uses forward link.
• Frequency reuse is a technique of reusing frequencies and
channels within a cellular network to improve the
network capacity.
• Cells
that reuse the
same frequency
must
be
distant

Handoff in cellular networks
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Handoff
• The procedure of moving from one cell to
another, while a call is in progress, is
called handoff.
• While performing handoff, the MS requires
that the BS in the cell where it has moved
allocates a channel.
– If channel is not available in the new cell, the
handoff call is blocked and blocking is called
handoff blocking.
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Handoff (Contd..)
• The QoS (Quality of Service) of a cellular network is
determined by new call and handoff blocking
probabilities.
• Blocking probabilities can be reduced by increasing
the capacity of the cellular networks.
• Capacity of Cellular networks can be increased
– by applying efficient power control algorithms or
– by reducing the size of the cells or
– by increasing the number of channels in each cell.
• High cost solution
– Reduced cells size
– Adding supplementary channels
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Other methods to increase capacity
in cellular networks
• Frequency borrowing: congested cells use
frequencies taken from adjacent cells where less
traffic is observed.
• Cell sectoring: cells are divided into sectors and each
sector is allocated its own set of frequencies. BSs use
directional antennas to cover sectors.
• Microcells and picocells: a microcell covers a range
of about 500 m and a picocell covers a range of about
10 m.
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Example
A cellular network has a total bandwidth 56 MHz. If two 35 KHz
simplex channels are used to provide full duplex voice and control
channels, compute the number of channels available per cell if
a system uses (a) 4-cell reuse, (b) 7-cell reuse, (c) 12-cell reuse.
Solution:
•Given that the total available bandwidth is 56 MHz = 56,000 KHz.
•Channel bandwidth = 35 KHz x 2 simplex channels = 70 KHz/duplex
channels.
•Total available channels = 56,000/70 = 800 channels.
•let N denotes cell reuse.
•(a) For N = 4, Total number of channels available per cell = 800/4 =
200 channels.
•(b) For N = 7, Total number of channels available per cell = 800/7 =
115 channels.
•(c) For N = 12, Total number of channels available per cell =
800/12 =
67 channels.
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Example
In
a
cellular
network
with
hexagonal cells, it is forbidden to
reuse
a frequency band in an
adjacent cell. If 915 frequencies are
many
frequencies
can be used in a
available,
how
given cell?
Solution:
Given that the cell shape is hexagonal,
hence it has six neighbors. If the
central cell uses frequency group A,
its six neighbors can use B, C, B, C B,
and C respectively. In other words,
only 3 unique cells are needed.
Therefore each cell can have (915/3)
or 305 frequencies.
Example scenario
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Example
Consider a cellular network with 64 cells. Each hexagonal cell has an
approximate area 10 km2. The total number of radio channels allotted for the
network is 336.
•What is the total area covered by the cellular network.
•Find the total number of channels of the network, if (a) N = 4, (b) N = 7, (c)
N = 12, where N denotes cell reuse.
Solution:
•Total number of cells = 64. Each cell area = 10 km2.
•The total area covered by the cellular network is, 64 X 10 = 640
km2.
•It is given that the total available channels in the network = 336.
•(a) For N = 4, the available channels in a cell = 336/4 = 84
– Total channels = 84 X 64 = 5,376 channels.
•(b) For N = 7 , the available channels in a cell = 336/7 = 48
– Total channels = 48 X 64 = 3,072 channels.
•(c) For N = 12, the available channels in a cell = 336/12 = 28
– Total channels = 28 X 64 = 1,792 channels.

GSM
•Salient features of GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications)
•Frequency band: originally designed for 900 MHz band, later for 1800 MHz
•Channels: 200 full-duplex channels per cell.
– Each channel consists of a downlink frequency and an uplink frequency.
•Circuit switched
– suffers from high error rate, CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) can be
used to over come this problem.
•Speed: see Chapter 1.
•Hybrid frequency-division/time-division multiple access (FDMA/TDMA):
– FDMA divides 25 MHz allocated bandwidth into 125 carrier frequencies
that are spaced 200 kHz apart.
– Eight burst periods (slots) are grouped into a TDMA frame (approx.
4.615 ms, i.e., 0.577 ms for one slot).
–A physical channel is one burst period per TDMA frame. Slow frequency
hopping at up to 217 times per second.
–Services: Supports value added services such as SMS (Short Message
Service), access to Internet, Wireless Application Protocol, call forwarding, etc.

authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Handover in cellular networks
(Contd..)
The operation sequence for handover is as follows
1.When a Mobile Station moves to a new MSC, it requests for
location update.
2.New MSC enters subscribers details in associated (new) VLR
by requesting update location area.
3.New VLR forwards location update to HLR.
4.HLR requests old VLR to delete subscribers entry. At the same
time it also sends the subscriber's details to new VLR.

Network (PSTN)
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Call set-up scenario from PSTN to
the MS
1. From PSTN, the call is requested
to
the
GMSC
for
the
mobile station.
2. GMSC transfers the call to the
HLR
for
verification
and possible location of the
mobile station.
3. HLR searches the assigned
mobile station in MSC/VLR,
where currently it is located.
4. VLR gives the requested
mobile station current location
(base station) to the HLR.
5. HLR transfers that message to
the
with for
thepossible
currentconnection
base station
GMSC
where the mobile station is
located.
GMSC (Gateway Mobile Switching Center) is a
special kind of MSC that is used to route calls
outside the mobile network

authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Call set-up scenario from PSTN to
the MS (Contd..)
6. GMSC connects to the MSC.
7. MSC in-turn connects to the
base station.
8. Base station establishes the
connection with the mobile
station until the end of the call.
9. When the call is completed,
the mobile station releases the
channel by informing to the
base station.
10.Base station releases the
channel and updates in HLR
and VLR.

Satellite networks
• A satellite is an object that orbits or revolves around
another object.
• Satellite
communication
systems
differ
from terrestrial systems in that the transmitter is not
based on the ground but in the sky.
• A satellite system consisting of one or more satellites
and the cooperating earth stations is referred as a
satellite network.
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Satellite and Orbits
• An orbit is the path that
a satellite follows as
it revolves around Earth.
• Basically there are three
main
categories
of
orbits, They are Low
Earth Orbit (LEO),
Medium Earth Orbit
and
(MEO),
Earth
Geostationary
Orbit (GEO)
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Salient features
• A satellite network communicates using earth stations and
satellites
• Communication from earth station to satellite is called uplink
channel whereas communication from earth station to satellite
is called downlink channel.
• Some of the features of satellite networks are as follows

Architecture
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Architecture (Contd..)
• Satellite
– A satellite is a type of satellite network component that orbits the earth
in space as a wireless receiver/transmitter.
• Ground stations
– Many satellites are moving in their respective orbits over the earth, thus
it is idealistic that we can freely communicate with a satellite by a radio
frequency whenever we want to monitor its status or send a command.
• Users
– A satellite network user may be a satellite telephone (sat phone), or a
communication unit in the ship is a type of mobile phone that connects
to orbiting satellites instead of terrestrial cell sites.

authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
WLAN Vs. WWAN
• Coverage
– Wireless local area networks by definition operate over
a
small, local coverage area, normally about 100 m in range.
– Wireless wide area networks cover a much wider area, such
as wherever the cellular network provider has wireless
coverage.
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
WLAN Vs. WWAN (Contd..)
• Speed
– Wireless WAN speeds differ depending on the technology
used
• GPRS networks offer a maximum user data rate of over 115 kbps if
all eight timeslots in a cell are allocated for data transmission.
• Data speeds on CDMA networks were initially available at speeds
of 14.4 kbps, but have increased to a maximum throughput of 153
kbps as carriers have implemented CDMA2000 1X
(1xRTT) networks
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
WLAN Vs. WWAN (Contd..)
• Data Security
– In contrast to the security weaknesses in 802.11 networks,
cellular wireless WAN networks are extremely secure.
– These networks
incorporate military
technology
and sophisticated encryption and
authentication methods.
– Hotspots
are
wireless
LANs available
to
the
public in
a
location like an airport, coffee shop, or city neighborhood.
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
WLAN Vs. WWAN (Contd..)
• Cost
– Since wireless LANs operate in the unlicensed
frequency range, there is no service cost for using a private
wireless LAN.
– The main cost involved is the cost of purchasing and
installing the wireless LAN equipment and devices, and the
cost of maintaining the network and the users.
These slides are based on the slides formatted by Dr Sunilkumar S. manvi and Dr Mahabaleshwar S. Kakkasageri, the
authors of the textbook: Wireless and Mobile Networks, concepts and protocols. See slide number one.
Interworking of WLAN and
WWAN
• Although WLANs and WWANs may appear to
be competing technologies, they are far more
useful as complementary technologies.
• These are used together, a user would have the best of
both
technologies,
offering
high-speed
wireless access in a campus area, and access to all
their data and applications with high-speed cellular
access from anywhere with wireless WAN network
coverage.
