PREFACE

Since time immemorial, a man has tried hard to bring the world as close to

himself as possible. His thirst for information is hard to quench so he has

continuously tried to develop new technologies, which have helped to reach

the objective.

The world we see today is a result of the continuous research in the field of

communication, which started with the invention of telephone by Grahm

Bell to the current avtar as we see in the form INTERNET and mobile

phones. All these technologies have come to existence because man

continued its endeavor towards the objective.

This project report of mine, STUDY OF TRENDS TECHNOLOGIES IN

COMMUNICATION AND NETWORKING has been a small effort in

reviewing the trends technologies prevailing. For this purpose, no

organization other than BAHRAT SANCHAR NIGAM LIMITED could have been

a better choice.

BHARAT SANCHAR NIGAM LIMITED (BSNL)

An Introduction:-

Today, BSNL is the No. 1 telecommunication company and the largest public

sector undertaking of India and its responsibilities includes improvement of

the already impeccable quality of telecom services, expansion of telecom

services in all villages and instilling confidence among its customers.

Apart from vast network expansions, especial emphasis has given for

introducing latest technologies and new services like I-NET, INTERNET, ISDN

(INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK), IN (INTELLIGENT NETWORK),

GSM and WLL (WIRELESS IN LOCAL LOOP) services etc. Now BSNL has also

entered in mobile communication. BSNL has all the new services send

technological advantages, which are available with any well, developed

Telecom network anywhere else in the country.

Full credit for all above achievement goes to the officers and staff of the

BSNL. The administration is fully aware of the challenges lying ahead and

quite committed to provide the latest and best telecom services by their

continued support and active co-operation.

BSNL Services:-

When it comes connecting the four corners of the country , and much

beyond , one solitary name lies embedded at the pinnacle- BSNL. A

company that has gone past the number games and the quest to attain the

position of the leader. It is working round the clock to take India in to the

future by providing excellent telecom services for people of India.

Driven by the very best of telecom technology from global leaders, it

connects each inch of India to the infinite corners of the globe, to enable

you to step in to tomorrow.

The telecom services have been recognized the world over as an important

tool for socio-economic development for a nation and hence telecom

infrastructure is treated a crucial factor to realize the socio-economic

objectives in India. Accordingly the Department of Telecom has been

formulating developmental policies for the accelerated growth of the

telecommunication services in various cities. The department is also

responsible for frequency management in the field of radio connection in

close coordination with the international bodies.

MAKING A TELEPHONE CALL

A telephone call starts when the caller lifts the handsets of the base. Once

the dial tone is heard, the caller uses a rotary or a push button dial mounted

either on the handset or on the base to enter a sequence of digits, the

telephone number of called party. The switching equipment from the

exchange removes the dial tone from the line after the first digit is received

and after receiving the last digit, determines the called party is in the same

exchange or a different ones. If the called is in the same exchange, burst of

ringing current is applied to the called party’s line. Each telephone contains

a ringer that responds to specific electric frequency. When the called party

answers the telephone by pocking up the handset, steady start to flow in

the called party’s line and is detected by the exchange. The exchange than

stops applying ringing and sets up the connection between the caller and

the called party. If the called party is in different exchange from the caller,

the caller exchange set up the connection over the telephone network to

the called party’s exchange. The called party then handles the process of

ringing, detecting an answer, and notifying the calling and billing machinery

when the call is completed. When conversation is over, one or both parties

hang up by replacing their handset on the base, stopping the flow of

current. The exchange when initiates the process of taking down the

connection, including notifying billing equipment of the duration of the call if

appropriate.

ABOUT THE EXCHANGE

All telephone subscribers are served by automatic exchanges, which

perform the functions the human operator. The number being dialed is

stored and then passed to the exchange’s central computer, which in turns

operates the switching to complete the call or routes it a higher level switch

for further processing. Today’s automatic exchanges uses a pair of

computers, one running the program that provides services and the second

monitoring the operation of the first, ready to take over in a few seconds in

the event of equipment failure.

Various exchanges present in BSNL are:

E-10B

OCB283

EWSD

All exchange has some purposes and some basic structural units, which are:

1. subscribers connection unit

2. switching network (CX)

3. control unit

4. OMC

For smooth working of an exchange following unit are very important:-

1. Computer Unit: - it deals with additional services of the exchange to the

customers with the help of computers.

2. Power Plant:- to feed proper power supply to exchange

3. AC Plant: - to maintain the continuous temperature + or – 2 degree

Celsius to the digital switch (exchange).

4. MDF: - to connect switch (exchange) with the external environment

(subscriber) i.e. it is the interface between subscribers and exchange.

Computer unit

As the name specified it is the main part of the exchange that deals with the

all services provided by the exchange to the customers with the help of

computer. It also provides the updated data to all other part of the

exchange.

The customers are using the services of the exchange by using the internet

also gets connected to the main server present this room via an internet

room.

It mainly consists of the servers that are providing the different services.

The main servers of this room are:-

IVRS is used for the change number services provided by the exchange.

CERS are provided by the exchange to avoid the problems that the users

are facing the repairing of telephone. In this system when the user enters

it’s complained it gets directly entered to the server and user is allotted with

an id number.

LOCAL DIRECTORY ENQUIRY is another services provided by the exchange,

by using this; subscribers calls the particular number and gets the directory

enquiry. The server present in the main computer room provides this

service.

INTERNET DIRECTORY ENQUIRY is the latest service by the exchange. In this

type of service makes it enquiry using the internet, which gets connected to

the main server at the internet room in the exchange and further to the

main server in the computer room.

POWERPLANT

As we know that, the power is the main source or any organization. It is the

case of E-10B exchange. That is the first requirement of any organization is

the input.

The main source of this exchange is AC supply. However, as soon as the

power supply is gone off, then what is source? No one think on this that the

telephone is always plays its role in the human life. Even if the power supply

gone off. Thus there must be adjustment source of power.

The main parts of the power room are:

Batteries: - these are the instant sources of the power as soon as power is

gone off.

UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply):- the UPS must give supply to the

computer. As we know there is some equipment which can withstand any

type of power supply, but there are also some instruments which cannot

withstand with this type of power supply, even a microsecond delay will

cause the loss of data.

Charging- Discharging Unit: - the batteries we are using in the power room

need timely charging. As soon as the AC power supply is on, we make use of

the charging unit present in the power room. The slowly charging of the

batteries is known as the trickle charging. But sometimes we need the

BOOSTER charging. In this type of charging awe take of the batteries from

the load and charge separately, until it gets fully charged.

The main work of the discharging unit is to control the discharging of the

batteries.

Inverter and Converter Unit: - the main use of this system is to change AC

mains to DC and vice versa as required by the parts of exchange.

Engine Room:-we know that the batteries are the instant source of supply

but we cannot use it for much larger time, thus for this, we have an engine

to generate the power supply. They are of 885 KVA. Thus, this room controls

the supply of the engine.

CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER

For the function of electrical equipment, cooling system is basic

requirement. The basic advantages of cooling systems are following-

It provides the thermal stability so that the temperature does not reach the

tolerance limit of electronic equipment

It saves equipment from dust so to avoid malfunction of equipment’s.

It protects equipment from excess humidity which can caused rusting of

equipment.

The basic unit of measurement used in the industry is known as “ton of

refrigeration” (TR) which is equivalent to the heat extracted in 24 hours for

converting thousands kg of liquid to ice at zero degree.

The compressor is the heart of the AC system and the costliest. It increases

the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant gas coming from the

evaporator coils by compressing it.

Compressor comes in various types. The most widely used is simple

reciprocal type a cylinder and piston arrangement. For capacity more than

120 TR, centrifugal compressors are used. The condenser liquefies the

refrigerant gas by a heat exchange process. The capillary tube or the

expansion valve pressurizes liquid refrigerant and meters it flows to the

evaporator.

The refrigerant then passes trough the evaporator coils, which extract heat

out of the ambience.

MAIN DISTRIBUTION FRAME

The primary function of MDF is:

The fault of telephone number is removed in the MDF; it is called as Fault

Remove Section.

For removing the fault of telephone number, we use the testing

These testing are T.T.Y. testing, Group testing, etc.

For any type of testing firstly we need the vertical no. or the live tester,

printer and computer test N.E. number of that particular telephone number.

The telephone numbers are also disconnected in the MDF because of some

specific reason.

ORGANISATION OF THE MDF

PARTS OF THE MDF

Horizontal side

Vertical side

HORIZONTAL SIDE:

It is again subdivided in to two parts

Exchange side

Line side

Description of the horizontal side:-

RACK: - On the rack, the tags are situated. One rack is having eight tags.

The courting is done from up (0) to down (7).

TAG: - Each rack consists of eight tags.

1 tag = 4 core

1 core = 4 bunch

1 bunch = 2 line

N.E.:- The word NE stands for the ‘NUMBER OF EQUIPMENT’.

It is a 128 pair cable. The EWSD and MDF connected by NE.

WEDGE:-If we want to disconnect any two numbers then we insert a wedge

between subscriber side and exchange side. Here wedge works as insulator

made of plastic.

VERTICAL SIDE:

The vertical aside connected to the underground cable. This cable is having

100 pairs.

These pair is distributed when we allot the telephone number to the

subscriber.

Vertical side is again subdivided in two parts:

One part is connected with the horizontal side and another with the

subscriber line by using 100 pair underground cable.

This is how the present day telephone system works. Different exchanges

have different architectures of switching call routing and other features.

Now let us see how BSNL has kept up with the changing world and provided

the subscribers with the latest facilities technologies, which include the V-

SAT network, Internet, the WLL (wireless in local loop) and the GSM mobile.

V-SAT NETWORK

What is V-SAT?

It can be defined as a class of very small aperture Intelligent Satellite Earth

Station suitable for easy on-premise installation, usually operating in

conjugation with a large size HUB earth station. Capable of supporting a

wide range of two ways integrated Telecom Services.

It has the following components:

Micro Earth Station

Mini Earth Station

Personal Earth Station

Roof Top Terminal

Customer Premises Terminal

ADVANTAGES OF V-SAT

eliminate last mile problem.

Superior quality satellite based data services.

Quick implementation time.

Reliable communication.

Broadcast feature on satellite communication.

Communication to different areas.

Flexibility for network and changes.

Service in distance insensitive.

REASON FOR V-SAT EVOLUTION

The main reason for V-SAT evolution is due to advances in following areas:

Packet transmission and switching.

Efficient multiple access protocol.

Powerful microprocessor.

KU and RF electronics.

Antennae miniaturization

Spread spectrum techniques.

Protocol standardization and implementation.

LSI based FEC codec has and modems.

Higher power satellites.

CLASSIFICATION OF V-SATs

V-SAT can be classified as following:

1. Modulation type

3. Transmission rate.

4. Cost.

CATEGORIES OF V-SATs

1. Broadcast/ point to multipoint

In this mode of operation, V-SATs transmit/receive data without the help of

hub station. This type of network is called a mesh network.

3. Two way interactive

Types of services

a. Voice

b. Data

c. Image

In this configuration, V-SATs can communicate both on star as well as mesh

topology.

DESIGN FACTORS FOR V-SAT SYSTEMS

The capabilities of V-SAT system depend upon the following factors.

I. Satellite characteristics

II. Geographical and environmental factors.

III. Transmission link properties.

IV. Earth station characteristics.

V. Information encoding and modulation.

VI. Total system operation.

When evaluating V-SAT system each of the above attributes should be given

attention. However, few of more important attributes are

Operational aspects

Frequency bands

Satellite access methods

OPERATIONAL ASPECTS

Considering a V-SAT system from its operational aspects, there are five

broad functions that determines how the system works. These are:

Bandwidth allocation

Multiplexing

Network management

Protocol handling

Transmission

TYPE OF ACCESS FOR V-SAT DATA NETWORK

There are three types access available for V-SAT data networks. They are:

1. Fixed assignment time division multiple access (F-TDMA)

2. Random access

a. Pure aloha

b. Slotted aloha

c. Reservation

i. Implicit

ii. Explicit

3. code division multiple access (CDMA)

FIXED ASSIGNMENT TIME DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS (F-TDMA)

In a fixed assignment TDMA, each frame is divided in to slots of fixed time

durations among stations of network. The assignment of stations to slots is

permanent similar to TDMA system carrying digitalized voice except FTDMA

does not have synchronization. Packets are sent asynchronously, with no

frame sync signals.

FEATURES

No inter modulation problems.

Transport utilization is better.

Burst from different stations must arrive at satellite exactly in allocated

slots.

Throughput is 70% to 80%

Delay – medium is too high.

Complexity-medium.

RANDOM ACCESS

With TDMA schemes, signals are transmitted by earth stations in a burst

mode. If no scheduling is provided b/w the transmitting station, this type of

access is called time random multiple access. This simplest method for the

stations to transmit burst without regard for other station.

Random access id of two types:

Pure aloha

Slotted aloha

PURE ALOHA

Pure aloha, also called unslotted aloha is the simplest form of random

access schema.

In this form of access stations transmit packets\bursts randomly.

Packet from different stations may collide, thereby destroying information

content.

Station transmits the packet until they are received correctly.

The aloha channel throughout can be analyzed in terms of traffic offered

through the following relationship:

S=Ge-2g

Maximum throughput is 13% to 18%.

Delay- low

Complexity- very low

SLOTTED ALOHA

The maximum throughput of an unslotted aloha channel is limited to 18%

due to collision.

To reduce probability of each collision time slots are introduced so that the

transmission could only at the start of the slots.

The above network discipline reduces the rate of collision by half and hence

increases the maximum throughput efficiency of the channel.

In S-Aloha, each station has 2 queues.

a. New packet queue

b. Retransmit packet queue.

Only if the retransmit packet queue is empty, a new packet queue is sent.

The analysis of slotted aloha channel shows that

S = Ge2g

Maximum channel throughput is 36%.

Delay- low.

Complexity- low- medium.

Reservation

The low bandwidth utilization of pure aloha and the slotted aloha has led to

many proposals for increasing utilization by means of slot reservation

schemes.

The object of slot reservation schemes is to receive a particular time slot for

a given station. This ensures that no collision takes place.

This scheme has a higher throughput than either S- Aloha or F-TDMA

depending on traffic.

This increase in channel utilization efficiency is obtained at some overhead

either in terms of allocation of bandwidth for reservation purposes and\or

increased complexity of the control mechanism in transmitting stations.

All reservation methods use some form of framing approach and the

reservation scheme can be either implicit or explicit.

The implicit reservation method involves reservation by use. This is done

whenever a station successfully transmit in a slot; all the stations internally

assign that slot in sub-segment frames for exclusive use by the successful

station. This is called R-Aloha. In this there is no way to prevent a station

capturing most or all of the slots in a frame for an indefinite time.

The explicit reservation is a distinct and unique assignment of slots to a user

by the network scheduler.

CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS (CDMA)

With CDMA transmission from earth station are spread over the time

frequency plane by a code transformation. These techniques are referred to

as Spread Spectrum Systems. In addition to their multiple access

capabilities, they are useful in combating jamming, and are for this reason

principally used in military systems.

Features

All stations operate on the same transponder frequency using a large

bandwidth than needed for the data rate.

Network needs no time for frequency coordination.

Provide anti jam capabilities or protection against interference.

Provide for a graceful degradation of network performance as the number of

simultaneous users increases.

Low spectral density compared to conventional emissions.

It yields same capacity as FDMA.

Limitations of CDMA

Require large transponder ratio.

Due to imperfect code orthogonalities, expected simultaneous users may be

limited.

Requires a highly central earth station called HUB using star configuration.

VSAT technology using SSMA is presently available only for low bit rate

application.

VSAT NETWORK IN DOT

Department of telecommunication entered the VSAT era in 1991 by

commissioning its first satellite based low bit rate network known as

REMOTE AREA BUSINESS MESSAGE NETWORK (RABMN).

This has been engineered for users located in remote areas for stable and

reliable data communication.

Introduction

Satellite communication plays a vital role in long distance communication.

Satellite medium offers high bandwidth making it suitable for data

communication and computer networking.

Satellite communication is of distance and cost effective.

Multi access nature of satellites.

Provides two way communications.

Dynamic assignment of channels between geographically dispersed users.

Satellite network provides point to point and point to multipoint

communication needs.

Frequency division multiple access (FDMA):-

Bandwidth is split in to narrow frequency bands with multiple users each

allocated a frequency range within the larger bandwidth.

Time division multiple access (TDMA):-

Each terminal is allotted a short time slot in which to transmit on a

sequential basis. This time slot is usually a fraction of a second.

Code division multiple access (CDMA)

Each terminal is allotted a unique encryption code. The transmitted signals

are encoded and only the terminal intended to receive it, can decode it. This

is also known as Spread Spectrum Multiple Access.

Statistical time division multiplexing (STDM):-

In TDM, time slots are allotted to the multiplexed lines even if they have no

data transmit. In STDM, a time slot is allotted to the multiplexed line only if

there is data to be sent. The multiplexed circuit is used more efficiently.

VSAT (very small aperture terminal)

It is also called Micro Earth Station or Personal Earth Station.

Its main features are as follows:-

INTERNET

Introduction:

The Internet is not a program, not software, not hardware or a big system. It

is a group of various co-operating computers worldwide interconnected by

computer based on TCP\IP communication protocols. People use it to get

information over a standard communication link. The hundreds or thousands

or millions of computer network are connected to each other for exchanging

the information which is based on the unique identity and set of procedures.

Internet is a series of interconnected networks providing global link to

information.

GIAS: BSNL launched the Gateway Internet Access Service (GAIS) through

dial up/leased/ISDN network. Users can access GAIS from 99 cities in India

by this means.

INTERNET CONNECTIVITY

INTERNET TECHNOLOGY

The basic function of Internet can be summarized as under-

Interconnecting of computers to form a network.

Interconnecting of computers to form a network of networks.

To establish a communication link between two computers within as

network.

To provide alternate communication link among the networks, even if one

network is not working. These are based on TCP/IP communications

protocol.

Transfer of a file through Internet:-

Suppose a file is to be transmitted on Internet from one computer to other

ones

Break the file in to small packets

Attached destination and source address in o packets

Multiplexed and transmit these packets

At destination de-multiplex the packets

Remove address bits from the packets and assemble the data in to the

original file

Make source bits as destination address and send the acknowledgement in

to the source

Therefore, it is clear that network hardware sends the packets to specified

destination and network software reassembles of communications, the

computer network performs the following functions-

Addressing and routing

Fragmentation and error correction

Data error checking

Connectivity control

Multiplexing and de-multiplexing

Data flow control

End users interface etc.

The data handling

A single module cannot handle the entire process. One that adopted as a

standard is an open system interconnection (OSI) model.

OSI NETWORKING MODEL: The open systems interconnection model

defines all the methods and protocols needed to connect one computer to

any other over a network.

The OSI model separates the methods and protocols needed for a network

connection in to seven different layers. Each higher layer relies on services

provided by a lower level layer.

The OSI model is sometimes called “the seven layer model”. It was

developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in 1983 and is

documented as standard 7498.

Layers are:

Application layer

Presentation layer

Session layer

Transport layer

Network layer

Data link layer

Physical layer

PHYSICAL LAYER:

The physical layer defines the properties of the physical medium used to

make a network connection. It includes a network cable that can transmit a

stream of bits between nodes on the physical network. The physical

connection can be either point to point or multipoint, and it can consist of

either half duplex (one direction at a time) or full duplex (both directions

simultaneously) transmissions. Moreover, the bits can be transmitted either

in series or in parallel (most network use a serial stream of bits, but the

standard allows for both serial and parallel transmission). The specification

for the physical layer also defines the cable used, the voltages carried on

the cable, the timing of the electrical signals, the distance that can be run,

and so on. For example, a NIC network interface network) is part of the

physical layer.

DATA LINK LAYER: the data link layer, layer 2, defines standard that

assign meaning to the bits carried by the physical layer. It establishes a

reliable protocol through the physical layer, so the network layer (layer 3)

can transmit its data. The data link layer typically includes error detection

and correction to ensure a reliable data stream. The data elements carried

by the data link layer are called frames.

Examples of frame types include x.25 and 802.x (802.x includes both

Ethernet and Token Ring networks).

The data link layer is usually subdivided in to two sub layers, called the

Logical link control (LLC) and Media Access Control (MAC) sub layers. The

LLC sub layer performs tasks such as call set up and termination and data

transfer. The MAC sub layer handles frame assembly and disassembly, error

detection and correction, and addressing. The two most common MAC

protocols are 802.3 Ethernet and 802.5 Token ring .Other MAC protocols

include 802.12 100 Base VBG, 802.11 Wireless, and 802.7 Broadband.

Network Layer: The network layer, Layer-3, is where a lot of action goes

on for most networks. The network layer defines how data packets get from

one point to another on network. The Network layer is also known as packet

layer, it defines different packet protocols, such as Internet Protocol (IP) and

Internet Protocol Exchange (IPX). These packet protocols include source and

destination routing information. The routing information in each packet tells

the network where to send the packets to reach its destination and tells the

receiving computer from where the packet originated.

Transport Layer: The Transport Layer, layer-4, manages the flow of

information from one network node to another. It identifies each computer

or node on a network uniquely. It ensures that the packets are decoded in

the proper sequence and that all packets are received. Transport layer

protocols include Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Sequenced Packet

Exchange (SPX).Each is used in concert with IP and IPX respectively.

Session layer: The session layer, layer-5, defines the connection from a

user to a network server, or from a peer on a network to another peer.

These virtual connections are referred to as sessions. They include

negotiation between the client and the host, or peer and peer, on matters of

flow and control, transaction- processing, transfer of user information, and

authentication to the network.

Presentation Layer: The presentation layer, layer-6, takes the data

supplied by the lower level layer and transform so it can be presented to the

system. The Presentation layer can include data compression and

decompression as well as data encryption and decryption.

Application Layer: The Application layer, layer 7, controls how the

operating system and its application interact with network.

As mentioned earlier, data flows from an application program or the

operating system, and then goes through the protocols and devices that

make up the seven layers of the OSI model one by one until the data arrives

at the physical layer and is transmitted over the network connection. The

computer at the receiving end reverses this process. At each stage of the

OSI model, the data is “wrapped” with new control information related to

the work done at the particular layer. This control information is different for

each layer, but it includes headers, trailers pre-ambles, and post-ambles.

Therefore, for example, when the data goes into the networking software

and components making up the OSI model, it starts at the application layer

and includes an application header and application data. Next, at the

presentation layer, a presentation header is wrapped around the data and it

is passed to the session layer, where a session header is wrapped around all

the data, and so on, until it reaches the physical layer. At the receiving

computer this process is reversed.

WIRELESS IN LOCAL LOOP (WLL) MOBILE

WLL is a communication system that connects customers to the Public

Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) using radio frequency signals as

substitutes of conventional wires for all part of connection between the

subscribers and the telephone exchange. It works on CDMA technique. The

local loop is access part of telecommunication network i.e. the part between

PSTN switch and subscribers. WLL network application involves uses of radio

to replace of the wire link between PSTN switch and subscriber. The radio

technology is able to provide same quality of services as that provided by

the wires line. Application of wireless loop technology has just been started

in the worldwide. There is no standard for this so far. However, a number of

national and international air interface standards for digital cellular mobile

telephone system are available.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS:

WLL is based on CDMA technique and is entirely different from GSM. The

system for WLL services can be divided in to following parts:-

BSC (Base Switching Centre):- It provides links between BTS & BSM; it

consists of different processors, in BSNL it is of SUN Polaris of LG Company.

In LG 1 BSC can have 48 BTS? In BSNL we have two types of BSC:-

V-5.2:- This type of BSC cannot switch by itself so it is dependent on local

exchange / PSTN for switching and keeping records of billing etc. BSNL uses

this type of BSC for rural areas.

CCS-7 / R2:- These types of BSC are totally automatic it doesn’t depend on

local exchange for its functions, it is complete in itself. BSNL uses this type

of BSC for urban areas.

BTS (Base Transreceiver System):- As it is clear from its name it

transmits as well as receive signal, it works as an amplifier (router) to

overcome the loss in signal in transmission.

BSM (Base Station Management):- It controls and manages the WLL

services. It can troubleshoot the problem; add new users as well as capable

to block service given to user. It is basically a computer system, which

manages the whole process of WLL service. In BSNL BSM are two UNIX

based computer system.

CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS (CDMA):

CONCEPT OF MULTIPLE ACCESSES: - Multiple access system allows a

large number of users to share a common pool of radio telephone circuits,

like sharing of trunked radio facility. Multiple access radio has similarity to

the LAN in which the common channel is available to all users. The circuits

are demands assigned i.e. assigned on demand first-cum-first-served basis.

The provision of access to the radio circuits methods of multiple accesses

are:

CDMA: - Where large number of transmission are combined on the same

channel at the same time and separated by the codes.

FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access):- Where individual

transmission separated by each other by the time.

WHAT IS CDMA?

CDMA, a cellular technology originally known as IS-95, competes with GSM

technology for dominance in the cellular world.

There are now different variations, but the original CDMA is known as

CdmaOne.

Latest CDMA global subscriber & operators numbers

As of December 2002, there were 120 millions users worldwide, with 55

million of these in the USA.

See other cellular technology in the world.

We now have CDMA2000 and its variant like 1X EV, 1XEV-DO and MC 3X.

The refer of variant of usage of a 1.25 MHz channel. 3X uses a 5 MHz

channel. Wide band CDMA forms that the basis of UMTS 3G networks,

developed originally by Qualcomm, high capacity and small cell radius,

employing spread-spectrum technology and special coding scheme

characterized by CDMA.

The Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA) in 1993 adopted CDMA.

May 2001 there were 35 million subscribers on cdmaOne system worldwide.

Over 35 countries have either commercial or trial activity ongoing. There

were already 43 WLL systems in 22 countries using cdmaOne technology.

Enhancing today’s data capabilities is the 1XRTT CDMA standard this next

evolutionary step for cdmaOne operators will provide data rates up to 300

kbps, significant capacity increases as well as extended batteries life for

handsets.

Worldwide resources are being devoted to roll out third generation CDMA

technology, including multi-carrier (cdmaOne2000 1xMC and HDR in 1.25

MHz bandwidth and 3xMC in 5 MHz bandwidth) and direct spread (WCDMA

in 5 MHz bandwidth).

This first phase of cdmaOne2000 variously called 1XRTT, 3G1X or just plain

1X is designed to double current voce capacity and support always on data

transmission speed 10 times faster than typically available today, some

153.6 kbps on both the forward and reverse links.

ADVANTAGES OF WLL:

Country wide induction of WLL underway of areas than are non-feasible for

the normal network

Helping relieves congestion of connections in the normal cable / wire based

network in urban areas

Limited the mobility without any airtime charges

It has improved signal and reducing the interference

Greater capacity than mobile

Provides ease of operation, administration & maintenance at lower cost.

The telecommunication is the biggest factor in influencing the speed of life

in the modern age. Today we can get connection with any corner of world

through the push button of computer; with the small mobile phone we can

send not only the messages but also the secret document. As we know that

there is positive view behind any mention that it should be helpful in the

development of society. But humans have diverted mentality some of them

of positive view and some of them of negative view. Where use any

invention for the welfare of society but some uses for the satisfaction their

disturbed mentality and to earn more and more money whether it may be

harmful for the society. They infringe the norms of society and their

behavior is condemned as antisocial, immoral and sinful.

CELLULAR MOBILE SERVICES:

Cellular is one of the fastest growing and most demanding

telecommunication applications. Today, it represents a continuously

increasing percentage of all new telephone subscriptions around the world.

Currently there are more than 45 million subscribers in worldwide and

nearly 50% of those subscribers are located in USA. It is forecasted that

cellular system using a digital technology will become the universal method

of telecommunications. By the year 2005, forecasters predict that there will

be more than 100 million cellular subscribers worldwide.

GLOBAL SYSTEM FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION (GSM)

The GSM Association is a unique organization, with a truly global reach,

offering a full range of business and technical services to its members. Now

as the wireless family unfolds the association is deriving forward its vision of

seamless, limitless, world of wireless communication.

Throughout the evolution of cellular telecommunications, various systems

have been developed without the benefit of standardized specifications.

This presented many problems directly related to compatibility, especially

with the development of digital radio technology. The GSM standard is

intended to address these problems.

Global system for mobile communication (GSM) is a globally accepted

standard for digital cellular communication. GSM is the name of a

standardization group established in 1982 to create a common European

mobile telephone standard that would formulae the specifications for a pan-

European mobile cellular radio system operating at 900 MHz. It is estimated

that many country outside of Europe will join the GSM partnership.
