What Is MSRN? in Which Type of Call It

The document contains 20 questions related to mobile network architecture and components: 1. MSRN is a temporary number assigned to route mobile terminated calls to the target MSC. 2. MSC/MSC-S performs call setup for on-net and off-net calls by querying HLR and other nodes for routing. 3. Triplets refer to the combination of MCC, MNC and LAC which uniquely identify a location area in a mobile network. The questions cover functionalities of various nodes like HLR, MSC, BSC, MGW; configuration and interfaces of signaling terminals, boards and processors; capacity and interfaces of transmission links.

Questions

1. What is MSRN? In which type of call it is been used?


The Mobile Station Roaming Number is an E.164 defined telephone number
used to route telephone calls in a mobile network from a GMSC (Gateway Mobile
Switching Centre) to the target MSC .
The Mobile Station Roaming Number is an E.164 defined telephone number used to
route telephone calls in a mobile network from a GMSC (Gateway Mobile Switching
Centre) to the target MSC (see Network Switching Subsystem). It can also be defined
as a directory number temporarily assigned to a mobile for a mobile terminated call.
A MSRN is assigned for every mobile terminated call, not only the calls where the
terminating MS lives on a different MSC than the originating MS.

2. What are the functionalities in the MSC/MSC-S node? Explain the clearly the call
setup procedure for a call between:
a) Tigo to Tigo.
b) Tigo to any other local operator.

3. What are triplets?

4. What are the functionalities available in HLR? Giving the command HGSDP(see
ALEX) briefly explain the function of each:
a) PERMANENT SUBSCRIBER DATA
b) SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICE DATA
c) LOCATION DATA
d) PACKET DATA PROTOCOL CONTEXT DATA

5. Which board enables the C7ST2C (Signaling Terminals)? Issuing the command
C7STP(see ALEX) briefly state the meaning and functions of ST, ITYPE, RP,
EM, LS, SPID, SLC, NP

6. What are the boards that can be used both in MSC and BSCs?

7. What is the capacity of STM-1 in terms of E1s? What does the term 2Mb/s
means? Prepare one full DT to add 20 E1s from DAMSC02 route towards
International link via Zantel (Use CIC and E1 numbers as a continuation from the
existing ones.)

8. What is the maximum possible number of signaling links in C7?

9. What is the functionality of OMS? Referring our current Tigo setup, where do we
have OMS nodes and for what purpose are they being used?
10. In MSC/MSC-S Differentiate between the functionalities of CP and APG?

11. What interface is used to connect APG to CP?

12. What are the different types of CPUs used in our network? What are different
types of APGs used in our network?

13. Which board does the Transcoder function at BSC? Prepare one DT to add a new
site ‘Tangani’ with the following details:
• Cell name is TNG052 (3 sectors, GSM900)
• CGI=640-02-27-1202,
• BSIC=51,
• BCCHNO=11,
• AGBLK=1,
• MFRMS=8,
• BCCHTYPE=NCOMB,
• FNOFFSET=0
• MEASUREMENT FREQUENCIES 8&&19
• No neighboring sites and uses all other data from existing TNG002A.

14. Explain with diagram how the SMS terminating works?

15. Describe the design of MGW (suggested to pay a visit with a book on hand and
see the node physically to fully get the picture). What are the different
functionalities supported by MGW?

16. In MGWs which Board has 4 STM-1s?

17. Which boards in MGWs can support TDM?

18. Which boards in MGWs can support STM?

19. Which Boards in MGWs Can Support IP?

20. Which boards in MGWs provides DTMF/ECHO/Multiparty?
