Call From PSTN To MS

The document describes the call setup process for calls from a public switched telephone network (PSTN) to a mobile station (MS), calls from a MS to a PSTN landline, and calls from a PSTN to a MS. For calls to a MS, the home location register (HLR) is queried to determine the serving mobile switching center/visitor location register (MSC/VLR) which pages the MS to establish the call. For calls from a MS, signaling occurs over a dedicated control channel to set up the call. For calls to a MS from PSTN, the gateway MSC obtains the mobile station routing number from the HLR to route the call to the serving MSC

Call from PSTN to MS:

The main difference between a call to an MS and a call from an MS is that, the exact location of MS is unknown in the call to MS case. Hence, the MS must be located using paging before a connection can be established. 1. The PSTN subscriber dials the MSs telephone number(MSISDN), the MSISDN is analyzed in the PSTN, which identifies that this is a call to a mobile network subscriber. A connection is established to the MSs home GMSC. 2. The GMSC analyzes the MSISDN to find out which HLR, the MS is registered in, and queries the HLR for information about how to route the call to the serving MSC/VLR. 3. The HLR translates MSISDN into IMSI, and determines which MSC/VLR is currently serving the MA. The HLR also checks if the service, call forwarding to C-number is activated, if so, the call is rerouted by the GMSC to that number. 4. The HLR requests an MSRN from the serving MSC/VLR. 5. The MSC/VLR returns an MSRN via HLR to the GMSC. 6. The GMSC analyses the MSRN and routes the call to the MSC/VLR. 7. The MSC/VLR knows which LA the Ms is located in. A paging message is sent to the BSCs controlling the LA. 8. When the MS detects the paging message to the BTSs in the desired LA. The BTSs transmit the message over the air interface using PCH. To page the

MS, the network uses an IMSI or TMSI valid only in the current MSC/VLR service area. 9. When the MS detects the paging message, it sends a request on RACH for a SDCCH. 10. The BSC provides a SDCCH, using AGCH. 11. SDCCH is used for the call set-up procedures. Over SDCCH all signaling preceding a call takes place. This includes: Marking the MS as active in the VLR The authentication procedure Start ciphering Equipment identification 12. The MSC/VLR instructs the BSC/TRC to allocate an idle TCH. The BTS and MS are told to tune to the TCH. The mobile phone rings. If the subscriber answers, the connection is established.

Call from Mobile Station to land line:


1. MS after dialing a number and press send key uses RACH to ask for a signaling channel. 2. The BSC allocates a signaling channel, using AGCH. 3. The MS sends a call setup request through SDCCH, to the MSC/VLR. Over SDCCH, all signaling takes place. This includes: Marking the MS status as active in the VLR (if the MS status is not updated earlier).

The Authentication Procedure Ciphering Equipment Identification Sending the called Subscriber number to the network Checking if the subscriber has service barring of outgoing calls activated. 4. The MSC/VLR instructs the BSC to allocate an idle TCH. The BTS and MS are told to tune to the TCH. 5. The MSC/VLR forwards the called number to an exchange in the PSTN, which establishes a connection to the subscriber. 6. If the called subscriber answers, the connection is established.

PSTN to Mobile:
1. PSTN will initiate the call and GMSC will looking for the MSRN of called party PSTN----- [MSISDN] --->GMSC 2. GMSC will forward the called party's MSISDN to get the routing information from concern HLR. GMSC----- [MSISDN] ----->HLR 3. HLR will forward the IMSI to concern MSC to get the MSRN HLR------ [IMSI] -----MSC 4. MSC will send the MSRN back to HLR as acknowledge MSC------- [MSRN] ----->HLR 5. HLR will send the MSRN to GMSC HLR------ [MSRN] ----GMSC 6. GSMC will communicate with MSC to set the call immediately GMSC---- [MSRN] ----MSC

7. MSC will route the call through BSC, BTS to MS. MSC---------------->BSC BSC---------------->BTS BTS---------------->MS
