Wireless Local Loop

Wireless local loop (WLL) uses radio signals to connect local telephone networks to customer premises without wired connections. It replaces copper wiring with a wireless link, allowing phone service to be provided to homes and offices through wireless handsets and a WLL base station. The base station includes transceivers, a radio controller, an access manager and home location register to interface the wireless and wired networks. WLL provides benefits like lower installation and maintenance costs compared to wired networks.

What is wireless Local Loop?

 The transfer of information without wires, by using


the electromagnetic spectrum (radio signals).
 Local loop - a telecommunications network that
connects homes to the nearest local switch/
distribution point.
 Wireless Local Loop (WLL ) uses radio signals to
connect from local switching or distribution point in
the fixed network to houses.
 Wireless local telephone service in homes or offices
 Eliminates last mile construction of the network
connection
 More secure than wired networks
 WLL system consists of user handsets and a WLL
base station.
• The WLL system replaces
copper wire with radio
frequency loop
maintaining the existing
services of a basic
telephone system.
• The main function of
WLL is to establish a
primary access to the
local telephone station
using wireless link.
• WLL can uses FDMA,
CDMA, TDMA.
• India uses (code division
multiple access)
technology.
Frequencies:
• 3.4–3.6 GHz - Being standardized for WLL around
the world
• 10 GHz Newly opened for WLL in some countries

Two types of connectivity of WLL:


• Narrowband WLL -> voice transmission
• Broadband WLL -> 2-way voice and data
transmission.
WLL is the best system to handle high data traffic in
the local loop system.
Features:
• Better Quality of Services
• Compatible with other cellular technologies
• Scalability

Advantages:
1) Fast deployment
2) Low installation cost
3) Low maintenance cost
4) High system capacity

Wireless Access Network Unit(WANU) Wireless Access Subscriber Unit(WASU)


– Interface between underlying telephone – located at the subscriber
network and wireless link
– translates wireless link into a
– consists of traditional telephone connection
• Base Station Transceivers (BTS)
• Radio Controller(RPCU)
• Access Manager(AM)
• Home Location Register(HLR)
WANU consists of several components - :
1) a. several base stations transceivers
2) b. WLL controller
3) c. an Access manager (AM)
4) d. an HLR.
WANU acts as a interface between wireless and wired system.
It fetches and delivers data across wired and wireless domain.

It provides various functionalities like:


 Authentication and Air interface privacy
 Radio resource management
 Limited mobility management
 Routing
 Billing
 Routing and Switching
 Transcoding of voice and data.
Wireless access subscriber unit (WASU):
It provides an air interface UWLL towards the network and a traditional
interface TWLL towards the subscriber.

The interface includes:


 protocol conversion and transcoding
 authentication functions
 signaling functions
 Local power

• The TWLL interface can be an RJ-11 or RJ-45 port.


• The UWLL interface can be AMPS, GSM, DECT and so on.

Switching Function (SF):


The switching function (SF) is associated with a switch that can be digital
switch with or without Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) capability, an
ISDN switch or a Mobile Switching Centre (MSC).

The AWLL interface between the WANU and SF.
