The document discusses the Base Station Subsystem (BSS) and Network and Switching Subsystem (NSS) in mobile communications. The BSS connects the mobile station to the NSS and consists of the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and Base Station Controller (BSC). The NSS includes the Mobile services Switching Center (MSC), Home Location Register (HLR), and Visitor Location Register (VLR). Together, the BSS and NSS provide critical functions such as mobility management, call control, and short message services that enable mobile communication.

18. The SIM card is protected by a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). In order to identify the subscriber to the system, the SIM card contains some parameters of the user such as its International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI).Mobile Station (MS)
27. However, the increasing number of base stations, due to the development of cellular radio networks, has provoked that some of the maintenance tasks are transferred to the BTS. This transfer decreases considerably the costs of the maintenance of the system.The Operation and Support Subsystem (OSS)

29. The self test tasks, usually incorporated in the components of the BSS and NSS, also contribute to the OAM functions.
30. The BSC, in charge of controlling several BTS, is another example of an OAM function performed outside the OSS.Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM)

33. The user movements can produce the need to change the channel or cell, especially when the quality of the communication is decreasing. This procedure of changing the resources is called handover. Three different types of handovers can be distinguished: * Handover of channels in the same cell. * Handover of cells controlled by the same BSC. * Handover of cells controlled by different MSCs. What is handover and its importance ?

42. The aim of this Powerpoint presentation was to deliver the importance and the role of BSS and NSS in GSM network. For the time being there is no other such efficient setup that can take place of BSS and NSS Conclusion
