The document provides information on 2G/3G network architectures. It discusses 2G GSM network architecture including components like the BTS, BSC, MSC, VLR, HLR and interfaces like A, Abis, and GSM. It then covers GPRS and EDGE network enhancements, components like the SGSN, GGSN, and interfaces like Gn and Gi. Finally, it discusses UMTS network technologies like W-CDMA and HSDPA that improved data rates.
27. The Simple Stuff- User is moving but not connected
Re-selection (Packet Example)
HLR 1. Mobile is “camped” on cell 1
2. Mobile device collects data on signal
q Internet
strength of nearby cells.
GGSN
PSTN 3. Mobile sees that cell 2 has a better signal
MSC
o and meets reselection criteria.
SGSN
n 4. Mobile tells network it is relocating.
Rnc 5. Network accepts (or rejects)
m 6. SGSN is updated for paging if needed (if the
paging area changes).
j 7. If SGSN needs to change with the cell this
there is a proceedure.
k jl
k 8. IF needed HLR is updated so the user can
be found for paging. (I.E. if SGSN is
changes).
9. If this causes a change of SGSNs then the
old SGSN tells the new SGSN and the HLR
