Wired media
• metallic lines– Symmetrical pairs:
telephone pairs in local cables, internal wiring of buildings (CAT 5E)
– Coaxial cable: CATV networks, computer bus type network
– Power lines: currently in use for the media signals (PLC, Power Line Communication)
Wired media
• metallic lines– copper wires
– twisted pairs• unshielded
• shielded
– coaxial cables
Wired media
• optical lines– Optical fibres
– Singlemode– Multimode– Gradientmode
Wired access networksTypical representative of the entire spectrum of available
solutions:• CATV to connect customers to Internet via cable TV network
• PLC (PDSL/BPL) technology for transfer of the data via power cables
• xDSL technologies (such as HDSL, ADSL, VDSL etc.) using the access network of telecommunication networks mostly CAT 1.
• FTTx (Fiber To The X (Home / Building / Network))
• Ethernet networks using UTP cables
CATV• In the band of cable television networks (42 – 750 MHz) is usually
enough unfilled channels of 6 MHz wide. • In the upload direction are used „narrow“ channels
within 5 – 40 MHz• Connections is asymmetric, like e.g. the ADSL.• Through 6 MHz channel in „download“ direction can be achieved
data rate up to 27 Mbit/s or 36 Mbit/s. Depending on the type of modulation.
• The opposite direction is usually about hundreds of kilobits up to units of megabits.
• Every channel is shared by multiple participants – according to quality of service provided to users – it can be shared up to hundreds of users.
• Existing cable TV lines are fundamentally unidirectional, with one transmitter and many receivers in a tree architecture, ie. multiplexed media type „broadcast“.
• IP requires a two-way transmission (duplex).• It is necessary to rebuild wiring - active elements are
unidirectional.• Passive components (splitters, hubs) and coaxial cabling
are in principle duplex.• Nodal device to connect to the Internet are located at the
base of each analog segment whose IP connectivity are dealt separately from the television signal distribution.

PLC – Power Line Communication
Referred also as BPL (Broadband over Power Line)
• Designed for transmission of information over powerlines of LV and HV.
• Range in compliance with reference properties with „ideal“ cable is– up to 400m on LV distribution– up to 700m on HV distribution
• Data rate up to 200Mbit/s.• Possibility of repeating
(reinforcement)
PLC – Power Line Communication
Especially from a system perspective PLC is a truly high-tech access technology.
•QoS (802.1p) with multilevel priority of queues and programmatically adjusting mechanism of classification priorities for simultaneous multimedia applications in real time.•The possibility distribution of video and audio signals.
•Programmatically adjustable bandwidth.
Principle of PLC
It uses a metallic twisted pair where the usable frequency range is up to about 1.1 MHz.
Because the transfer characteristics of the transmission medium it does not guarantee comparable parameters in the whole frequency spectrum, the principle of the ADSL is based on band division to sub-bands, each of which is individually used based on the identification of its properties by the initialization of the modem.
ADSL – Asymetric Digital Subscriber Line
Allocation of spectrum for ADSL 1st gen.
The lowest 64 Khz band•is designed exclusively for the transmission of analog telephone service with separation zone 60 kilobytes / s, ie. a total of 64 kilobytes / s, or for 2B + D ISDN service.
Band from 64Khz to 1.1MHz•is divided into 256 sub-band. Each sub-band with a width of 4 kHz is an independent channel and is used with a define transmission capacity measured by at initialization of the modem parameters.

Cellular network
allows you to reuse the same
frequencies after a certain distance
Between cells using the same
channels (frequencies) must be
distance c.
quintuple of the equivalent cell radius channel association to a periodical repeating clusters
Theoretically we need just 7 frequencies respectively 7 groups of radio channels for coverage of infinite area.
Type of cells
Principle of the cellular network is a division of the territory into small areas called cells. Area covered by a single antenna system is called cell.
Type of cell depends on population density in covered area:
• Pico cell (to 50 m) – for places with strong traffic, business centers, urban area, underground (DCS)• Micro cell (to 1 km) – for places with normal traffic, urban area (DCS, GSM)• Macro cell (max. 35 km) – for places with little traffic, rural area (GSM)
Type of cells
• Omnidirectional
BS has antenna system, which transmits around itself (typically macro cells)
• Segmentation
One antenna system transmits to the several (typically 3) cells (typically micro cells)
GSM network architecture
GSM network can be divided into 4 basic subsystems:
•Mobile Station (MS)•Base Station Subsystem (BSS)•Network and Switching Subsystem (NSS) •Operating and Maintenance Subsystem (OMS)
Mobile station
Mobil station (MS) consists of 2 parties:
• Terminal (mobile phone) provides „permanent“ radio connection with BSS communicates with subscribers and service realization encodes and decodes sent and received information
• SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) brings subscriber´s independency from concrete
terminal provides authentication and partially participates in
encryption
MS
After switching on• MS must find network status in place where it is located
• Frequency scanning – MS do several measurement of BTS signal power
• Check old frequencies saved in memory from history
• Making table with 6 strongest (best) cells (frequencies)
• MS „move“ into the best cell
• After information exchange with cell is MS logged to the GSM network
MS
In stand-by mode• Every 5 seconds measures and compares BTS signal
power of nerby cells
• Periodically inform the network about its location
Base Station Subsystem
BTS (Base Transceiver Station)
ensure the radio connection with MSsignal modulation and demodulationencoding and error correctionsignal measurement etc.
Base Station Subsystem
BSC (Base Station Controller)
controls several BTS provides functions connected
with handover and subscriber mobility distributes subscriber on each physical
radio channels provides BTS performance
management etc.
Network and Switching Subsystem
NSS system is similar to the ISDN network.•MSC (Mobile Switching Centre) - PBX (exchange) as we know from the fixed networks•MSC (Gateway MSC) ensures connection with external telco and data networks
Network and Switching Subsystem
VLR (Visitor Location Register) database of mobile "visitors" who are now in the area of the MSC
AuC (Authentication Center) by using keys from HLR verifies subscriber (key in the SIM card)
EIR (Equipement Identity Center) is a database of all phone which operate in mobile network, it offers phone blocking after theft
HLR (Home Location Register) - central database of all subscriber using network
•Contains IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity)•MSISDN (Mobile Station ISDN Number) •VLR address, •Other information about subscriber (pre-paid services, etc.)
GSM architecture
Operating and Maintenance Subsystem
Is a central computer system that communicates with most elements of the GSM network and allows to operator central management of the network and its functions.
•OMC (Operating and Maintanance Center) Network management and maintenance (regional
character) Realizes NMC decisions
•NMC (Network Management Center) longer-term management and network planning (does
statistics and measurement)
Collets network alarms Does load monitoring and planning capacity expansion
