CE 1.1 Introduction:-
Duration : Jan 2008 – June 2008
Geographic Location : Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited, Connaught Place, New Delhi, India
Position Held : Engineering Student (College project)
In final year of my bachelor’s degree I got the opportunity to work with MTNL (Indian Government’s owned telecom company) on BSC (Base Station Controller) migration as part of training and project. The migration involved both the circuit switched as well as packet switched part.
MTNL was set up by the Government of India to upgrade the quality of telecom services, expand the telecom network, and introduce new services and to raise revenue for telecom development needs of Indias key metros with services ranging from 2G, 3G, LTE to high speed broadband services.
CE 1.2 Background and Nature of the Work:
CE 1.2.1 Introduction:
As a telecommunication engineering student I studied and came to know that there are two basic technologies in mobile phones on which our wireless network is based on. These are: CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access ) and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications).
GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is an open, digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice and data services.
My project of migrating call traffic of BSC was based on GSM technology. After getting familiar with the
A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone, and a hand phone) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single, private base station.
After graduation, keeping in mind my research aspirations I decided to join Alcatel-Lucent India’s R&D headquarters in Bangalore. As a software engineer part of the Internet Protocol division, I work on security and memory management in switches and routers. After
A cell phone is an electronic device used for the mobile telecommunication i.e. mobile telephony, data transmission and text messaging. It is used over a cellular network of specialized base stations. It differs from cordless telephones, which offers telephony service only within a limited range i.e. within a home or an office. As the time passes it offers more and more advance features. A society is a social, economical or industrial infrastructure,
Mobile telephones, sometimes called cellular telephone, is a type of short-wave analog or digital telecommunication in which a subscriber has a wireless connection from a mobile phone to a relatively nearby transmitter. The transmitter's span of coverage is called a cell. As the cellular telephone user moves from one cell or area of coverage to another, the telephone is effectively passed on to the local cell transmitter. A mobile phone is a wireless handheld device that allows users to make calls and send text messages, among other features. The earliest generation of mobile phones could only make and receive calls. Today’s mobile phones, however, are packed with many additional features, such as web browsers, games, cameras, video players and even navigational systems. A smartphone is a device that lets you make telephone calls, but also adds in features that, in the past, you would have found only on a personal digital assistant or a computer--such as the ability to send and receive e-mail and edit Office documents, for example. In general, a smartphone will be based on an operating system that allows it to run applications. Apple's iPhone runs the iOS, and BlackBerry smartphones run the BlackBerry OS. Other devices run Google's Android OS, HP's webOS, and Microsoft's Windows Phone. While almost all cell phones include some sort of software (even the most basic models these days include an address book or some sort of contact manager, for example), a smartphone will have
The technology today is much less simple than the technology previously created. At first, the telecommunication was first brought to existence in 1947, but more important is the first mobile telephone introduced in Sweden in the 1960’s. Sweden focused on the reliance of a car through technology. So in other words, the system had been animated with the connection from a handset, which remained to be operated to forward incoming calls. As the first generation of cell phones approached, cell towers had been built all around. That is how calls had been made. Those cell phones that were in use had to be connected to a cell tower in order to be used. They called this the “Analog Cellular Networks” (Brookes). Cell phones were just strictly used for calling. Pagers had been created that just let off an audible beep to the

A mobile phone is a device that allows for two people to be connected over the world by a radio link. This is done by connecting to a cellular network, which is provided by telecommunication companies such as Telstra, Optus and Vodaphone being the three main in Australia. Once the cellular network is established it then connects to a cell, which is a tower, then the other phone. If the phone is out of reach from one the original tower the cell may transfer the call to another cell, this process is now so efficient and fast that both caller and receiver would never notice that this has taken place. This uses electromagnetic waves between substation-to-substation this is a combined technology of radio and the telephone. Modern day mobile phones have a wide variety of uses compared to the original mobile phones such as calling, text messages, multi-media messages, email, internet access, games, applications, calculators, music, videos, high resolution cameras and many other options that a only on some devices these are things like Microsoft capabilities and also GPS systems.
A mobile phone works on a unique networked system which needs no wiring, no fixation and no botheration. Originally it was used in cars, airlines, and passenger trains but increasingly it is becoming ubiquitous. It is basically low- power radio telephone. In this magical system calls go through radio transmitters that are located within small geographical unit which are known as cells. Since each cell's signals are too weak to interfere with those of other cells operating on the same frequencies and more channels can be used than would be possible with high power radio frequency transmission. Narrow-band frequency modulation (FM) is the most common mode of transmission, each message is assigned a carrier, unique to the cell from which it is transmitted.
A mobile phone (also called mobile, cellular telephone, or cell phone) is an electronic device used for two-way radio telecommunication over a cellular network of base stations known as cell sites. Mobile phones differ from cordless telephones, which only offer telephone service within limited range through a single base station attached to a fixed land line, for example within a home or an office.
CEL – TEL introducing to market its cellular phone and its accessories. Cellular Phones which will be available in the market would be a GSM one. This system started in Europe countries and United states is one of the country which is adapted this system. Hence GSM- Global system for mobile communications - it is a globally adapted the main or greatest advantage of the system is one can use this type of mobile anywhere in the world.
The technology sector has been spreading its global footprint very rapidly after the year 2000. The major sector in the technology arena which has been contributed potentially to the growth and transfer of technology is the telecom sector. Taking the telecom sector as a key player in the growth of technology and broadband, the impact has been immense not only

A mobile phone or mobile (also called cellphone and handphone) is an electronic device used for mobile telecommunications (mobile telephone, text messaging or data transmission) over a cellular network of specialized base stations known as cell sites. Most current cell phones connect to a cellular network consisting of switching points and base stations (cell sites) owned by a mobile network operator. In addition to the standard voice function, current mobile phones may support many additional services, and
