Call setup

Simple Call Path of Wireless Network

A MSRN (Mobile Station Roaming Number) is used during the call setup phase for mobile terminating calls. Each mobile terminating call enters the GMSC in the PLMN. The call is then re-routed by the GMSC, to the MSC where the called mobile subscriber is located. For this purpose, a unique number (MSRN) is allocated by the MSC and provided to the GMSC. The MSRN is seized for the call setup phase only and released immediately afterwards. IMSI: The IMSI is a unique identity allocated to each subscriber to allow correct identification over the radio path and through the network and is used for all signaling in the PLMN. All networkrelated subscriber information is connected to the IMSI. The IMSI is stored in the SIM, as well as in the HLR and in the serving VLR. 3 pcs Aqua Blue/Black/Red Capacitive Stylus/styli Touch Screen Cellphone Tablet Pen for iPhone 4 4s 3 3Gs iPod Touch iPad 2 Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy, BlackBerry Playbook AMM0101US, Barnes and Noble Nook Color, Droid Bionic Amazon Price: $5.73 List Price: $30.99 4 Pack of Purple Pink Stylus Universal Touch Screen Pen for Ipad 2 Ipod Iphone 4,4S,Kindle Fire,3g 3gs, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 10.1, Blackberry Playbook HTC Flyer Tablet Bonus The Friendly Swede Microfiber Cleaning Cloth Amazon Price: $7.99 Universal Capacitive Stylus Pen for Amazon Kindle Fire & Touch 3G, Apple iPad 2, iPhone 4s, Droid Bionic, Accessory for All TouchScreen Devices Amazon Price: $6.45 List Price: $19.95 3 Pack of Purple Red Pink Stylus Universal Touch Screen Pen for Ipad 2 Ipod Iphone 4,4S,Kindle Fire,3g 3gs, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 10.1, Blackberry Playbook HTC Flyer Tablet Amazon Price: $5.79 Verizon Motorola Droid A855 Android Cell Phone (no contract) Amazon Price: $115.00 List Price: $199.99 Apple iPod touch 8GB (4th Generation) - Black - Current Version Amazon Price: $188.00 List Price: $199.00

Call Procedure of a mobile (Basic) The call setup takes place in the following way: 1. GMSC receives a signaling message "Initial Address Message (IAM)" for the incoming call (MSISDN). IAM is part of the ISUP. IAM is the first message sent in a call set-up by a Switch or Exchange to other partner exchange. IAM seizes / reserves a circuit between the exchanges for the call and contains the information of numbers dialed by the calling party. 2. GMSC sends a signaling message "Send Routing Information (SRI)" to the HLR where the subscriber data is stored (MSISDN). SRI is a MAP message from GMSC to HLR to request routing info in order to route a call towards a mobile subscriber. 3. HLR uses MSISDN to find the subscriber data in the database. The Supplementary Service (Call forward unconditional not active) is verified. The VLR address that corresponds to the subscriber location and the IMSI are retrieved. HLR sends a signaling message "Provide Roaming Number" using the VLR address as the destination (IMSI). 4. VLR having received the message, requests MSC to seize an idle MSRN and to associate it with the IMSI received. VLR sends back the result to the HLR (MSRN). 5. HLR sends back the result to the GMSC (MSRN). 6. GMSC uses MSRN to re-route the call to the MSC. MSC receives a signaling message "Initial Address Message" for the incoming call (MSRN). MSC performs digit analysis on the received MSRN. The result is "Mobile terminating". The MSC finds the association between the MSRN and the IMSI. The MSRN is released and the IMSI is used for the final establishment of the call. 7. Upon receipt of the IAM message, the destination MSS requests bearer information from the destination MGW and forwards this information to the originating MSS in the

Application Transport Mechanism (APM) message. The APM message contains addressing and optional codec information from the destination MGW. 8. After the TCH is established, the destination MSC transmits an ISUP Address Complete Message (ACM) to the originating MSC to indicate that the remote end of the connection has been reserved. 9. The destination MSC connects the ringback tone to the calling party and sends the Connection Progress (CPG) message to the originating MSC to inform it that the destination phone is now alerting. 10. When the called party picks up the phone, the destination MSC terminates the ringing tone and transmits an ISUP Answer Message (ANM) to the originating MSC. 11. If the call is chargeable, the charging starts upon receipt of the ANM message. 12. If the calling party hangs up first, the originating MSC sends an ISUP release message (REL) to release the connection between the MSCs. 13. If the called party hangs up first, or if the line is busy, the destination MSC sends a REL to the originating MSC indicating the release cause (e.g., normal release or busy). Upon receiving the REL, the destination MSC disconnects the connection to the called party and transmits an ISUP release complete message (RLC) to the originating MSC to acknowledge the release of the remote end of the connection.
