    MEE10:71 LOCATION-AWARE DECISION ALGORITHM FOR HANDOVER ACROSS HETEROGENOUS WIRELESS NETWORK. BY STANLEY O.OKOYE This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering with Emphasis on Telecommunication. Department of Telecommunication Blekinge Institute of Technology Karlskrona, Sweden August 2010 DEDICATION: To my wife Gloria Okoye ,and my child Kamsi Okoye for their love, patience while doing this work; to my brothers Stephen E. Okoye and Augustine I. Okoye for their wonderful support and encouragement. ii ABSTRACT Vertical handover is the processes that switch a mobile node from one technology to another in order to maintain a communication in a network. Heterogeneous Networks are two Networks whose entities support different technologies. Because of the benefits brought about by 3G networks such UMTS, it is increasingly desirable to integrate 3G networks with WLAN. WLAN is a low coverage, high speed network compared to 3G networks. Consequently, WLAN is used to extend 3G networks at certain locations in order to provide improved services and address QoS issues. To achieve a beneficial vertical handover in a network, an algorithm that departs from the conventional RF based algorithm is necessary. An attempt is made in this study to provide such algorithm which aims to utilize location information stored in a WLAN coverage database, and the location service entities of UTRAN as defined by 3GPP to determine a valuable/beneficial vertical handover between UMTS and WLAN. RF based conventional downward vertical handovers can be inefficient and wastes resources. This study aims to correct the lapses associated with conventional RF based vertical handover across heterogeneous network.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract The Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is a digital mobile phone technology that permits enhanced data communication rates as a backward-compatible annex of the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). It delivers increased bit-rates per radio channel, which results to a threefold increase in capacity and performance compared with an ordinary GSM/General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) connection. It has found many applications in packet switched communication scenarios, such as internet connections. In a GSM environment, owing to its cellular nature, the communication signals are sent over the air interface. Therefore, it is less secure than in a wired network because it is prone to eavesdroppers equipped with appropriate radio receivers. To address the various security challenges, several security functions were built into GSM to safeguard subscriber privacy. These functions include: authentication of the registered subscribers only; secure data transfer through the use of encryption; subscriber identity protection; making mobile phones inoperable without a subscriber identity module (SIM); disallowing duplicate SIMs on the network; and securely storing the individual subscriber authentication key ( KI).

  • Network Architecture
    Chapter 1 Network Architecture This section gives an overview of the most important entities in a GSM network and the different protocols that are used between these entities. A single GSM network is often referred to as a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). This is the network operated by a single provider in a single region. In most countries each provider maintains a single PLMN, but in certain large countries, like the USA, several PLMNs can be maintained by a single provider. A PLMN manages all traffic between mobile phones and all traffic between mobile phones and the other land networks. These land networks can either be the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), an ISDN network, or the Internet. Figure 1.1 shows an overview of all the entities in a GSM network. These entities are often subdivided between three “domains”; the Mobile Station (MS) – i.e. mobile phones – , the Base Station Subsytem (BSS) and the Network Switching Subsystem (NSS). We will now look at each of these in more detail. 1.1 Mobile Station (MS) The Mobile Station (MS) is the subscribers module most people are familiar with. It consists of both some Mobile Equipment (ME) and a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). Both are needed for the Mobile Station (MS) to function in the GSM network. Hence MS = ME+SIM. 1.1.1 Mobile Equipment (ME) The Mobile Equipment (ME) is simply the GSM phone people use to make and receive calls in a cellular network. It is basically a transmitter-receiver unit that is independent from network providers1.

  • Fuzzing the GSM Protocol
    Radboud University Nijmegen Master's Thesis Computer Science Fuzzing the GSM Protocol by Brinio Hond Supervisors: Thesis number: 654 ir. Stan Hegta Date: July 29, 2011 ir. Ronald Heilb dr.ir. Erik Pollc aAdvisor ICT Security & Control at KPMG bManager ICT Security & Control at KPMG cAssociate Professor Digital Security at Radboud University Nijmegen ii Abstract In our current society GSM can be considered a critical infrastructure as it is used by over 3.5 billion people worldwide. And even though the protocol is already over twenty years old most serious scrutiny on it stems from the last couple of years. This is due to the rapid evolution of Software Defined Radio (SDR) five years ago, which allowed most of the signal processing to take place in software instead of hardware. Several open source projects emerged that used the principle of SDR to implement a GSM stack in software using relatively cheap radio hardware. In this thesis one part of the security of GSM is analysed using an SDR based on the open source project OpenBTS and a hardware device called USRP-1. With a technique called protocol fuzzing the robustness of the implementation of the GSM protocol on different cell phones is tested. In this thesis it is first described which parts of the protocol stack are most suitable for fuzzing, as well as which fields in GSM communication are most likely to result in strange behaviour on the receiving end. Then this theory is put to the test and two parts of the GSM stack (SMS and Call Control) are fuzzed on actual cell phones.

This standard includes Service Option 6 and Service Option 14 (as defined in [15]), which support delivery of short messages on Traffic Channels. Service Option 6 and Service Option 14 conform to the general requirements for service options specified in [10]. A mobile station can obtain Short Message Service operating in either the analog or the spread spectrum (CDMA) mode when it conforms to this standard.

  • Anatomy of Contemporary GSM Cellphone Hardware
    Anatomy of contemporary GSM cellphone hardware Harald Welte <[email protected]> April 14, 2010 Abstract Billions of cell phones are being used every day by an almost equally large number of users. The majority of those phones are built according to the GSM protocol and interoperate with GSM networks of hundreds of carriers. Despite being an openly published international standard, the architecture of the GSM network and its associated protocols are only known to a relatively small group of R&D engineers. Even less public information exists about the hardware architecture of the actual mobile phones themselves, at least as far as it relates to that part of the phone implementing the GSM protocols and facilitating access to the public GSM networks. This paper is an attempt to serve as an introductory text into the hardware architecture of contempo- rary GSM mobile phone hardware anatomy. It is intended to widen the technical background on mobile phones within the IT community. 1 Foreword This document is the result of my personal research on mobile phone hardware and system-level software throughout the last 6+ years. Despite my past work for Openmoko Inc., I have never been professionally involved in any aspect of the actual GSM related hardware of any phone. Nevertheless I have the feeling that in the wider information technology industry, I am part of a very, very small group of people who actually understand mobile phones down to the lowest layer. I hope it is useful for any systems level engineer with an interest in understanding more about how mobile phone hardware actually works.
