How mobile phones work?
• Mobile phones are a fantastic
combination of electronics and design
but what goes on behind the scenes is
just as important.
• Analogue Voice signal converts into a
digital signal in the form of zeros and
ones.
• Phone antenna converts the digital
signal into electromagnetic wave.
• Electromagnetic waves transferred
through the cell network to the
recipient’s phone and the call is made.
Overview of cell network transmission
• Electromagnetic waves travel to cell towers which are placed\divided in a
hexagonal cell geographical distribution.
• Cell towers are connected through Optical Fiber Cables.
• Electromagnetic signals picked by a tower is converted into light pulses
and processed by a base transceiver box.
• Signals are sent to the recipient’s cell tower where it is converted and
emitted into electromagnetic waves received by the recipient’s phone.
How to know the location of the recipient’s Cell Tower?
• Cell towers gets help from a Mobile Switching Center (MSC).
• MSC is either Homes MSC or Foreign MSC.
• Your Home MSC is updated and always knows your current location using
certain techniques:
1- Time Based.
2- Location area Based.
3- When phone is turned on.
Different Generations of Mobile Phones
