ABSTRACT

The Indian telecommunication industry, with more than 660 million mobile phone connections is the second largest telecommunication network in the world. The Indian telecom industry is the fastest growing in the world and is projected that India will have a billion plus' mobile users by Jan 2012. The Indian telephone line has increased from a meagre 40 million (approx.) in the year 2000 to an astounding figure now. The main drivers for this extraordinary growth are because of Governments Telecom policy reforms and GSM technology. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is the most popular standard for mobile telephony systems in the world. GSM is considered a second generation (2G) mobile phone system as it differs from its predecessor wireless access technologies in that both signaling and speech channels are digital. The GSM network consists mainly of three important subsystems: The Radio Subsystem. The Network Subsystem. The Operation support system.

The Radio subsystem (RSS) acts as an wireless access network to GSM core network enabling the mobile phone users to get all the telecom services provided by the service providers. RSS is the most important subsystem out of all the above mentioned three subsystems because of its huge scale of operations involved and the challenges it pose to the service providers network performance. The vital network element in GSM RSS is the base transceiver station (BTS). Due to tough competition in the current Indian telecom market, all the telecom operators are constantly on their toes to consistently improve and deliver the radio network performance to sustain and improve their market share. The radio network performance of any operator is mainly dependent on the effectiveness and efficiency of their RF network designing, planning, implementation, and optimization of BTS sites. The advanced 3G BTS station is known as Node-B in 3G mobile network. In this project, the participants will learn about the installation and commissioning of GSM BTS site of Motorola make. The project members will also be provided the opportunity to work with BSNL live equipment available in RTTC, BSNL campus to gain the real time operating knowledge of RSS.
