Cellular Telephone Systems
A cellular telephone system provides a wireless connection
to the PSTN for any user location within the radio range
of the system
A cellular systems accommodate a large number of users
over a large geographic area, within limited frequency
spectrum

Cellular Telephone Systems
A sophisticated switching technique called handoff enables a
call to proceed uninterrupted when the user moves from one
cell to other
MSC is responsible for connecting all mobiles to the PSTN in a
cellular system.
Channels used for voice transmission
Forward voice channel(FVC)
Reverse voice channel(RVC)
Channels used for control signals transmission
Forward control channel(FCC)
Reverse control channel(RCC)
Control channels are also called setup channels
