Architecture of CDMA system



MSC
  • It's responsible for setting up, managing and clearing connections as routing the calls to the proper user.
  • It provides network interfaces, the charging function and the function of processing the signalling.
  • MSC get data for call handling from 3 database: VLR/HLR/AUC

VLR
  • It stores all related information of mobile subscribers that enter its coverage area, which enables MSC to set up incoming and outgoing calls.
  • Subscriber parameters: subscriber number, location area identity (LAI), user's status, services which subscriber can use and so on.
  • When the subscriber leaves this area, it should register in another VLR, and the previous VLR will delete all the data about this subscriber.
  • VLR can be built together with the MSC or set separately.

HLR
  • It's a sttic database. When a user apply for mobile service, all data about this subscriber will be stored in HLR.
  • Subscriber information (ESN, MDN, IMSI, MIN), service information and valid term.
  • The mobile subscriber location (MSC/VLR address), so as to set up the call route to the MS.
  • HLR can be built together with the MSC or set separately.

Auc
  • Conception: It's an entity to prevent illegalsubscribers from accessing CDMA network. It can generate the parameter to confirm the subscriber's identity.
  • Database (save MIN, ESN, authentication key)
  • Generate of random number
  • Algorithm (Cave algirthm)
  • AUC can be built separately or together with HLR.
