  2. Base station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_station

    The base station is one end of a communications link. The other end is a movable vehicle-mounted radio or walkie-talkie. [6] Examples of base station uses in two-way radio include the dispatch of tow trucks and taxicabs. Basic base station elements used in a remote-controlled installation. Selective calling options such as CTCSS are optional.

  3. Base station subsystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_station_subsystem

    The base station subsystem (BSS) is the section of a traditional cellular telephone network which is responsible for handling traffic and signaling between a mobile phone and the network switching subsystem.

  4. Cell site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_site

    Cellular lattice tower A cell tower in Peristeri, Greece. A cell site, cell phone tower, cell base tower, or cellular base station is a cellular-enabled mobile device site where antennas and electronic communications equipment are placed (typically on a radio mast, tower, or other raised structure) to create a cell, or adjacent cells, in a cellular network.

  5. Base transceiver station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_transceiver_station

    A base transceiver station (BTS) or a baseband unit [1] (BBU) is a piece of equipment that facilitates wireless communication between user equipment (UE) and a network. UEs are devices like mobile phones (handsets), WLL phones, computers with wireless Internet connectivity, or antennas mounted on buildings or telecommunication towers.

  6. Network switching subsystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switching_subsystem

    The base station subsystems (BSS) which handles the radio communication with 2G and 2.5G mobile phones. The UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) which handles the radio communication with 3G mobile phones. The visitor location register (VLR) provides subscriber information when the subscriber is outside its home network.

  7. Picocell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picocell

    A picocell is a small cellular base station typically covering a small area, such as in-building (offices, shopping malls, train stations, stock exchanges, etc.), or more recently in-aircraft. In cellular networks, picocells are typically used to extend coverage to indoor areas where outdoor signals do not reach well, or to add network capacity ...

  8. Base station identity code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_station_identity_code

    The base station identity code (BSIC) is a code used in GSM to uniquely identify a base station. The code is needed because it is possible that mobile stations receive the broadcast channel of more than one base station on the same frequency. This is due to frequency re-use in a cellular network. The BSIC is defined in GSM specification 03.03 ...

  9. Cell Global Identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_Global_Identity

    Cell Global Identity (CGI) is a globally unique identifier for a Base Transceiver Station in mobile phone networks. [1] It consists of four parts: Mobile Country Code (MCC), Mobile Network Code (MNC), Location Area Code (LAC) and Cell Identification (CI).
