36 Security Moment - Location Granularity Commonly heard assertion: The phone company knows exactly where all of their customers are located at every moment. Virtually all phones are equipped with some type of GPS resolution. Is this true? What are the security implications? What services could be enabled? 14
37 Hierarchy of Location Information VLR MSC VLR MSC Registration Registration SMSC Temporary Routing # HLR GMSC Phone Number Paging 15
38 E911 16
39 E911 Enhanced 911 (E911) transmits your GPS location to the nearest Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). 16
40 E911 Enhanced 911 (E911) transmits your GPS location to the nearest Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). This is how you always get the nearest 911 call center, regardless of where you are traveling in North America. 16
41 E911 Enhanced 911 (E911) transmits your GPS location to the nearest Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). This is how you always get the nearest 911 call center, regardless of where you are traveling in North America. But what about the Location On vs. E911 Only options available on most phones? 16
42 E911 Enhanced 911 (E911) transmits your GPS location to the nearest Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). This is how you always get the nearest 911 call center, regardless of where you are traveling in North America. But what about the Location On vs. E911 Only options available on most phones? Location On does not allow the phone company to constantly track you. It instead allows services within the network to use your GPS data when you initiate them (e.g., Verizon Navigator, Family Locator). 16
43 E911 Enhanced 911 (E911) transmits your GPS location to the nearest Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). This is how you always get the nearest 911 call center, regardless of where you are traveling in North America. But what about the Location On vs. E911 Only options available on most phones? Location On does not allow the phone company to constantly track you. It instead allows services within the network to use your GPS data when you initiate them (e.g., Verizon Navigator, Family Locator). The phone company simply can not keep track of all the changes in location information at every moment! 16
44 Voice Path MS BS MSC VLR PSTN/ISDN HLR Coded Voice Full rate voice (64 Kbps) This is under the assumption that the underlying network supports digital voice. What does that mean? 17
45 Analog vs Digital Phone systems are generally classified as either analog or digital. What exactly does that mean? This is all about how data is represented and delivered through the network. Analog is the translation of voice/sound into electrical impulses. Pure waveform representations of sounds. Digital is an approximation of this waveform, represented in 0s and 1s. 18
46 Analog vs Digital - Tradeoffs Analog Inexpensive - think cheap home phones Bandwidth constrained - very limited amount of data can be sent. Security thoughts? Noise - every link introduces noise, reduces clarity. Digital Expensive - relatively speaking Improved voice clarity - signal arrives exactly as approximated. What about quality? Higher bandwidth - compression of data. 19
47 Voice Encoding - GSM-FR/PCM/G msec msec Samples 160 Samples RTP-LTP Encoder Sender 260-bit frame RTP-LTP Decoder Receiver Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is the basis for GSM Full- Rate (GSM-FR) voice encoding. 8 khz samples (64 kbps) reduced to 13.2 kbps using Regular Pulse Excitation - Long Term Prediction (RPE-LTP). Converted back to 64 kbps at MSC prior to Release 4. Changes in the core towards TrFO for all IP. 20

49 Wireless Access Basics Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA): Analog cellular - 1G Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA): IS-54, IS-136, FSM - 2G GPRS - 2.5G Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA): IS-95 (cdmaone) - 2G IS-2000 (CDMA2000), WCDMA - 3G 22
50 FDD/TDD modes for Forward/Reverse Channels Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) Two distinct bands of frequency for each user (forward and reverse). Frequency separation between forward and reverse constant for all channels. Reverse channel typically lower frequency than forward channel (so that the mobile device can transmit at lower power). Time Division Duplex (TDD) Each duplex channel has a forward timeslot and reverse timesolt for bidirectional communication. Simplifies subscriber equipment. Rigid timing required for time-slotting. 23
51 Background - AMPS Advanced Mobile Phone System Analog Channels Frequency Modulation (FM) 1 channel per carrier (1 conversation) f c 24
52 Background - TDMA Combination of FDMA and TDMA System operated within certain frequency bands Within system bands: many carrier frequencies are defined each carrier is divided into timeslots a channel is defined by a set of time slots on a carrier frequency Forward (downlink) and Reverse (uplink) channels use different carriers. Information is digitally coded. 25
53 TDMA TDMA Overview One Carrier/ Channel One Slot One User Co-channel Interference Inter-symbol Interference Capacity limited by number of carriers, slots. System Bandwidth FDMA 26
54 TDMA Single carrier frequency is shared by several users. Data transmission occurs in bursts, resulting in lower battery consumption. High synchronization overhead is necessary because of burst transmissions. Discontinuous transmission also make handoffs simpler since the mobile device can listen to other base stations during idle time slots Due to high transmission rates, inter-symbol interference is common and needs equalization. 27
55 Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) used in several wireless broadcast channels (cellular, satellite, etc) standards unique code assigned to each user; i.e., code set partitioning all users share same frequency, but each user has own chipping sequence (i.e., code) to encode data encoded signal = (original data) X (chipping sequence) decoding: inner-product of encoded signal and chipping sequence allows multiple users to coexist and transmit simultaneously with minimal interference (if codes are orthogonal ) 28
56 CDMA Encode/Decode channel output Z i,m sender data bits code d 1 = d 0 = Z i,m = d i. cm slot 1 channel output slot 0 channel output slot 1 slot 0 received input M D i = Σ Z i,m. cm m=1 M d 1 = -1 d 0 = 1 receiver code slot 1 slot 0 slot 1 channel output slot 0 channel output 29
57 CDMA: two-sender interference 30
58 CDMA Privacy Given that all signals look like noise unless you have the despreading sequence, what sort of privacy does CDMA give you? IS-95 operates at 1.25 Mc/s and has a long code of 42 bits. Ideally, you should get a 2 N search space......based on an ideal pseudo-random generator. Zhang et al show that this can actually be cracked by capturing 42 frames and solving 42 linear equations. That can be done in 840 ms. What is the implication for security here? 31
59 CDMA Benefits Higher capacity interference limited = high efficiency uses voice activity detection to reduce transmission bandwidth Improved quality soft handoff CDMA has frequency, spatial and time diversity to adapt to errors Ease of deployment no frequency planning; frequency reuse = 1 Increased privacy spreads small signal (9.6kbps) over large spectrum (1.25Mbps) so that signal appears as noise Increased talk time power control (performed 800x/sec) ensures that the MS transmits at optimum power, resulting in longer battery life. 32
60 3G CDMA Interfaces CDMA2000 (3GPP2/TIA) Chip rate: , Mc/s Channel bandwidth: 1.25/5MHz Network synchronous: Base stations synchronized via GPS 20 ms frames Common CDM pilot Power control (800 Hz) WCDMA (3GPP/ETSI) Chip rate: 3.84 Mc/s Channel bandwidth: 5MHz Network synchronous mode 10 ms frames Common CDM pilot Power control (1600 Hz) CDMA Harmonization group is trying to reconcile these and the SCDMA standard. WCDMA once had a chip rate of Mc/s, dedicated CDM pilot and was only asynchronous. 33
61 CDMA2000 Observations Compatibility CDMA2000 as the 3G air interface is compatible with IS-95. CDMA2000 networks can be deployed as overlay on existing 2G spectrum. Network architecture/protocols designed to easily migrate from IS-95. What are the implications here? 34
62 CDMA2000 Observations Network architecture is more IP friendly than UMTS, but still not all-ip. 3G1X, 3G1X EV-DO (HDR), 3G3X high data rate options for evolution. 3G1X and HDR deployments taking place in the US; 3G3x will use the new 700 Mhz spectrum sometime in the future. 35
63 WCDMA Observations WCDMA is the UMTS air interface and is a disruptive change from GSM. GPRS allows for evolution to higher data rates from GSM, and uses UMTS network architecture but not the WCDMA air interface. Network architecture not pure IP and is not IETF friendly. All IP wireless network architecture is the big theme in this space. 36
64 WCDMA Observations Regulations allow full UMTS (5Mhz) deployment only in new frequency spectrum. WCDMA 1900 has 3.84 MHz channels. Providers have paid huge amounts for UMTS spectrum. The most recent 700 Mhz auction raised approximately $US 19.6 billion. Block D (10 MHz bandwidth) did not meet its reserve price and will be open to auction again sometime in the future. Tremendous money and effort is being poured in! Financial issues dictate deployment speed... Now talk about this in the context of the iphone. 37
65 GSM - Air Interface Let s get into the details of the most widely used air interface... The GSM Air Interface supports: Call origination and termination Registration (location update and authentication) SMS Mobile assisted handoff User confidentiality Data confidentiality Sleep mode 38
66 GSM Air Interface - Outline System Description Channel Structure Protocols and Control Channels Traffic Channels 39
67 GSM Spectrum 50 MHz Uplink and downlink split bandwidth and use different frequencies Reverse channel (uplink) MHz Forward channel (downlink) MHz Carriers spread at 200 KHz Why is this? 40
68 GSM Structure Traffic Channel (per user in a call) Common Control Channel (CCCH) TCH (13 KBps) Common Control Channel (CCCH) Used for control information: registration, paging, call origination/termination. Traffic Channel (TCH) Information transfer in-call control (fast/slow associated control channels) 41
69 GSM Structure The CCCH is really a series of many logical channels, each discernible by their position in time. The details of which are coming in future lectures. The diagram in the previous slide should not be viewed to scale. The control channels generally represent ~3-6% of the resources in a cell. Everything else is dedicated to TCHs. Why? 42
70 Frequency Assignments FDMA/TDMA systems Take advantage of frequency attenuation Key: Split spectrum into set of frequencies (channels) and reuse frequencies in distant cells. Requires careful frequency planning. Fixed vs. Dynamic allocation Channels are typically assigned to cells in a fixed manner. Fixed assignment is simple to implement as base stations are independently and statically assigned their channels. Dynamic channel assignment based on load is possible but is more complicated and requires real-time coordination between different base stations. 43
71 Frequency Reuse Cells typically modeled as hexagonal Circles result in overlaps, square/ triangle possible but result in larger approximation. Each color represents a different set of carriers. Reuse factor F=3 shown For hexagonal cells: i 2 +(i j)+j 2 ; i 1; j 1 Paging Paging To find co-channel cell, go i steps in one direction, turn 60 counterclockwise and go j steps. 44
72 Co-channel Interference & System Capacity If R = cell radius, D=distance between co-channel cell centers, co-channel reuse ration Q: Q = D/R = Larger Q implies better transmission due to reduced interference, but also implies lower capacity per cell (S/N where S is the total number of available channels). Let i0 be the number of co-channel interfering cells, making the Signal to Interference (SIR) ratio at the receiver: S I = i 0 S i=1 I i 3F 45
73 Co-Channel Interference & System Capacity Assuming log-distance path loss (exponent: n) and interference from first layer of equidistant interfering cells: S I = R n i 0 i=1 D n = i 0 = ( 3F ) n D n R i 0 46
74 Example Capacity Calculation Assume system can use all frequencies System-bandwidth = 50 MHz System uses FDD => bandwidth = 25 MHz Carriers spaced at 200 KHz N carr = B sys B carrier N carr = 125 System capacity depends on re-use factors and cell size. 47
75 Frequency Reuse Factor Calculation Let signal to interference ration of 18dB or more be acceptable. Assume nearest 6 co-channel equidistant cells interfere. Assume path-loss exponent is 4. S I = 18dB = 63.1 ( 3F ) 4 6 Frequency reuse factor F >= 6.5 = 7 48
76 Cell Capacity N carr = 125 N cell = N carr /F F = 7, Ncell = 17 8 channels per carrier (TDMA) 136 channels/cell (Acell) Each cell has a capacity of 136 simultaneous voice calls F=3 Ncell = 41 8 channels per carrier 328 channels/cell 49
77 System Capacity Network size = Z square miles Cell size = C square miles cells/network = Z/C Channels/network, Anet A net = A cell Z C Z = 1000, C = 10, F = 7, Anet = 13,600 Z = 1000, C = 10, F = 3, Anet = 32,800 Z = 1000, C = 25, F = 7, Anet = 5,440 System capacity has a linear inverse relationship with cell size and frequency reuse patterns under ideal conditions 50
78 Capacity and Blocking Cellular systems rely on trunking to accommodate a large number of users with a limited number of channels. Trunking exploits statistical multiplexing of large numbers of users (calls). Think about lines at the bank. System is engineered with enough channels to handle the peak hour offered load at the given maximum blocking rate. Typically, blocking for new calls is maintained at below 1%. To calculate blocking, we need to apply some queuing theory. 51
79 Performance: Blocking µ 2µ 3µ Nµ p n = p B = p n = p B = A is the offered load in Erlangs: /µ n i=0 n n! n i=0 A n n! i i! A i i! λ Models input (call rate) of λ, N trunks, holding time of μ N µ µ µ 52
80 Cell Capacity Planning Based on spectrum allocation and frequency reuse patterns, calculate number of channels available per cell. Based on user density, calling and holding patterns, calculate load per cell in Erlangs. Use Erlang B formula to calculate blocking given the load and number of channels. 53
81 Practice Problem Consider a system with 8 MHz total bandwidth and carrier frequencies of 160 khz. Each carrier supports 3 voice channels using TDMA. If the frequency reuse factor F=7, and the network covers 1,000 mi 2, determine the blocking probability on the air interface for cell size of 1.0 mi 2 assuming that users make/receive a combined 3 calls/hour, calls last an average of 2.5 minutes and there are 10 users/mi 2. 54
