Design and Analysis of Enhanced Performance Simulator for GSM Network

Abstract

The rapid advances in mobile communication systems, especially in global system for mobile communication (GSM), have led to a wide range of developments in design, simulation, controlling mechanism, management protocols and performance analyzing techniques of such systems.Several Software simulator systems are designed and implemented in this work. The designed systems have simulated the real GSM cellular network with all related topics concerning the control on calling mechanism, mobility managements, and others. In this concern, simulators for the GSM cellular network, Mobile Station, Base Transceiver Station, Base Station Controller, and Mobile Switching Center are all designed and implemented in this work.Moreover, Several Graphical Users Interacts (GUIs) are built to analyze and evaluate the performance of the designed cellular network systems at different operating conditions. This has been base on a comprehensive investigation to the mathematical analyzing approaches such as the calculating the call blocking probability, the hand off dropping probability and network performance optimization after adopting the guard channel principle.
