1 Cellular Communication
The cellular systems are made up of numerous transmitting and receiving sites, whose individual coverage areas partially overlap. The concept of frequency reuse, same frequency is used by several sites, allows a high traffic density in a wide area. Due to the limited transmission range of the terminals, cellular systems are based on a large number of base stations on the infrastructure side, scattered over the area to cover, with each covering a fairly small geographical zone called cell. Cells are often represented by hexagons (see figure 1.1).

Figure 1.1 Cellular coverage representation.

GSM Net Architecture GSM network can be broadly divided into three broad parts, namely: 1. Mobile Station (MS) carried by the subscriber, 2. Base Station Sub-system (BSS) which controls the radio link with the mobile station. 3. Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) which performs the switching of calls between the mobile users, and between mobile and fixed network users.

FIGURE 1.2 GSM ARCHITECTURE

Each mobile station is given a unique identity. As soon as the mobile phone is turned on, it registers with the network and is authenticated; as such the network could always find the mobile phone. Larger amount of data is being exchanged to and from the following functional blocks in the MSC: Visitor Location Register, VLR Stores information about mobile subscribers that enter it coverage area, which is associated with the geographical area where the mobile is currently roaming. When there is an incoming call for the mobile, the HLR is interrogated about the present address of the VLR.

Home Location Register, HLR A database that contains all data concerning the subscription of the mobile subscriber, i.e. their access capabilities, subscribed services, and supplementary services. It also contains information about the VLR that is handling the mobile station currently. When the mobile changes location, the HLR is updated accordingly. It also provides the MSC with information about the MSC area where the mobile is actually located to allow incoming calls to be routed immediately to the called party. Authentication Centre, AUC Stored information that is necessary to protect communication through the air interface against any intrusions. The legitimacy of the subscriber is established through authentication and ciphering, which protects the user information against unwanted disclosure. Equipment Identity Register, EIR An option the network operator can use to enforce security. With this feature the network can identify defective or stolen mobile that may not be used in the network.

Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)

SIM is a smart card, which has a computer, and memory chip that is permanently installed in the mobile equipment. It comes in either the size of a credit card or smaller version known as the plug-in SIM.

The subscriber information, which includes a unique number called the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), is stored in the SIM card. SIM card identifies the subscriber to the network. To protect the SIM card from improper use, a security feature, a four digits personal identification number (PIN), is built in. The PIN is stored in the SIM card and can be changed by the subscriber. PIN2 is required for additional functions available with a special SIM card (Consult the operator for more information about the PIN 2). A code (PUK) is provided for unlocking the SIM card if the SIM card is blocked

SIM Application Toolkit
This is a new GSM feature that has been integrated into the GSM standards in Release 96, with further enhancements added as part of the Release 97 feature set. This feature came about because of a desire by Network Operators to offer differentiated services, without the need for the Mobile Manufacturers having to build different variant for different customers. The unique service offered by the Operator is placed as an application on the SIM and that could work on any mobile that supports the Toolkit feature. There is a distinct set of commands between the mobile and the SIM specifically for the Toolkit that allows the SIM Toolkit and the mobile to communicate independently of the GSM communication between the SIM and the mobile. Henceforth, the SIM Application Toolkit and Copyright © Siemens Pte Ltd. Centre All Rights Reserved ICM MP CCQ ASP/ASC Siemens Technical Support 4 of 33 Internal Use Only

SIEMENS PTE LTD
A55 Level 2 Service Manual GSM functionality on the SIM are separated logically. The Toolkit can interact directly with the mobile itself and adding itself to the mobile menu. Currently, Toolkit application on the SIM and its "other half" communicate by using the Short Message Service (SMS). "Proactive SIM" is a mechanism whereby the SIM can initiate actions to be taken by the mobile. These actions include: · · · · · · · · · · Display text from the SIM on the Mobile display Send short message Set up a voice call to a number held by the SIM Set up a data call to a number and bearer capabilities held by the SIM Send a Supplementary Service (SS) control or Unstructured Supplementary Services Data (USSD) string Play a tone in the mobile's ear piece or ringer Initiate a dialogue with the user Provide local information from the mobile to the SIM. Data download to the SIM from network Call control by the SIM.

SIM Applications Toolkit (SAT) allows the flexibility to update the SIM, to change the services and download new services over the air. In the SAT specification, the short message service is a key mechanism for personalizing the SIM in each user's GSM phone. It is designed as a client-server application. C45 series supports SAT Class 3 specification. When active, the name of the service may appear in the menu, and there will be sub-menu if more than one application is active. Figure 1.4 is the SAT icon.

Wireless Application Protocol, WAP

Wireless Application Protocol takes a client-server approach that uses the in-built micro-browser to make a request, in wireless mark-up language (WML), for information or service. The request is passed to a WAP Gateway, which then retrieves the information from an Internet server, in HTML format, and translates it into WML. The requested information is then sent to from the WAP Gateway to WAP client (mobile) using the available and most appropriate mobile network bearer services.

Wireless Application Environment (WAE) Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) Wireless Transaction Protocol (WTP) Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP) Bearers e.g. Data, SMS, USSD
TABLE 1.1 WAP PROTOCOL STACK

1. Wireless Application Environment Defines the user interface on the phone. WAE contains the WML, WML script and the wireless telephony application (WTA).

2. Wireless Session Protocol Link the WAE to two session services ­ one connection oriented operating above the WTP and a connectionless service operating above WDP.

3. Wireless Transaction Protocol Runs on top of the datagram service and part of the standard suite of TCP/IP protocols, to provide a simplified protocol suitable for low bandwidth mobile station.

Disassembly of A55/56/52
ESD concept; the internal circuits will be more susceptible to ESD because of the use of exchangeable

housing. The construction of the internal block must be/is designed, in the best possible way, to protect the circuit against sparks. The keypad must be completely closed to prevent any occurrence of an ESD disruptive discharge. The SIM contacts may be open, thus reachable for ESD contact discharge. This could lead to damage or destruction of the EGold pins. It is a requirement for the service personnel to observe ESD protection rules while performing servicing the A55.

Mobile Software Programming

The common mobile software available is divided into language groups. However, this software does not contain the specific settings, such as ringing tones, greeting text, short dial list, etc required by the operator(s) or service provider(s). Therefore, it is common to have some menu item(s) differ in different variants or are not visible at all. These settings are stored in different memory areas of the mobile and will be activated depending on the customer specific model or variant of the phone by a separate test step during the production process. Due to this separation of common mobile software and customer specific initialization, it is possible to fulfil the demands of the market requiring customization and flexibility. As a consequence, the software programming process in the LSO is divided into two different steps as follows: - Software update to actual version and appropriate language group - Programming of Customer Specific Initialization.

Siemens Service Equipment User Manual

Introduction
Every LSO repairing Siemens handset must ensure that the quality standards are observed. Siemens has developed an automatic testing system that will perform all necessary measurements. This testing system is known as:

Siemens Mobile Service Equipment
Using this system vastly simplifies the repair of the phones and will make sure that: 1. All possible faults are detected 2. Sets, which pass the test, will be good enough to return to customer. Starting from the P35 Series, Siemens will introduce a simpler and faster testing platform for testing a repaired Siemens mobile phone. The testing platforms are either base on R&S CMD 53/55 or CTS55 GSM test set or CMD200 with a software called (CTS, CMD, or CMU-GO). There is also test software available for testing with the Willtec 4201S the 4107 and the 4400 GSM test set called (CATS 4200 or CATS4400).

THE LSO WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE THE SYSTEM, CHOOSING BETWEEN THE COMPLETE PACKAGE OR SUB-SET OF IT. A FULLY AUTOMATIC TEST PROCEDURE IS ONLY POSSIBLE IF THE COMPLETE SYSTEM IS INSTALLED.

Make sure that your CTS firmware is Version 3.01 or higher. For CMD 55 it must be Version 4.03 and higher. Please check with the Service Info SB_0500 for the CTS/CMD Hardware Options.
