+The idea a cellular network was to use clusters to re-use frequencies more ofter, so more calls can be made in one area.
+As depicted, in a cluster with 7 cells (A to G), all cells must use different frequencies.
+All frequencies can be re-used in surrounding clusters.
+In the example, the G cell can use channel 4, 5 and 6 again in all other clusters, because their distance is far enough.
+As depicted, the distance is 4.6 times the radius of a cell coverage.
+To increase the number of calls using the same number of channels, the size of the cells have to be reduced.
+Because cells getting smaller, hand-off is required when moving from one cell area to another.
+A phone in a smaller cell must transmit with lower power than in large cells.
+To keep track in which cell the phone currently located, a registration process tells the mobile switching office (MSO) where the phone can be reached in case of an incoming call.

-Amps system was the first cellular system.
+The signaling is done with Manchester Code.
-By reducing cell size, the frequencies can be reused in lower distances, so more calls can be made in an area with the same amount of channels.
+The symbol rate is 10,000 Hz, resulting in a frequency of 10 KHz.
-Different cell sizes require a control of the tranmission power of the phone and the base station.
+To allow such high frequencies, the carrier frequency is directly shifted, instead of modulating two alternating tones.
-A system with small cells must handoff (handover) the call to another cell, if a subscriber moves outside the coverage area.
+</p>
-In order to know where a phone can be reached, it must register to a new cell (area), if it moves.

+Two words of 40 bits are repeated 5 times for redundancy.

+An A-word belongs to mobiles with the last significant bit of their mobile identification number equals '1' and a B-word to mobiles with the last significant bit of their mobile identification number equals '0'.

+Around sync and dotting and after every 10 bits of a message a B/I-bit is inserted, to indicate if the control channel is busy or not.
-
+During an incoming message from a mobile phone, the base station will block the channels by setting the B/I-bit, so other mobile phone must wait until the channel is marked free again.

+The bad news is, that the base station must react in less than 5 milliseconds, which is too fast for Osmocom-Analog.

+After some time (several minutes), the phone re-registers, because a counter in the broadcast message is incremented.

+Level adjustment:
+We see a receive level of around 93%.

+Tune your receiver to the up-link frequency, so you get loop-back of base station broadcast.
+Run the software with "-l 2" option, so it will decode its own broadcast, if looped back through radios.
+Use the variable resistor (connecting your transmitter) to adjust the volume until the received level matches the same level of your previously received message.
+In my case I adjust the transmitter to match around 93%. (+- 10% is good)
+Now, whatever frequency deviation the phone transmits for signaling, so does your transmitter.
+Use the other variable resistor (connecting your receiver) to adjust the volume until the level matches about 100%. (+- 10% is good)
+Switch back the receiver to up-link frequency and restart the phone.

+To make a call from the mobile phone to the base station, just enter some digits at the mobile phone and press the dial button.

+The base station will send an assignment to the mobile station on forward control channel (FOCC).
+Then phone an base station switch to the voice channel.
+In this case we have only defined one channel, so the control channel becomes a voice channel for the duration of the call.
