MINS is an IP based solution that shall be designed to cater to a subscriber base of around 1000 subscribers. It shall support all the features and functionalities provided by the legacy switching systems.
MINS was required as the rate of the “Qualcomm chipset “for the BSC (base station controller) was rising day by day. Qualcomm company is extracting 5$ per subscriber from any Indian company for using their chipset that why in MINS, BSC is constructed not using any hardware but by binding the system by some algorithms. It means that in MINS, software is prepared which can do the work of the hardware chip for BSC instead of using that Qualcomm chipset.
The basic aim of designing of the MINS project is the removal of the Qualcomm chipset for BSC.
MINS is not the whole network; it is the part of a network which contains following networks identities. They are:-
1. BTS CONTROLLER-Base transceiver system controller
2. BSC-Base station controller
3. MSC-Mobile switching centre
4. HLR-Home location register
5. VLR-Visitor location register
MINS also contains some essential parts other than which are specified above. They may be either the parts of the four of them specified above or other ones. They should be considered in following lines as they come into the act.
Some assumptions are made preparing the MINS project. They are:-
SSD (Shared secret data) is shared with the VLR, in case of Authentication.
MINS system shall work with the Soft switch MGC (Media Gateway Controller) for all the calls originating from/terminating to the PSTN or GSM networks.
