After a MS is turned on, it will attempt to contact a common GSM PLMN, so the MS will select an appropriate cell, and extract from it the parameters of the control channel.

RAND: the question asked by the network side Ki: stored in the SIM card and AUC in a very confidential way SRES: signed response. It is obtained through the calculation of subscribers unique key parameter Ki.

MS and MSC.
(3) Authentication and encryption and enter the call setup starting phase. (4) Service channel allocation (5) Send ringing to the called subscriber, and send back the call connection acknowledgment signal to MS. (6)The called subscriber offhooks to reply, in which case a response (connection) message is sent to MS, thus entering the ultimate call session phase.
MS to MS call
(1) MS1 dials the phone number of MS2. BSS informs MSC1 of the call. (2) MSC1 analyzes the phone number of MS2, finds out the HLR of MS2 and sends the route application to HLR. (3) HLR queries the current location information of MS2 and obtains MSRN from the MSC2/VLR2. (4) MSC2/VLR2 allocates the route information, that is, MSRN and submits the MSRN to the HLR. (5) HLR sends the MSRN to the MSC1. (6) MSC2 sets up the call with MSC2 according to the MSRN. (7) MSC2/VLR2 sends the paging message to MS2. (8) MSC2/VLR2 receives the message, indicating the access of MS2 is allowed. (9) The call between MSC2 and MSC1 is set up. (10) MSC1 sends the successful connection signal to MS1. MS1 and MS2 can talk over the phone.
