As illustrated in Figures 2.1–2.4, organizations and interconnections of different network elements constitute the Network Architecture for a particular mobile communications network, such as the GSM, GPRS, UMTS, and LTE networks. Interconnections are realized through different logical and physical interfaces as described later in Chapter 6. Related network elements of a mobile communications network are grouped and logically divided into three domains, as follows:

 Access Network (AN)

 Core Network (CN)

 Mobile Station or User Equipment (MS/UE)

AN and CN form the infrastructure domain of a typical mobile communications system and network.
