The anchor MSC is the MSC from which a handover has been initiated. The target MSC is the MSC toward which a Handover should take place.
The anchor MSC is the MSC that handled the first call procedure. It will always be in charge of the call. If mobile moves to another MSC the call will go to the anchor MSC and then to the second MSC. If the mobile moves to a third MSC the second MSC will be no longer be part of the call.
A normal MSC will connect BSC to the PLMN/PSTN Network directly. Meaning to say it will need to do the call connections and management from BSC all the way to PLMN/PSTN network. Once the network expands, the MSC will face congestion and therefore a solution needed. GMSC - Gateway MSC, as the name implies, will in this case serve as an interconnection between MSC and PLMN/PSTN Network. Thus this free up the resources of the MSC itself need to perform all the originally tasks.
In GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) plays a critical role in managing mobile communication. It connects calls by establishing the path for voice and data between mobile users and between mobile and fixed networks. Additionally, the MSC handles various functions including call routing, handovers, and managing mobile user information, such as location updates and billing. Overall, it is essential for ensuring efficient and reliable communication within the mobile network.
A MSC RNOC Technician 1 is typically an entry-level position within a Managed Services Center (MSC) focusing on Remote Network Operations Center (RNOC) tasks. This role involves monitoring network performance, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring the smooth operation of network services. Technicians may also assist in maintaining documentation and providing support for network-related incidents, often working under the guidance of more experienced staff. Overall, the position is crucial for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of network infrastructure.
The S reference point defines the interface between the base station subsystem (BSS) and the mobile services switching center (MSC) in a GSM network. It is used to carry signaling and user data between these network elements.

It is mobile service switching center and not just mobile switching center. Because it does not switches our mobile, but the service.
Mobile service Switching Center is the core component of the Network Subsystem in the GSM network architecture. It serves as the connection between other MSCs in the home network and the PSTN/ISDN. The main functions of the MSC include handling of: 1) Registration 2) Authentication 3) Location Updating 4) Handovers 5) Call Routing. Igwe John, Kalu
I think PSTN mainly serves to wired land-line(telephone) and MSC serves to cellular(mobile) network.
convert the data rate from 64 kbps to 16 kbps from from BSC output to MSC input and vice versa.. sources: my teacher

The Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) is a telephone exchange that makes the connection between mobile users within the network, from mobile users to the public switched telephone network and from mobile users to other mobile networks.The MSC also administers handovers to neighbouring base stations, keeps a record of the location of the mobile subscribers, is responsible for subscriber services and billing.
