Agenda • GSM • Architecture, Interface, … • Enhancements • HSCSD • GPRS • SIM • Architecture • Protocoles
Why GSM in 1982? • Good subjective speech quality • Low terminal and service cost • Support for international roaming • Ability to support handheld terminals • Support for range of new services and facilities • Spectral efficiency • ISDN compatibility
Phased GSM Approach 1 • GSM Phase 1 features • Call Forwarding • All Calls • No Answer • Engaged • Unreachable • Call Barring • Outgoing - Bar certain outgoing calls (e.g. ISD) • Incoming - Bar certain incoming calls (Useful if in another country) • Global roaming - Visit any other country with GSM and a roaming agreement and use your phone and existing number
Phased GSM Approach 2 • GSM Phase 2 features • SMS - Short Message Service - Allows you to send text messages too and from phones • Multi Party Calling - Talk to five other parties as well as yourself at the same time • Call Holding - Place a call on Hold • Call Waiting - Notifies you of another call whilst on a call • Mobile Data Services - Allows handsets to communicate with computers • Mobile Fax Service - Allows handsets to send, retrieve and receive faxes • Calling Line Identity Service - This facility allows you to see the telephone number of the incoming caller on our handset before answering • Advice of Charge - Allows you to keep track of call costs • Cell Broadcast - Allows you to subscribe to local news channels • Mobile Terminating Fax - Another number you are issued with that receives faxes that you can then download to the nearest fax machine.
Phased GSM Approach 3 • GSM Phase 2 + features • Available by 1998 • Upgrade and improvements to existing services • Majority of the upgrade concerns data transmission, including bearer services and packet switched data at 64 kbps and above • DECT access to GSM • PMR/Public Access Mobile Radio (PAMR)-like capabilities • GSM in the local loop • Virtual Private Networks • Packet Radio • SIM enhancements • Premium rate services (e.g. Stock prices sent to your phone)

Phased GSM Approach 3 • GSM-R • Future Railway control platform • UMTS • In the context of IMT 2000 families • Releases 4, 5 and 6 • Each release is a complete setand a system can be build on it
Reference Configuration ISDN/PSTN
Cellular System • The geographic area is divided into cells • Each cell has a Base Station managing the communications • A set of cells managed by a single MSC is called Location Area land link MSC VLR HLR land link VLR MSC BaseStation Radio link MSC Mobile Switching Center VLR Visitor Location Register HLR Home Location Register

Where is the cellular phone? • Handset Switched ON > "here I am" • Location update • The radio station relays the information to the nearest exchange: The VLR • The VLR updates the HLR • This way, the home exchange always knows where the phone is • The telephone number of the cellularphone indicates the home exchage. • The handy works with a provision number
Roaming (# Handover) • Roaming is the ability to use your own GSM phone number in another GSM network. • A roaming agreement is a business agreement between two network operators to transfer items such as call charges and subscription information back and forth, as their subscribers roam into each others areas.
