  5. GSM system overview • The GSM system is a frequency- and time-division cellular system, each physical channel is characterized by a carrier frequency and a time slot number • Cellular systems are designed to operate with groups of low-power radios spread out over the geographical service area. Each group of radios serve MSs presently located near them. The area served by each group of radios is called a CELL • Uplink and downlink signals for one user are assigned different frequencies, this kind of technique is called Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) • Data for different users is conveyed in time intervals called slots , several slots make up a frame. This kind of technique is called Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)

  6. GSM Development 1989 Standard Protocol for GSM take effect 1991 GSM system began to provide service in Europe(2G) System was named as Global System for Mobile Communication 1992 1994 Provide services for the whole world 1996 Micro Cell Technique is used in GSM system

  7. Cell Technique Macro Cell and Micro Cell • A certain radio coverage area formed by a set of transceivers that connected to a set of antennas is called a CELL. • Macro Cell • In the beginning , High-Power BTSs are adopted to provide services. The BTS covers a wider area , but its frequency utilization is not efficient. So , it can only provide a few channels for subscribers. • Micro Cell • Later the Low-Power BTS joins the system for getting a better service area with high capacity . At the same time it adopts the frequency reuse technique to improve the efficiency of the frequency utilization and also the whole capacity of the network.

  8. Multiple Access Technique • Multiple Access Technique allows many subscribers to use the same communication medium. • There are three kinds of basic Multiple Access Technique : FDMA , TDMA and CDMA. • GSM system adopt FDD-TDMA (FDMA and TDMA together).

  9. FDMA • FDMA uses different frequency channels to accomplish communication. • The whole frequency spectrum available is divided into many individual channels (for transmitting and receiving)，every channel can support the traffic for one subscriber or some control information. Frequency Time

  10. TDMA • TDMA accomplishes the communication in different timeslot. • A carrier is divided into channels based on time. Different signals occupy different timeslots in certain sequence , that is , many signals are transmitted on the same frequency in different time. Frequency Time

  11. CDMA • CDMA accomplishes the communication in different code sequences. • Special coding is adopted before transmission, then different information will lose nothing after being mixed and transmitted together on the same frequency and at the same time. Frequency Time

  12. Uplink Downlink 890 915 935 960MHz The Frequency Spectrum GSM 900 Duplex Separation: 45MHz Channel Bandwidth: 200KHz

  13. Base Station Receive Base Station Transmit 1710 1785 1805 1880MHz The Frequency Spectrum DCS 1800 Duplex Separation: 95MHz Channel Bandwidth: 200KHz

  14. The Frequency Spectrum

  15. Frequency Reuse • The frequency resource of mobile system is very limited. • The different Subscribers can use the same frequency in different places. • The quality of communication must be ensured.
