  12. What are the types in GSM Network? • GSM-900 (Channels 125 operating band 900Mhz carrier spacing 200khz spacing 45Mhz) • GSM -1800 (Channels 374 spacing 95Mhz) • GSM -1900(Used in USA)

  13. Multiple Access Technique • Multiple Access – Achieved by dividing the available radio frequency spectrum, so that multiple users can be given access at the same time. • FDMA - Frequency Division Multiple Access • ( eg: GSM each Frequency channel is 200KHz) • TDMA - Time Division Multiple Access • ( eg: GSM each frequency channel is divided into 8 timeslots) • CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access • (eg: IS95- Each User data is coded with a unique code)

  14. Duplex Technique • Duplex - How the up link and Down link of a user is separated • FDD - Frequency Division Duplex • (eg:In GSM the up link and down link of a user is separated by 45MHz ) • TDD - Time Division Duplex • (the up link and down link of a user will be at the same frequency but at different Time )

Period is .577 * 8 = 4.616 milli secs

  18. GSM in comparison with other Standards • GSM gives mobility without any loss in Audio quality • Encryption techniques used gives high security in the air Interface and also use of SIM. • Bit Interleaving for high efficiency in Transmission. • Variable Power (Power budgeting- extend battery life) • Minimum Interference. • Features-CCS7 Signaling • SMS (Short Message Services) • Emergency Calls • CELL Broadcast

  23. Fundamentals 960 MHz TS: Time slot 959.8MHz GSM utilizes two bands of 25 MHz. 890-915 MHz band is used for uplink while the 935-960 MHz is used for downlink. The frequency bands are divided into 200 KHz wide channels called ARFCNs (Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Numbers) i.e. there are 125 ARFCNs out of which only 124 are used. Each ARFCN supports 8 users with each user transmitting / receiving on a particular time slot (TS). DOWNLINK Downlink (TDMA frame) = 8 TS 200KHz 935.2 Mhz 935 MHz 915 MHz 914.8 MHz 45 MHz Delay 200KHz UPLINK Uplink (TDMA frame) 890.2 MHz 890 MHz Therefore 1 TDMA frame = 156.25 x 8 = 1250 bits and has a duration of 576.92s x 8 = 4.615 ms The technology

  38. Subscriber Identity -MSISDN • The MSISDN is a GSM directory number which uniquely identifies a mobile subscription in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). • Calls will be routed from the PSTN and other networks based on the Mobile Subscribers’ MSISDN number. • MSISDN= CC + NDC + SN • CC= Country Code (91) • NDC= National Destination Code(98370) • SN= Subscriber Number (12345)

  39. International Mobile Subscriber Identity [IMSI] • Subscriber always identified within the GSM network by the IMSI • This is used for all signaling in the PLMN stored in SIM and HLR/VLR • The IMSI consists of three different parts • MCC = Mobile Country Code(3 Digits) • MNC = Mobile Network Code(2 Digits) • MSIN = Mobile Station Identification Number(Upto 10 digits)

  40. Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity [TMSI] • The TMSI is used for the subscriber’s confidentiality. • It should be combined with the LAI to uniquely identify a MS. • Since the TMSI has only local significance (that is, within the MSC/VLR area), the structure may be chosen by each administration. • The TMSI should not consist of more than four octets.

  41. Mobile Station Roaming Number[MSRN] • HLR knows in what Service area the subscriber is located. • In order to provide a temporary number to be used for routing, the HLR requests the current MSC/VLR to allocate a Mobile Station Roaming Number(MSRN) to the called subscriber and to return it. • At reception of the MSRN, HLR sends it to the MSC, which now can route the call to the VLR where the called subscriber is currently registered.

  42. International Mobile Equipment Identity [IMEI] • The IMEI is used for equipment identification. An IMEI • uniquely identifies a mobile station as a piece or assembly of equipment. • IMEI = TAC + FAC + SNR + sp • TAC= Type Approval Code (6 digits),determined by GSM body • FAC= Final Assembly Code (2 digits), identifies themanufacturer • SNR= Serial Number (6 digits), uniquely identifying all equipment within each TAC and FAC • sp = Spare for future use (1 digit)

  43. Location Area Identity • LAI identifies a location area which is a group of cells.. • It is transmitted in the BCCH. • When the MS moves into another LA (detected by monitoring LAI transmitted on the BCCH) it must perform a LU. • LAI = MCC + MNC + LAC • MCC= Mobile Country Code(3 digits), identifies the country • MNC= Mobile Network Code(1-2 digits), identifies the GSM-PLMN • LAC= Location Area Code, identifies a location area within a GSM PLMN network. The maximum length of LAC is 16 bits,enabling 65536 different location areas to be defined in one GSM PLMN.

  45. Channels : differentiating between Physical and Logical channels Physical channels : The combination of an ARFCN and a time slot defines a physical channel. Logical channels : These are channels specified by GSM which are mapped on physical channels.

  46. Channel concept Physical channel: One timeslot of a TDMA-frame on one carrier is referred to as a physical channel. There are 8 physical channels per carrier in GSM,channel 0-7(timeslot 0-7) Logical channel: A great variety of information must be transmitted between BTS and the MS,for e.g. user data and control signaling.Depending on the kind of information transmitted we refer to different logical channels.These logical channels are mapped on physical channel.

  49. Broadcast channels BCH • Broadcast Channel-BCH • Alloted one ARFCN & is ON all the time in every cell. Present in TS0 and other 7 TS used by TCH. • Frequency correction channel-FCCH • To make sure this is the BCCH carrier. • Allow the MS to synchronize to the frequency. • Carries a 142 bit zero sequence and repeats once in every 10 frames on the BCH. • Synchronization Channel-SCH • This is used by the MS to synchronize to the TDMA frame structure within the particular cell. • Listening to the SCH the MS receives the TDMA frame number and also the BSIC ( in the coded part- 39 bits). • Repeats once in every 10 frames.
