What is GSM??
(Global System for Mobile Communications)
GSM Architecture
Three broad parts
Mobile Station (MS): carried by the subscriber
Base Station Subsystem: control radio link with MS
Network Subsystem: its main part is MSC
Interfaces:
Um Interface : known as air interface or radio link.
Abis Interface: between BTS and BSC
A Interface: between BSC and MSC
Mobile Station
ME(mobile equipment)
the terminal
Network Subsystem
MSC (Mobile Services Switching Center)
acts like a normal switching node of the
PSTN or ISDN
provides the connection to the fixed
networks (such as the PSTN or ISDN).
GSM Features
Multiple access: use TDMA/FDMA to share the
limited radio spectrum
The FDMA part involves the division by frequency of
the (maximum) 25 MHz bandwidth into 124 carrier
frequencies spaced 200 kHz apart.
Each of these carrier frequencies is then divided in
time, using a TDMA scheme.
GPRS System
(General Packet Radio Service)
GPRS Architecture
Introduce two new nodes into GSM network
SGSN (the Serving GPRS Support Node):
Keep track of the location of the mobile within its service
area and send/receive packets from the mobile , passing
them on, or receiving them from the GGSN
GPRS Features
Log on to GPRS
A GPRS-capable terminal communicates with GSM
base Stations, but unlike circuit-switched data calls
which connects to MSC, GPRS packets are sent sent
from the base station to SGSN, SGSN communicates
with GGSN.
Establishes a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) which is
logical connection between the mobile and GGSN
now visible to the outside fixed networks
Packed based
No dial-up, just as with a LAN connection.
No delay for sending data
GPRS Phrase
Phrase 1
expectedly to be available commercially in 2001, Point
to point GPRS will be supported
Phrase 2
net yet fully defined, but is expected to higher data
rates through possible incorporation of techniques
such as EDGE, in addition to Point-to-Multipoint
support.
EDGE
(Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution)
EDGE Features
Introduce new methods at the physical layer
new form of modulation: 8PSK(phrase Shift Keying)
introduced as a complement to GMSK (Gaussian Filter Minimum
Shift Keying)
Cdma 2000
based on the cdma One standard, two air
modes:
one based on the parallel use of 3 contiguous
cdmaOne carriers (multi-carrier approach),
the other one on the use of the corresponding 3
carriers width spreading (direct spread approach)
