GSM - Introduction
Cellular Network Base stations transmit to and receive from mobiles at the assigned spectrum Multiple base stations use the same spectrum (spectral reuse) The service area of each base station is called a cell Each mobile terminal is typically served by the closest base stations Handoff when terminals move
Cellular Network Generations It is useful to think of cellular Network/telephony in terms of generations: 0G: Briefcase-size mobile radio telephones 1G: Analog cellular telephony 2G: Digital cellular telephony 3G: High-speeddigital cellular telephony (including video telephony) 4G: IP-based anytime, anywhere voice, data, and multimedia telephony at fasterdata rates than 3G (to be deployed in 2012 2015)
GSM Services Voice, 3.1 khz Short Message Service (SMS) 1985 GSM standard that allows messages of at most 160 chars. (incl. spaces) to be sent between handsets and other stations Over 2.4 billion people use it; multi-billion $ industry General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) GSM upgrade that provides IP-based packet data transmission up to 114 kbps Users can simultaneously make calls and send data GPRS provides always on Internet access and the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) whereby users can send rich text, audio, video messages to each other Performance degrades as number of users increase GPRS is an example of 2.5G telephony 2G service similar to 3G
Data transfer in GSM The "data over cellular" bearer services are part of the Phase 2 implementation of GSM Thebasicdata transfer technologyiscalledcsd (Circuit Switched Data) A GSM network s data transfer facility allows the digital equivalent of modem transmissions -known as data streaming -at data speeds of up to 9,600 bits per second ingsm900 and14,400 bitsper secondin GSM1800 networks
GSM frequency slots
GSM Frequencies Originally designed on 900MHz range, now also available on 800MHz, 1800MHz and 1900 MHz ranges. Separate Uplink and Downlink frequencies One example channel on the 1800 MHz frequency band, where RF carriers are space every 200 MHz UPLINK FREQUENCIES DOWNLINK FREQUENCIES 1710 MHz 1785 MHz 1805 MHz 1880 MHz UPLINK AND DOWNLINK FREQUENCY SEPARATED BY 95MHZ

GSM 2.5G+ standards
HSCSD High-speed circuit-switched data (HSCSD), is an enhancement to circuit switched data (CSD), with data rates up to 57.6kbit/s Channel allocation is done in circuit-switched mode, as with CSD Higher speeds are achieved as a result of superior coding methods, and the ability to use multiple time slots to increase data throughput(upto 4 slots)
HSCSD Pro: Flexible bearer service (BS) for higher data rates up to 57.6kb/s(1800MHz) or 38.4kb/s (900MHz) Transparent and non-transparent bearer services Rate adaptation for several standard interfaces incl. X.30/V.110, V.24, etc.
HSCSD Cons Circuit-switched access, which is often inefficient for dataservices that are burstyin nature Higher call blocking probability due to multi-slot allocation Possible high cost of service as it competes with voice service for the same resources
