with the advent of multimedia messaging services there is virtually no difference between OSI layer
for mobile communication and OSI layer for Data communication. All the layers namely
physical,datalink,network,transport,session,presen tation and application layers are present in
today's mobile communication
Previously Moble communication OSI layers are Radio Transmission subsystem (physical), Datalink
and network layer and all other higher layers are combiled into one single application layer.
For example in GSM
GSM Radio Transmission Subsystem (OSI Layer 1):
Frequency Spectrum Allocation (GSM)
Radio Channel Resource Sharing (TDMA and SFH)
TDMA Time Slots, Frames, Multiframes, Superframes, and Hyperframes
Channel Estimation and Preamble Sequences
Error Control Coding
Gaussian Minimum Shift-Keying (GMSK) Modulation
Speech Source Encoding
Security and Encryption
GSM Data Link Layer (OSI Layer 2):
Broadcast Channels and Common Control Channels
Dedicated Control Channels
Traffic Channels
GSM Network Layer (OSI Layer 3) :
GSM Network Sublayers and Message Structure
Radio Resource, Mobility, and Connection Management Sublayers
