GSM

1. GSM working on three bands are

900
MHz
1800 MHz
1900 MHz PCS USA
2. Uplink frequency
890 915 MHz
Down frequency
935 - 960 MHz
3.Mulitiple access techniques used in GSM are
FDMA
TDMA
4. Data Frequency Used in GSM
25 MHz
5.Toatal Carriers Used in GSM
125 Carriers
6.Each Carrier Frequency in GSM
200KHz
7.Each Carrier data rate
270.8 Kbps
9.Modulation used in GSM
GMSK (Gaussian Mean Shift Key)
10. Out of 125 carrier only one carrier called ARFCN and it is not used. Rest of the
carriers are used .
11. 124 Carriers are divided to 4 GSM operators 124/4 = 31 carriers per GSM operator.
12.Bursting is the periodical switching.
13. GSM using same set of frequency between 2 cell areas.
14. Any mobile phone served by a cell area called mobile phone.
15. Cell pattern is a Group of cells
16.Cell pattern used in GSM
4 cell pattern
7 cell pattern
12 cell pattern
17. BSNL follows 7 cell pattern.
18. Group of cell is called cluster.
19.We must maintain co channel distance.
20.Carrier separation frequency 0.2MHz
21.

CLUSTER
CELL
22.PLMN Public land mobile net work.

23. Inter faces used in GSM architecture

MS BTS
Um Universal media inter face or Air interface
BTS BSC A bis
BSC MSC A
MSC VLR B
MSC HLR C
HLR VLR D
VLR AUC F
MSC PSTN ISDN, SMSC, GMSC, MMSC, VMSC are E interface.
24. Functions of a ME are
1.Digitizing
2.Encoding
3.Encrypting
4.Decrypting
5.Error protection ,Error diction & error correction
6.Modulating
7. Handle 6 BTSs simultaneously & process nearest BTS.
8. Handle messages
9. Location updation
10. Analysis the dedicated channel
25. A Mobile set has Mobile Equip & SIM
ME has IMEI no.
SIM has IMSI no.
IMEI has 15 Digit No.
IMSI has 15 Digit No with 3 MCC 2 MNC 10 MSISDN

29.SFH Slow frequency hopping is the 217 hops/sec changing of the frequency of XN.
30.Functions of BTS?
1.Preform TransRecive functions.
2.Encrypting & decrypting with BSC
3. TransRecivrs allow several frequencies and different sectors.
4.Interface with BSC by BSF (base station control function o&m)
5.Manages operation status of TX. Software handling and alarm collection.
6.Mdulate Layer 1 Um for GMSK or 8PSK

33.BSC functions.
1.BSC contain allocation of Radio channels
2.Recives measurements from MS
3.BTS to BTS Hand over
4.BTS acts as a concentrator Between BTS to MSC ie low capacity
connection 16Kbps to smaller no of connection 64 Kbps High level utilization .
5. Acts as a performance measuring centre.
34. BSC database contains
1.Information of all sites
2.RRM radio resource management
3.Frequency hopping list.
4.Reciving level for call border calculation.
35.Trns coder Unit covert the voice cnannel coding between GSM {RPE-LTP 13kbps ) to
CCITT Standard 64 kbps voice into 20ms Blocks
36 MSC perfom voice data fax sms & call divert and it is a sophisticated circuit
switching Centre
37. GMSC MSC with HLR connected to PSDN, PSTn, ISDN, IN etc
