20, 8, 5, 2, 0.8 Watt normally used are 8W for vehicular and 0.8W
for portable devices
Implementations
Newest devices are multi-mode which could handle both GSM and
UMTS (and several data standards like GPRS)

GSM the radio interface Um
Lets start with the physical layer of the beloved OSI model

Communication Systems
GSM Um: FDM & TDM
= 890 915MHz.
935 960MHz

Communication Systems
GSM Um: FDM & TDM
Through FDM/TDM
hybrid in GSM 992
channels available
In DCS1800 more
channels: 75MHz
band split into
200kHz channels
allows a total of 374
carriers
Thus 2992 physical
channels available in
E-GSM

GSM Um: fequency hopping
Not all channels in a given cell are of equal quality and multi path
reception / adjacent channels may disrupt communication
Thus frequency hopping is introduced

GSM the Um logical layer
The logical layer could be seen as the equivalent of OSI data link
layer
Here are the logical channels mapped into the physical ones
The traffic channels carry the user data (voice, SMS, fax, ...)
