AN INTRODUCTION TO GSM
Second Generation Cellular Mobile Radio
Systems-Digital Cellular Telephony:
Main Advantages of Digital Cellular Networks
Higher Spectrum Efficiency
Speech Encoding
Better Access Technologies: TDMA and CDMA
Higher System Capacity
Aggressive Frequency Reuse
Low Infra-Structure and Terminal Cost
Application of VLSI/VVLSI Chips
Many Traffic Channels per Carrier Channel [Transceivers are
shared among several users)
Low S/I Ratio (SIR) Allowing Smarter Equipment
Better Integration with Digital PSTN [ISDN]
New Services such as Data Communications, Fax, and SMS
Better Privacy due to Encryption
USA D-AMPS, D-AMPS 1900 TIA [IS-54B, IS-136] Digital AMPS works in 800 MHZ and 1900 MHz Bands
IS-95 CDMA TIA/QualComm[IS-95] Downward Compatible with AMPS, later modified to work with 1900 MHz Band
Japan PDC NTT Works both in 800 MHz and 1500 MHz
