2. Global System for Mobile Communications
GSM is a second-generation cellular telephone system
GSM uses TDMA.
Complete Channel can be used for one particular time slot
One frame consists of 8 time slots
Duration is 577Microsec = 576.9

3. Message bits – 57 +1 bits (1 bit identifies whether the data is
speech or not )
Tail – Used for the decoding process and these three bits are 0
Train – Channel equalization process
Guard – Time slot which prevents overlapping of data bursts

5. • Base Station Subsystem (BSS)
Provides and manages radio-frequency transmission paths between mobile
units and the mobile switching center (MSC).
manages the radio interface between mobile units and all other GSM
subsystems
Each BSS consists of many base station controllers (BSCs), which are used to
connect the MSC to the NSS
• Network Switching Subsystem (NSS)
Manages switching functions for the system and allows the MSCs to
communicate with other telephone networks, such as the public switched
telephone network and ISDN
• Operational Support Subsystem (OSS)
Supports operation and maintenance of the system and allows engineers to
monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot every aspect of the GSM network.

6. Basic parameters of GSM
1. GMSK modulation (Gaussian MSK)
2. 50-MHz bandwidth:
890-MHz to 915-MHz mobile transmit band (reverse channel)
935-MHz to 960-MHz base station transmit band (forward channel)
3. FDMA/TDMA accessing
4. Eight 25-kHz channels within each 200-kHz traffic channel
5. 200-kHz traffic channel
6. 992 full-duplex channels
7. Supplementary ISDN services, such as call diversion, closed user
groups, caller identification, and short messaging service (SMS),
which restricts GSM users and base stations to transmitting
alphanumeric pages limited to a maximum of 160 seven-bit ASCII
characters while simultaneously carrying normal voice messages.

7. Advantages
Low power consumption
Value added services like GPRS
Better quality
Roaming services are allowed
Easier to implement
Suitable for network with robust pitfall
Disadvantages
Charge for roaming is higher
Calls can be tampered
Maximum call size range is 35 km, that is very limited
UNIT V
MULTI-USER RADIO COMMUNICATION

8. CDMA
A unique code sequence is assigned for each user.
Information is transmitted (spread) over a very wide frequency spectrum-
Spread Spectrum Multiple Access
Access to the user is given randomly.
UNIT V
MULTI-USER RADIO COMMUNICATION

9. Advantages
Maximum Utilization of the channel
Synchronization is not necessary
Disadvantages
Data Collision
Protocols are to be implemented to avoid collision
Forward Channel :
The base station simultaneously transmits user data from all current mobile
units in that cell by using different spreading sequences for each user’s
transmissions.
Reverse Channel :
All mobile units respond in an asynchronous manner (i.e., no time or
duration limitations) with a constant signal level controlled by the base
station.

10. Frequency-hopping spread spectrum
• break a message into fixed-size blocks of data with each block transmitted
in sequence except on a different carrier frequency
• a pseudorandom code is used to generate a unique frequency-hopping
sequence
Direct-sequence spread spectrum
• a high-bit-rate pseudorandom code is added to a low-bit-rate information
signal to generate a high-bit-rate pseudorandom signal

12. Cellular Concept
• Each area is divided into hexagonal-shaped cells that fit together to form a
honeycomb pattern
• The physical size of a cell varies, depending on user density and calling
patterns.
• Macrocells, Microcells, Picocells
UNIT V
MULTI-USER RADIO COMMUNICATION

13. FREQUENCY REUSE
• Process in which the same set of frequencies (channels) can be allocated
to more than one cell, provided the cells are separated by sufficient
distance.
• properly separated
• F= GN or G = (1/N)F
• C=mGN or mF
• The factor N is called the cluster size and is typically equal to 3, 7, or 12.

15. Channel Assignment
Fixed Channel
Every cell has fixed number of voice channel
Borrowing cell
Dynamic Channel
No fixed channels
Channels are allocated based on real time data
Advantages
Increased Channel Utilization
Reduced Call blocking

Disadvantages
Storage medium is required
Computational load is higher

16. Handoff
No discontinuation when moving from one cell to other cell
Sufficient signal strength is required
Hard handoff - break before- make process
Soft handoff - A flawless handoff

military, governmental, private, and commercial subscribers
communications satellite is a microwave repeater in the sky
Transmissions to and from satellites are categorized as
either bus or payload.

18. KEPLER’S LAWS
govern satellite motion
describe the shape of the orbit, the velocities of the planet,
and the distance a planet is with respect to the sun
Kepler’s first law
satellite will orbit a primary body (like Earth) following an
elliptical path

19. Kepler’s second law
for equal intervals of time a satellite will sweep out equal areas in the
orbital plane, focused at the barycenter
UNIT V
MULTI-USER RADIO COMMUNICATION

20. Kepler’s Third Law
square of the periodic time of orbit is proportional to the cube of the mean
distance between the primary and the satellite. This mean distance is equal
to the semimajor axis;
α3=AP2
α=AP2/3
P is the ratio of the time of one sidereal day (23 hours and 56 minutes) to the
time of one revolution of Earth on its own axis (24 hours) = 0.9972
