Uplink
• the uplink (radio link from the mobile to the network-that is, mobile
transmit, base receive)
Downlink
• downlink (from the network to the mobile-that is, base transmit,
mobile receive) are transmitted on different frequency bands.
General Characteristics
• Currently, there are several types of networks in the world using the GSM standard, but at
different frequencies.
• The GSM-900 is the most common in Europe and the rest of the world. Its extension is E-GSM.
• The DCS-1800 operates in the 1,800-MHz band and is used mainly in Europe, usually to cover
urban areas. It was also introduced to avoid saturation problems with the GSM-900.
• The PCS-1900 is used primarily in North America.
• The GSM-850 is under development in America.
• The GSM-400 is intended for deployment in Scandinavian countries in the band previously used
for the analog Nordic Mobile Telephony (NMT) system.
• FDMA consists in dividing the frequency band of the system into several
channels. In GSM, each RF channel has a bandwidth of 200 kHz, which is
used to convey radio modulated signals, or carriers. Each pair of uplink/
downlink channels is called an absolute radio frequency channel (ARFC)
and is assigned an ARFC number (ARFCN
• TDMA is the division of the time into intervals: within a frequency channel,
the time is divided into time slots. This division allows several users (eight)
to be multiplexed on the same carrier frequency, each user being assigned
a single time slot. A packet of data information, called a burst, is
transmitted during a time slot. The succession of eight time slots is called a
TDMA frame, and each time slot belonging to a TDMA frame is identified
by a time slot number (TN), from 0 to 7.
GSM 900
• 124 channels
• 200 KHz USED FOR FDMA
• Channels 1 and 124nare not used for transmission
• 32 channels are reserved for organizational data
• 90 are used for customer
• 248 channels separated in time via GSM TDMA frame
• Duration frame 4.615 ms
• Each frame again subdivided into 8 GSM time slot
• Data is transmitted small portion , called bursts

GSM normal burst
• This GSM burst is used for the standard communications between the
base station and the mobile, and typically transfers the digitised voice
data.
• Data is transmitted small portion , called bursts.
• 1 bit flag: This bit within the GSM burst indicates the type of data in
the previous field.
• Guard space- To avoid overlapping with other bursts due to different
path delays.
• 3 tail bits: These tail bits at the start of the GSM burst give time for
the transmitter ,are all set to 0 and can be used to enhance the
receiver performance.
• 57 data bits: This block of data is used to carry information, and
most often contains the digitized voice data
• 26 bits training sequence: -
• This training sequence is used as a timing reference and for
equalization.
• Used to adapt the parameter of receiver to the current path
propagation .
• Select strongest signal in case of multipath propagation
• 1 bit flag S- indicates the type of data in the data field.
