This document discusses the key elements of digital mobile communication systems like GSM. It describes the end-to-end transmission chain including speech encoding, channel encoding, interleaving, burst assembly, ciphering, modulation, and the reception chain in reverse order. It also covers predictive coding, discontinuous transmission, channel coding, interleaving techniques, security aspects like authentication and ciphering, and Gaussian minimum shift keying modulation used in GSM.

4. • speech coding must give :
1. Low bit rate
2. Preserving the essential elements of speech quality
3. An acceptable cost of the equipment
- GSM sends information about speech not the speech itself

6. A/D is performed by PCM.
PCM involves 4 steps:
1- Bandlimiting 2- Sampling
3- Quantizing 4- Encoding

12. • Predictive coding
1. We send information about noise not the voice itself
(pitch, tone,….etc)
2. Less power and less co-channel interference

15. • Channel coding
o Mobile channel is error-prone.
o Compressed speech is sensitive to errors.
o Error correction is necessary.
o Channel coding adds extra bits to help in
error correction.
o GSM uses:
1. Block code
2. Convolutional code

29. • Modulation
1. High bandwidth efficiency i.e. high bit rate per Hz
2. Low power drain
3. Good BER performance
4. Low implementation cost
• GMSK is the modulation scheme of the GSM system
