    GSM and TDMA are digital cellular technologies. GSM uses TDMA, which divides each radio frequency channel into time slots, allowing multiple users to access the channel simultaneously. GSM operates using narrowband TDMA in the 900MHz and 1800MHz bands in most areas. It has become the global standard for digital wireless communications due to features like international roaming and support for voice and data services.

    Introduction to GSM and TDMA


    • GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communication. It is
    a digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice
    and data services.
    • The concept of GSM emerged from a cell-based mobile radio
    system at Bell Laboratories in the early 1970s.
    • GSM is the name of a standardization group established in 1982
    to create a common European mobile telephone standard.
    • GSM is the most widely accepted standard in
    telecommunications and it is implemented globally.
    • GSM is a circuit-switched system that divides each 200 kHz
    channel into eight 25 kHz time-slots. GSM operates on the
    mobile communication bands 900 MHz and 1800 MHz in most
    parts of the world. In the US, GSM operates in the bands 850
    MHz and 1900 MHz.
    • GSM owns a market share of more than 70 percent of the world's
    digital cellular subscribers.
    • GSM makes use of narrowband Time Division Multiple Access
    (TDMA) technique for transmitting signals.
    • GSM was developed using digital technology. It has an ability to
    carry 64 kbps to 120 Mbps of data rates.
    • Presently GSM supports more than one billion mobile
    subscribers in more than 210 countries throughout the world.
    • GSM provides basic to advanced voice and data services
    including roaming service. Roaming is the ability to use your
    GSM phone number in another GSM network.
    Why GSM?

    • Listed below are the features of GSM that account for its
    popularity and wide acceptance.
    • Improved spectrum efficiency
    • International roaming
    • Low-cost mobile sets and base stations (BSs)
    • High-quality speech
    • Compatibility with Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
    and other telephone company services
    • Support for new services
    GSM network areas
    In a GSM network, the following areas are defined:
    • Cell : Cell is the basic service area; one BTS covers one cell.
    Each cell is given a Cell Global Identity (CGI), a number that
    uniquely identifies the cell.
    • Location Area : A group of cells form a Location Area (LA).
    This is the area that is paged when a subscriber gets an incoming
    call. Each LA is assigned a Location Area Identity (LAI). Each
    LA is served by one or more BSCs.
    • MSC/VLR Service Area : The area covered by one MSC is
    called the MSC/VLR service area.
    • PLMN : The area covered by one network operator is called the
    Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). A PLMN can contain one
    or more MSCs.
    GSM Services
    • The first-generation analog cellular systems were designed for
    basic voice service.
    • The second-generation GSM cellular system was designed to be
    an integrated wireless voice-data service network that offered
    several other services beyond just voice telephone service.
    • The type of services to be offered over the GSM network were
    classified into three categories
    – Teleservices provide standard voice communication between two
    end users and additional communications between two end user
    applications according to some standard protocol.
    – Bearer services provide the user with the ability to transmit data
    between user network interfaces.
    – Supplementary services are services that enhance or support a
    teleservice provided by the network.
    TDMA

    • Time Division Multiple Access


    • Each channel is divided into timeslots, each conversation uses
    one timeslot.
    • Many conversations are multiplexed into a single channel.
    • Used in GSM
    • GSM uses TDMA and FDMA to let everybody talk.
    • FDMA: 25MHz freq. is divided into 124 carrier frequencies.
    Each base station gets few of those.
    • TDMA: Each carrier frequency is divided into bursts [0.577 ms].
    8 bursts are a frame.
