GSM
-
GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communication and is an open, digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice and data services.
-
The GSM emerged from the idea of cell-based mobile radio systems at Bell Laboratories in the early 1970s.
-
The GSM is the name of a standardization group established in 1982 to create a common European mobile telephone standard.
-
The GSM standard is the most widely accepted standard and is implemented globally.
-
The GSM is a circuit-switched system that divides each 200kHz channel into eight 25kHz time-slots. GSM operates in the 900MHz and 1.8GHz bands in Europe and the 1.9GHz and 850MHz bands in the US.
-
The GSM is owning a market share of more than 70 percent of the world's digital cellular subscribers.
Why GSM?
The GSM study group aimed to provide the followings through the GSM:
-
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. This is the area that is paged when a subscriber gets an incoming call. Each Location Area is assigned a Location Area Identity (LAI). Each Location Area is served by one or more BSCs.
