    GSM stands for Global Services for Mobile communication' and is an open,

    digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice and data

    services. GSM supports voice calls and data transfer speeds of up to 9.6 kbit/s,

    together with the transmission of SMS (Short Message Service).

    This technology is globally accepted and most popular among all countries. It

    is started in Europe to integrate all countries with wireless communication.

    Earlier each country in Europe has its own standard for wireless

    communication ,so due to this a person cannot use the same mobile in two

    different country and cannot even communicate with the same mobile in

    different countries, so due to this fragmentation problem occurred. So to

    overcome this problem European Union (EU) came with GSM technology that

    is accepted by whole continent and standardized by ITU-T. It is a 2 G

    technology and worlds first cellular technology and it is most popular 2G

    technology. Today GSM operator has largest customer base. In India totalcellular operator have more than 550 million customers and GSM has more

    than 400 million customer bases alone. It is a second generation cellular

    standard developed to cater voice services and data delivery using digital

    modulation.

    Objectives of GSM

    14 Ganpati Institute of Technology & Management, (2012-2013)

  • 7/29/2019 36886874 Training Report on Gsm

    15/49

    To eliminate the fragmentation problem in European Union.

    To allow interaction with ISDN and PSTN.

    The Goals of GSM

    Improved spectrum efficiency

    International roaming

    Low-cost mobile sets and base stations

    High-quality speech

    Compatibility with ISDN and other telephone

    Company services.

    Support for new services

    Specifications and Characteristics for GSM:

    Frequency band the frequency range specified for GSM is 1,850 to

    1,990 MHz (mobile station to base station).

    Duplex distance the duplex distance is 80 MHz. Duplex distance is the

    distance between the uplink and downlink frequencies. A channel has

    two frequencies, 80 MHz apart.

    Channel separation the separation between adjacent carrier

    frequencies. In GSM, this is 200 kHz.

  • 7/29/2019 36886874 Training Report on Gsm

    16/49

    Modulation Modulation is the process of sending a signal by changing

    the characteristics of a carrier frequency. This is done in GSM via

    Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK).

    Transmission rate GSM is a digital system with an over-the-air bit rate

    of 270 kbps.

    Access method GSM utilizes the time division multiple access

    (TDMA) concept. TDMA is a technique in which several different calls

    may share the same carrier. Each call is assigned a particular time slot.

    Speech coder GSM uses linear predictive coding (LPC). The purpose

    of LPC is to reduce the bit rate. The LPC provides parameters for a filter

    that mimics the vocal tract.

    DESCRIPTION

    The basic architecture of the GSM is described in the figure below:

    The abbreviations used in the figure above are described herein under:

    HLR- Home Location Register:

    HLR is database, which holds very important information of subscribers. It is

    mostly known for storing and managing information of subscribers. It contains

    subscriber service profile, status of activities, information about locations and

    permanent data of all sorts. When new connections are purchased, these

    subscribers are registered in HLR of mobile phone companies.

    20/49

    MS-Mobile station:

    It consists of mobile equipment and SIM. At the time of manufacturing, an

    international mobile equipment number (IMEI) is programmed in ME.A SIMis required to activate the GSM services. A international mobile subscriber

    identification (IMEI) number is programmed along with security parameter

    and algorithm. The called number is not linked to ME but to SIM.A SIM has

    following data stored in it. MSISDN (mobile subscriber isdn) IMSI

    (international mobile subscriber identity) - 15 digit number. TMSI (temporary

    mobile subscriber identity) 4 octets, allocated by VLR, continuously

    changed.IMEI (international mobile equipment identity) unique, permanently

    assigned to MS.

    22/49

    VLR- Visitor Location Register:

    VLR performs very dynamic tasks; it is database which stores temporary data

    regarding subscribers which is needed by Mobile Services Switching Center-MSC VLR is directly connected to MSC, when subscribe moves to different

    MSC location, Visitor location register VLR integrates to MSC of current

    location and requests the data about subscriber or Mobile station (MS) from

    the Home Location Register HLR. When subscriber makes a call the Visitor

    location register-VLR will have required information for making call already

    and it will not required to connect to Home Register Location - HRL again.

    BSS-The Base Station System:

    The base station system have very important role in mobile communication.

    BSS are basically outdoor units which consist of iron rods and are usually of

    high length. BSS are responsible for connecting subscribers (MS) to mobile

    networks. All the communication is made in Radio transmission. The Base

    station System is further divided in two systems. These two systems, they are

    BSC, and BTS.

    23/49

    BTS The Base Transceiver Station:

    Subscriber, MS (Mobile Station) or mobile phone connects to mobile network

    through BTS; it handles communication using radio transmission with mobilestation. As name suggests, Base transceiver Station is the radio equipment

    which receive and transmit voice data at the same time. BSC control group of

    BTSs.

    BASE TRANSIEVER STATION (BTS)

  • 7/29/2019 36886874 Training Report on Gsm

    24/49

    BSC The Base Station Controller:

    The Base Station normally controls many cells; it registers subscribers,

    responsible for MS handovers etc. It creates physical link between subscriber

    (MS) and BTS, then manage and controls functions of it. It performs the

    function of high quality switch by handover over the MS to next BSC when

    MS goes out of the current range of BTS, it helps in connecting to next in

    range BTS to keep the connection alive within the network. It also performs

    functions like cell configuration data, control radio frequency in BTS.

  • 7/29/2019 36886874 Training Report on Gsm

    25/49

    SIM-Subscriber Identity Module:

    One of the key features of GSM is theSubscriber Identity Module, commonly

    known as a SIM card. The SIM is a detachablesmart card containing the user's

    subscription information and phone book. This allows the user to retain his or

    her information after switching handsets. Alternatively, the user can also

    change operators while retaining the handset simply by changing the SIM.

    OSS -The Operation and Support System:

    OMC- Operations and maintenance center is designed to connect to equipment

    of MSC- Mobile Switching Center and BSC-Base Station Controller. The

    implementation of OMC is called OSS-The Operations and Support

    System.OSS helps in mobile networks to monitor and control the complex

    systems. The basic reason for developing operation and support system is to

    provide customers a cost effective support and solutions. It helps in managing,

    centralizing, local and regional operational activities required for GMS

    networks.

    Authentication & Encryption:

    Authentication: - Whenever a MS requests access to a network, the network

    must authenticate the MS. Authentication verifies the identity and validity of

    the SIM card to the network and ensures that the subscriber is authorized

    access to the network.

    Kc:- The Kc is the 64-bit ciphering key that is used in the A5 encryption

    algorithm to encipher and decipher the data that is being transmitted on the

    Um interface.

    A5:- The A5 encryption algorithm is used to encipher and decipher the data

    that is being transmitted on the Um interface. The Kc and the plaintext data are

    inputted into the A5 algorithm and the output is enciphered data. The A5

    algorithm is a function of the Mobile Equipment (ME) and not a function of

    the SIM card. The BTS also makes use of the A5 algorithm.

    There are three versions of the A5 algorithm:

    A5/1:- The current standard for U.S. and European networks. A5/1 is a stream

    cipher.

    A5/2:- The deliberately weakened version of A5/1 that is intended for export

    to non-western countries. A5/2 is a stream cipher.

    A5/3:- A newly developed algorithm not yet in full use. A5/3 is a block

    cipher.

    Triplets: - The RAND, SRES, and Kc together are known as the Triplets. The

    AuC will send these three crypto variables to the requesting MSC/VLR so it

    can authenticate and encipher.

    These channels are bi directional & have the same format & function on

    both forward & reverse link.

    They may exist in any time slot & on any ARFCN except TS 0.

    a) Stand Alone Dedicated Control Channel [SDCCH].

    b) Slow Associated Control Channel [SACCH].

    c) Fast Associated Control Channel [FACCH].

    a) Stand Alone Dedicated Control Channel [SDCCH]:

    It is used to send authentication and alert messages as the mobile

    synchronizes itself with the frame structure and waits for TCH.

    It is used for location updating.

    b)Slow associated Control Channel [SACCH]:

    It is always associated with a TCH or a SDCCH & maps onto the same

    physical channel.

    On the forward link it is used to send changing control information to

    the mobile, such as transmit power level instructions.

    The reverse SACCH carries information about the received signal

    strengths, quality of TCH & BCH measurement results from neighboring

    cells.

    c) Fast Associated Control Channel [FACCH]:

    It is assigned whenever a SDCCH has not been dedicated for a

    particular user and there is a urgent message to be conveyed.

    It is assigned only to a traffic channel & relies on frame stealing to gain

    access to the traffic channel.

    Value added services

    Call waiting:

    With Call Waiting on a Hutch phone, you can receive and hold an incoming

    call when you are already talking to another person. When this service is

    activated, the network notifies you of a new incoming call while you have a

    call in progress, which means that if another person tries calling you midway

    through a conversation, he/she will hear a message informing him/her that

    your line is busy, while you will hear beeps at intervals.

    Call Divert:

    In case you are busy in a meeting, or if your cell phone is switched off, you

    can forward incoming calls to a landline or another mobile phone - where

    someone can receive messages on your behalf. You can also forward an

    incoming call while speaking to someone.

    Voice response services:

    By using these services one can access information, download ringtones and

    logos, and more. For this one has to just dial and speak on a no. for the desired

    service. With Hutch World, one can enjoy a host of GPRS-based services

    exclusively on Hutch GPRS phone. From astrology to photo messaging,

    gaming, chat, news and even internet access.

    Mail:

    One can now send an SMS - without even using a mobile phone, from

    wherever they are. All they need to do is type in their message and send it as e-

    mail.

    Roaming:

    Roaming is defined as the ability for a cellular customer to automatically make

    & receive voice calls, send & receive data, or access other services when

    traveling outside the geographical coverage area of the home network, by

    means of using a visited network.

    If the visited network is in the same country as the home network, this is

    known as National Roaming. If the visited network is outside the home

    country, this is known as International Roaming (the term Global Roaming has

    also been used).

    If the visited network operates on a different technical standard than the home

    network, this is known as Inter-standard roaming.

    GSM Roaming, which involves roaming between GSM networks, offers the

    convenience of a single number, a single bill and a single phone with

    worldwide access to over 205 countries. The convenience of GSM Roaming

    has been a key driver behind the global success of the GSM Platform.

    Mobile subscriber identities in GSM

    International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI):

    An IMSI is assigned to each authorized GSM user. It consists of a mobilecountry code (MCC), mobile network code (MNC) (to identify the PLMN),

    and a PLMN unique mobile subscriber identification number (MSIN). The

    IMSI is the only absolute identity that a subscriber has within the GSM

    system. The IMSI consists of the MCC followed by the MNC and MSIN and

    shall not exceed 15 digits.

  • 7/29/2019 36886874 Training Report on Gsm

    35/49

    Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI)

    A TMSI is a MSC-VLR specific alias that is designed to maintain user

    confidentiality. It is assigned only after successful subscriber authentication.

    The correlation of a TMSI to an IMSI only occurs during a mobile subscribers

    initial transaction with an MSC (for example, location updating). Under certain

    condition (such as traffic system disruption and malfunctioning of the system),

    the MSC can direct individual TMSIs to provide the MSC with their IMSI.

    Mobile Station ISDN Number:

    The MS international number must be dialed after the international prefix in

    order to obtain a mobile subscriber in another country. The MSISDN numbers

    is composed of the country code (CC) followed by the National Destination

    Code (NDC), Subscriber Number (SN), which shall not exceed 15 digits. Here

    too the first two digits of the SN identify the HLR where the mobile subscriber

    is administrated.

    The Mobile Station Roaming Number (MSRN):

    The MSRN is allocated on temporary basis when the MS roams into another

    numbering area. The MSRN number is used by the HLR for rerouting calls to

    the MS. It is assigned upon demand by the HLR on a per-call basis. The

    MSRN for PSTN/ISDN routing shall have the same structure as international

    ISDN numbers in the area in which the MSRN is allocated. The HLR knows in

    what MSC/VLR service area the subscriber is located. At the reception of the

    MSRN, HLR sends it to the GMSC, which can now route the call to the

    MSC/VLR exchange where the called subscriber is currently registered.

    International Mobile Equipment Identity:

    The IMEI is the unique identity of the equipment used by a subscriber by each

    PLMN and is used to determine authorized (white), unauthorized (black), and

    malfunctioning (gray) GSM hardware. In conjunction with the IMSI, it is used

    to ensure that only authorized users are granted access to the system.

    Subscriber Authentication Key (Ki):

    It is used to authenticate the SIM card.

    Pin Unblocking Key (PUK)

    In case of PIN, the PUK is needed for unlocking the SIM again. PUK is

    numeric only, with eight digits. If a correct PUK is entered, an indication is

    given to the user. After 10 consecutive incorrect entries the SIM is blocked.

    Either the IMSI or the MSISDN Number may access the subscriber data. Some

    of the parameters like IAI will be continuously updated to reflect the current

    location of the subscriber. The SIM is capable of storing additional

    information such as accumulated call charges. This information will be

    accessible to the customer via handset key entry.

    Personal Identity Number (PIN)

    It is used to unlock the MS. If one enters the wrong PIN three times it will lock

    the SIM. The SIM can be protected by use of PIN password.

    There are three different frequency bands on which mobile phones are usually

    operates and these are Dual Band, Tri-Band and Quad Band.

    Dual Band : Dual frequency band operates on 900MHz and 1800 MHz,

    that means mobile phone that supports dual band can be operated

    anywhere in the world where 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies are

    used. Dual Band GSM networks usually found in all continents Europe,

    Asia, Africa, Australia and South America.

    Tri-Band: three frequencies are supported in Tri Band, these

    frequencies are 900 MHz, 1800MHz and 1900 MHz Tri band is also

    supported all around the world these days.

    Quad-Band: Quad Band supports four frequencies which are 850 MHz,

    900 MHz, 1800 MHz , 1900 MHz Quad band also enables GSM phones

    to road almost anywhere in the world. All countries support GSM

    networks hence make communication possible.

    Handover:

    Handover, or handoff as it is called in North America, is the switching of an

    ongoing call to a different channel or cell. There are four different types of

    handover in the GSM system, which involve transferring a call between

    Channels (time slots) in the same cell,

    Cells (Base Transceiver Stations) under the control of the same Base

    Station Controller (BSC),

    Cells under the control of different BSCs, but belonging to the same

    Mobile services Switching Center (MSC), and

    Cells under the control of different MSCs.

    The first two types of handover, called internal handovers, involve only one

    Base Station Controller (BSC). To save signaling bandwidth, they are

    managed by the BSC without involving the Mobile service Switching Center

    (MSC), except to notify it at the completion of the handover. The last two

    types of handover, called external handovers, are handled by the MSCs

    involved. Note that call control, such as provision of supplementary services

    and requests for further handoffs, is handled by the original MSC.

    Handovers can be initiated by either the mobile or the MSC (as a means of

    traffic load balancing). During its idle time slots, the mobile scans the

    Broadcast Control Channel of up to 16 neighboring cells, and forms a list of

    the six best candidates for possible handover, based on the received signal

    strength. This information is passed to the BSC and MSC, and is used by the

    handover algorithm.

    The algorithm for when a handover decision should be taken is not specified in

    the GSM recommendations. There are two basic algorithms used, both closely

    tied in with power control. This is because the BSC usually does not know

    whether the poor signal quality is due to multipath fading or to the mobile

    having moved to another cell. This is especially true in small urban cells.

    The 'minimum acceptable performance' algorithm [Bal91] gives precedence to

    power control over handover, so that when the signal degrades beyond a

    certain point, the power level of the mobile is increased. If further power

    increases do not improve the signal, then a handover is considered. This is the

    simpler and more common method, but it creates 'smeared' cell boundaries

    when a mobile transmitting at peak power goes some distance beyond its

    original cell boundaries into another cell.

    Key Features

    SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)

    It is a memory device which is used to store the information of user such as

    user privacy number, 4 digit PIN number, subscriber identification number and

    user information. Called number is not associated with mobile station but to

    SIM.

    Increased Capacity

    It provides better channel capacity than analog system. It provides 25KHZ per

    user, that means eight conversation per 200KHZ channel pair(a channel pair

    consists of a forward channel and a reverse channel). Channel coding and

    modulation provided to enhance the channel capacity and from this 12 DB is

    achieved as a channel to interference ratio(C/I ration), as compare to 18db of

    analog system.

    Frequency Hopping

    It is a feature of GSM system in which frequency in a single channel

    continuously hops and resultant provides a better coverage to a specific area.

    Mobile Assisted Handover (MAHO)

    GSM uses Mobile assisted handover technique. The mobile itself carries out

    the signal strength and quality measurement of its server and signal strength

    measurement of its neighbors. This data is passed on the Network which then

    uses sophisticated algorithms to determine the need of handover.

    Discontinuous Transmission

    In this GSM has a advantage of preventing system from interference and noise

    by offsetting the silent time between the conversation and by blocking the

    undesired signals.

    Support of Short Service Message (SMS)

    GSM has a advantage of short service messages assisted by paging channel of

    system.

    Frequency Reuse

    GSM has a advantage of frequency reuse pattern from which same frequency

    can be used in different cells. Normally 124 carriers are provided by the GSM

    system and if we multiply it with the 7 time slots used for traffic than we get

    868 numbers of calls can be made and that is very less in number. so to

    overcome this problem same RF carrier is used for several conversation in

    different cells and for this there is regular pattern is defined. The pattern to be

    used depends on the traffic requirement and spectrum availability. Some

    typical patter are 4/12 , 7/21 etc.

    other parts of the world. Different frequency bands are used by different

    mobile phone operators.

    Moreover, there are over 700 GSM networks available in the world operating

    in their respective countries and providing international roaming services

    courtesy GSM technology. There are over 2 billion GSM subscribers in the

    world. Countries which are using GSM networks on larger scales are Russia,

    china Pakistan, United States, India.

    Giver the above facts and very good voice quality, support useful services and

    standards, delivered by GSM, it is expected that GSM shall remain the

    prominent technology for offering the mobile telephony.
