Terminology

AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System): North American cellular phone standard, operates in 800 MHz and 900 MHz bands. About 85% of AMPS subscribers are in the U.S. GSM (Groupe Speciale Mobile): Digital cellular standard in Europe. DCS 1800 (Digital Communication Service): an extension of GSM standard, operates at 1800 MHz. DECT (Digital European Cordless Telecommunications): a cordless system supporting voice and data. NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephone): one of the first cellular systems, operates in 450 MHz and 900 MHz bands. Used in Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland). TACS (Total Access Communications System): derivative of AMPS developed in U.K. 91% of TACS subscribers come from Europe. TACS/NTT: Japanese digital transmission scheme, operates in 800 MHz and 1500 MHz bands; based on TDMA/FDD.

Second Generation GSM


Before GSM, European countries used different cellular standards throughout Europe. GSM is now the worlds most popular standard for 2nd generation wireless communications in the world. First introduced in 1991. Several non-European countries in South America, Asia, Australia adopted GSM. GSM uses removable Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) to store information of the subscribers identification information, network and countries where the subscriber is entitled to service, private keys.

Second Generation GSM


BTS: Provide the radio channel for signaling and user data traffic in this cell BSC: Control of BTSs; Frequency administration MSC : The major tasks of an MSC are routing incoming and outgoing calls and the assignment of user channels on the A-interface. HLR : An HLR can be regarded as a large database that administers the data of literally hundreds of thousands of subscribers. VLR : A VLR contains subscriber data, but only part of the data in the HLR and only while the particular subscriber roams in the area for which theVLR is responsible. ISC Connections to other mobile or international networks are mostly routed over the International Switching Center (ISC) of the respective country. OMCAdministration and commercial operation; Security management; Network configuration, performance management AUCConfidential data and keys are stored or generated in AUC EIRStores the serial numbers of the terminals

Second Generation GSM


GSM originally used two 25 MHz cellular bands. GSM uses FDD and a combination of TDMA and FHMA schemes to provide multiple access to mobile users. Forward and reverse frequency bands are divided into 200 kHz wide channels, called ARFCN (Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Numbers). Each channel is time shared between as many as 8 subscribers using TDMA. Guard band of 100 kHz at each end; total 125 channels (about 1000 users). ARFCN+TS constitutes physical channel. Data rate: 270.833 kbps per channel, 33.854 kbps per user Modulation: GMSK modulation with BT=0.3
