4. Problem Statement:
How to parameterize and generate single uplink GSM TDMA frames structures.

5. Solution:

The GSM standard specifies a TDMA frame as a combination of 8 time slots. Each time slot has
a duration of 3/5200 seconds (about 0.577 ms) and a time slot number (TN) from 0 to 7. GSM
frames use GMSK modulation, where one symbol is equivalent to one bit. Each time slot is
156.25 bits long. The content of a time slot is called a burst. The transmission timing of a burst
within a time slot is defined in terms of the bit number. The bit number (BN) refers to a
particular bit period within a time slot. The bit with the lowest bit number is transmitted first.
BN0 is the first bit period and BN156 is the last quarter-bit period. This figure shows time
frames, time slots, and bursts for a GSM system.

The GSM standard, [3], requires mobile stations to attenuate their transmission during the period
between bursts. The ramp-up and ramp-down of the signal power level occurs during the guard
periods. The useful part of a burst starts halfway through the bit number 0. The useful part ends
halfway through BN87 for ABs and BN147 for NBs, FBs, SBs, and dummy bursts. This figure
shows the useful and active parts of a burst.

  GsmWaveform = gsmFrame (gsmCfg) creates a GSM waveform with one TDMA frame
based on the input GSM configuration object. The encrypted bit field of the transmission
data bursts is filled with random data
 TDMA : Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a digital modulation technique used
in digital cellular telephone and mobile radio communication. TDMA is one of two ways
to divide the limited spectrum available over a radio frequency (RF) cellular channel .
 Frame Efficiency:

Frame efficiency = [1−Overhead bit Total bits]×100

SOFTWARE USED:

MATLAB:

MATLAB is an interactive programming environment for scientific computing. MATLAB is

heavily used in many technical fields for data analysis, problem solving, and for experimentation
and algorithm development. Discipline-specific software written in MATLAB, organized into
libraries of functions called toolboxes, is widely used as well. MATLAB has found extensive use
as the basis for computational laboratory work in technical education; more than 1000 textbooks
use MATLAB as a teaching vehicle. MATLAB is a product of The MathWorks of Natick,
Massachusetts, USA. There is general agreement in the technical computing community that the
main reasons for MATLAB's success are its intuitive, concise syntax, the use of complex
matrices as the default numeric data object, the power of the built-in operators, easily used
graphics, and its simple and friendly programming environment, allowing easy extension of the
language. To this one can add the reliability of the numerical methods on which the operators are
based. MATLAB combines a desktop environment tuned for iterative analysis and design
processes with a programming language that expresses matrix and array mathematics directly. It
includes the Live Editor for creating scripts that combine code, output, and formatted text an
executable notebook.

A TDMA contains eight time slots with each timeslot separated by a guard period. Each time slot
can carry only one type of burst. Available burst types are: normal burst (NB), frequency
correction burst (FB), synchronization burst (SB), access burst (AB), or dummy burst . The
different burst types and the guard period are described in these next sections.

The bit number (BN) refers to a particular bit period within a time slot. The bit with the lowest
bit number is transmitted first. BN0 is the first bit period and BN156 is the last quarter-bit
period. This figure shows time frames, time slots, and bursts for a GSM system.

Project Conclusion: -

In this project we learnt about Global System Mobile Communication using TDMA uplink frame
by using two burst point in the signal of the uplink frame. By seeing the waves in Amplitude and
Phase we can check the burst, and, in the spectrogram, we can check the power/frequency of
frames in dB/Hz.

Course Outcome:

Apply the principles of queuing\ theory for performance measurement of telecommunication

networks.
