GSM Seminar

This document provides an overview of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). It discusses the history, architecture, specifications, services, advantages, and applications of GSM. GSM was developed in 1989 as the second generation cellular standard to provide a uniform international standard for wireless communication. It uses Time Division Multiple Access and digital modulation with a transmission speed of 270kbps. The core network architecture of GSM consists of the base station subsystem and the network switching subsystem.

INTRODUCTION

• GSM is a Digital Cellular Communication System


• It is a second generation cellular standard
• It uses TDMA & digital modulation
• It's transmission speed is 270kbps
HISTORY

• 1989:- It was developed by "European telecomm


unication standards institute"
• 1991:-The GSM was first introduced in European
market
• The main goal was to provide a uniform internati
onal standard for wireless mobile communication
SERVICES

• Tele services
• Bearer/data services
• Supplementary services
ARCHITECTURE
MOBILE STATION
• Mobile station acts as a major role in GSM syste
m
• Mobile station=ME+SIM
ME -Mobile Equipment
SIM- Subscribe Identity Module
Mobile Equipment(ME):
• Mobile Equipment is nothing but mobile Phone
• It consists of transceiver, display,processor & anten
na
Subscriber Identity Module(SIM):
• One of the key feature of GSM is the subscriber Ide
ntity module, commonly known as a SIM card
BASE STATION SUBSYSTEM
• It consists of two parts
1) Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
2)Base Station Controller(BSC)
Base Transceiver Station(BTS):
• The BTS contains the RF components that provides the
air interface for a particular cell
• It communicates with mobile station and BSC
Base station controller(BSC):
• It control single or multiple BTS
• It communicates directly with the MSC
• It provides the control for the BSS
NETWORK SWITCHING
SUBSYSTEM
• It consists of five parts
1) Mobile Switching Center(MSC)
2)Home Location Register(HLR)
3) Visitor Location Register(VLR)
4) Equipment Identity Register(EIR)
5)Authentication Register(AuR)
Mobile Switching Center (MSC):
• MSC is the centerpiece of a NSS
• It is mostly associated with communications switchi
ng functions such as call set-up, release & routing
Home Location Register (HLR):
• HLR stores data belongs a large number of subscrib
ers
• Such as subscribe address, service type, current loc
ation, forwarding address, authentication & billing
Visitor location register (VLR):
• VLR is similar to HLR
• But it stores dynamic information regarding the sub
scriber data
Equipment Identity Register (EIR):
• Stores all devices identifications registered for this
network
• Database that is used to track handset using the IM
EI(International Mobile Equipment Identity)
Authentication register(AuR):
• It is associated with HLR
• It is used for security purposes
• It provides authentication & encryption parameters
for verification of subscriber Identity
• It ensures confidentiality of each cell
GSM SPECIFICATIONS
• GSM 900:
Mobile to BTS(uplink):890-915MHZ
BTS to mobile (downlink):935-960MHZ
Bandwidth:2*25MHZ
• GSM 1800:
Mobile to BTS(uplink):1710-1785MHZ
BTS to mobile (downlink):1805-1880MHZ
Bandwidth:2*75MHZ
CHARACTERISTICS

• Fully digital system


• Compatibility with ISDN
• Full international roaming capability
• Support of short message service (SMS)
• Low speed data services (upto 9.6kbps)
ADVANTAGES

• International roaming
• Better quality of speech
• Large market
• Longer battery life
• Efficient use of spectrum
DISADVANTAGES

• Less efficiency
• Dropped & missed calls
• Security issues
APPLICATIONS

• Mobile telephony
• Controlling & monitoring
- Roller doors
- electric gates
- air conditioners
• Remote camera monitoring
• GSM is used in GPRS system
• Voice call & SMS
FUTURE OF GSM
