INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION• The global system for mobile communications
(GSM) is a set of recommendations and specifications for a digital cellular telephone network (known as a Public Land Mobile Network, or PLMN). These recommendations ensure the compatibility of equipment from different GSM manufacturers, and interconnectivity between different administrations, including operations across international boundaries.

THE GSM NETWORKTHE GSM NETWORK
• The GSM network is comprised of the following components:
• Network Elements• The GSM network incorporates a number of network
elements to support mobile equipment. They are listed and described in the GSM network elements section of this chapter.
• GSM subsystems• In addition, the network includes subsystems that are not
formally recognized as network elements but are necessary for network operation. These are described in the GSM subsystems (non-network elements) section of this chapter.
• Standardized Interfaces• GSM specifies standards for interfaces between network
elements, which ensure the connectivity of GSM equipment from different manufacturers. These are listed in the Standardized interfaces section of this chapter.

THE GSM NETWORK - THE GSM NETWORK - CONTINUEDCONTINUED
• Network Protocols
• For most of the network communications on these interfaces, internationally recognized communications protocols have been used
• These are identified in the Network protocols section of this chapter.
• GSM Frequencies• The frequency allocations for GSM 900, Extended GSM
and Digital Communications Systems are identified in the GSM frequencies section of this chapter.

DIGITAL NETWORKSDIGITAL NETWORKS
• GSM networks are digital and can cater for high system capacities. They are consistent with the world wide digitization of the telephone network, and are an extension of the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), using a digital radio interface between the cellular network and the mobile subscriber
equipment.

INCREASED CAPACITYINCREASED CAPACITY• The GSM system provides a greater subscriber capacity
than analogue systems. GSM allows 25 kHz. Per user, that is, eight conversations per 200kHz. Channel pair (a pair comprising one transmit channel and one receive channel). Digital channel coding and the modulation used makes the signal resistant to interference from the cells where the same frequencies are re-used (co-channel interference); a Carrier to Interference Ratio (C/I) level of 9 dB is achieved, as opposed to the 18 dB typical with analogue cellular. This allows increased geographic reuse by permitting a reduction in the number of cells in the reuse pattern. Since this number is directly controlled by the amount of interference, the radio transmission design can deliver acceptable performance.

SUBSCRIBER IDENTIFICATIONSUBSCRIBER IDENTIFICATION• International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)• Just the IMEI identifies the mobile equipment, other
numbers are used to identify the mobile subscriber. Different subscriber identities are used in different phases of call setup. The International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) is the primary identity of the subscriber within the mobile network and is permanently assigned to that subscriber.
• Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI)• The GSM system can also assign a Temporary Mobile
Subscriber Identity (TMSI). After the subscriber’s IMSI has been initialized on the system, the TMSI can be used for sending backward and forward across the network to identify the subscriber. The system automatically changes the TMSI at regular intervals, thus protecting the subscriber from being identified by someone attempting to monitor the radio channels. The TMSI is a local number and is always transmitted with the Local numbers and is always transmitted with the Location Area Identification (LAI) to avoid ambiguities.
![Page 13: Gsm Training Gurgaon](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aeaf8af795967298b497e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SUBSCRIBER IDENTIFICATION SUBSCRIBER IDENTIFICATION MODULE (SIM)MODULE (SIM)
• By making a distinction between the subscriber identity and the mobile equipment identity, a GSM PLMN can route calls and perform billing based on the identity of the subscriber rather than the mobile equipment being used. This can be done using a removable Subscriber Information Module (SIM). A ”smart card” is one possible implementation of a SIM module.
• IMSI. This is transmitted at initialization of the mobile equipment.
• TMSI This is updated periodically by the PLMN• MSISDN This is made up of a country code, a
national code and a subscriber number.• Location Area Identity (LAI) This identified the
current location of the subscriber.• Subscriber Authentication Key (KI) This is used to
authenticate the SIM.

EQUIPMENT IDENTITY NUMBEREQUIPMENT IDENTITY NUMBER
• International Mobile station Equipment Identity (IMEI)
• Each MS is identified by an International Mobile station Equipment Identity (IMEI) number which is permanently stored in the mobile equipment. On request, the MS sends this number over the signalling channel to the MSC. The IMEI can be used to identify MS,s that are reported stolen or operating incorrectly.
• Equipment Identity Register ( EIR )• A listing of the allowed IMEI is maintained by the
PLMN’s in the Equipment Identity Register (EIR) to validate the mobile equipment.

B InterfaceB Interface• The B interface between the MSC and the VLR
uses the MAP/TCAP protocol. • Most MSCs are associated with a VLR, making the
B interface "internal". • Whenever the MSC needs access to data
regarding a MS located in its area, it interrogates the VLR using the MAP/B protocol over the B interface.
![Page 104: Gsm Training Gurgaon](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aeaf8af795967298b497e/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
C InterfaceC Interface
• The C interface is between the HLR and a MSC. • Each call originating outside of GSM (i.e., a MS
terminating call from the PSTN) has to go through a Gateway to obtain the routing information required to complete the call, and the MAP/TCAP protocol over the C interface is used for this purpose.

the logical channels from transmission errors introduced by the radio path.
• The coding schemes depend on the type of the logical channels, hence the coding can differ from speech, control and data .

Channel coding for SpeechChannel coding for Speech• The 260 bits of speech info from the
vocoder is broken down into three parts.• Class 1a- 50 bits , these represent the
filter coefficients of the speech and are the most important for proper detection of the speech at the receiver and hence are given maximum protection. 3 additional parity bits are derived from the class 1a bits for cyclic redundancy check (CRC).
![Page 118: Gsm Training Gurgaon](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aeaf8af795967298b497e/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)

• Class 1b - 132 bits are not parity checked but are fed into the convolutional coder along with 4 tail bits which are used to set the registers in the receiver to a known state for decoding purpose.
• Class 2- 78 bits, these are not so important and are not protected but are combined with the output of the convolution coder.

Control Channel CodingControl Channel Coding• The control information is received in blocks
of 184 bits.• These bits are first protected with a cyclic
code called as Fire code, which is useful in correction and detection of burst errors.
• 40 Parity bits are added, along with 4 tail bits.• These 228 bits are given to the CC whose
output is again 456 bits at a bitrate of 22.8Kbps.
• The control channels include the RACH, PCH, AGCH etc.

Data Channel CodingData Channel Coding• The data bits are received in blocks of 240
bits. These are directly convolution coded after adding 4 tail bits.
• The output of the CC is now 488 bits, which actually increases the bitrate to 24.4 Kbps.
• To keep the bitrate constant on the air interface we need to puncture the output of the CC. Hence, we have a final bitrate of 22.8 Kbps again .

Interleaving Interleaving • Having encoded the logical channel
information, the next step is to build its bit stream into bursts that can be transmitted within the TDMA frame structure. This is the stage where the interleaving process is carried out.
• Interleaving spreads the content of one information block across several TDMA timeslots or bursts.
![Page 125: Gsm Training Gurgaon](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aeaf8af795967298b497e/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)

is shown wherein which a 456 bit speech block is divided into 8 blocks of 57 bits each and each of these odd and even 57 bit blocks are interleaved diagonally on to alternate bursts on the TDMA frame.

Data Interleaving cont’dData Interleaving cont’d• Here the data block of 456 bits is divided
into 4 blocks of 114 bits each.• The first 6 bits from each of the 114 bit
blocks is inserted in to each frame, the second 6 bits from each of the 114 bits into the next frame and so on spreading each 114 block over 19 TDMA bursts while the entire 456 bits is spread over 22 TDMA bursts.
• Thus the data interleaving is said to have a depth of 22 bursts.
![Page 130: Gsm Training Gurgaon](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aeaf8af795967298b497e/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
Data Interleaving cont’dData Interleaving cont’d• The reason why data is spread over such along
period of time is that if data burst is corrupted or lost, only a small part of it is lost which can be reproduced at the receiver.
• This wide interleaving depth does produce a time delay during transmission but that is acceptable since it does not affect the data signal quality at the receiver, unlike speech where delay could result in bad quality of signal to the subscriber.
• *Note – The interleaving used in data is diagonal interleaving.
![Page 131: Gsm Training Gurgaon](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aeaf8af795967298b497e/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
Before Deinterleaving3 successive bursts corrupted
After DeinterleavingThe corrupted bursts are spread over a length equal to the
interleaving depth so that the effect of the errors isminimized.

Air Interface BitrateAir Interface Bitrate• The information which is now coded and
interleaved at 22.8 Kbps now has to be transmitted over the Air interface to the BTS.
• The information burst is not sent directly , but is sent in ciphered form within a burst envelope. This ciphering is done using ciphering keys and algorithms known both by the mobile and the BSS.
![Page 133: Gsm Training Gurgaon](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aeaf8af795967298b497e/html5/thumbnails/133.jpg)
Air Interface Bitrate cont’dAir Interface Bitrate cont’d• The Kc is the ciphering key and A5
algorithm are applied to the information(speech or data) which increases the bitrate to a final rate of 33.8 Kbps from/to each mobile.
• If we assume all 8 timeslots of the cell to be occupied then the bitrate of the Air interface comes to 33.8 * 8= 270.4 Kbps/channel.

Decoding and Decoding and Deinterleaving at the Deinterleaving at the
ReceiverReceiver• At the receiver the reverse process of
Deinterleaving and decoding have to take place respectively, so as to recover the information from the signal.
• After Deinterleaving the signal will be decoded which is the reverse process of the Convolutional coding, using Viterbi decoders.
• The decoder can recover lost or corrupted data up to 4 successive bits, because the memory depth of the CC is 4(for k=5).

Timing AdvanceTiming Advance
• TDMA approach requires signals to arrive at BTS at the correct time
• A mobile at 30 km will be late by 100micro seconds
• Timing advance is in the range of 0-62• One unit is 550m• So maximum cell size is 63*0.55 =
~35 kms

What is DTX?What is DTX?• DTX (Discontinous Transmission)• Each direction of Transmission is only
50% • Transmitter is switched ON for useful
information frames
Need for DTX•To increase battery life•To reduce the average interference levelDTX is done by DTX handlers which have the following functions.

VAD (Voice Activity VAD (Voice Activity Detector)Detector)
• Senses for speech in 20ms blocks • Removes stationary noise• VAD is an energy detector• Compares Energy of filtered speech
threshold• It determines which 20ms blocks
contain speech and it only forwards those frames

Evaluation of Background Evaluation of Background NoiseNoise
• Background noise is always present with speech
• DTX cuts off this noise with speech• Gives an uncomfortable feeling to
the listener• VAD takes care of this by inserting
comfort noise at the receiving end when speech discontinues.

Emergency CallsEmergency Calls• GSM specs define 112 as an
emergency number• ‘112’ is accessible with or without SIM• Without SIM it is sent on the best
channel• Mobile on sensing ‘112’ sets the
establishment cause to emergency call in the RACH
• Routing of this call be done to a desired location defined in the switch

Cell (Re)selectionCell (Re)selection• Cell reselection is done using C1 path
loss criterion.• The purpose is to ensure that the MS
is camped on to the cell with the best transmission quality.
• The MS will camp on to the cell with the highest C1 value if C1 > 0.

Cell Reselect HysteresisCell Reselect Hysteresis• Cell reselection on the border of two location areas
result in a location update. When an MS moves on the border of two location areas lots of location updates take place. To avoid these location updates, the reselect hysteresis is introduced.
• A location update is performed only if:– The C1 value of the new location area is higher
than the C1 value in the current location area and
– The received signal strengths have at least a difference of the reselect hysteresis.

Channel Channel assignment assignment strategiesstrategies
Considerations : 1) Max. capacity. 2) Min interference. 3) Perfect handover.
Types of assignment strategies : 1) Fixed : Each cell has permanent predetermined set of
voice channels. New calls served by unused channels of this cell. Borrowing strategy if all channels are occupied. High probabiltity that call is Blocked if channels
are occupied.( disadv.)
![Page 210: Gsm Training Gurgaon](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aeaf8af795967298b497e/html5/thumbnails/210.jpg)
2) Dynamic :
Channels are not allocated to different cells permanently.
Each new call BTS requests new channel from MSC.
MSC allocate a channel, by using an algorithm that takes into account:
1- Frequency is not already in use. 2- Min. reuse distance to avoid co-
channel interference.
![Page 211: Gsm Training Gurgaon](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aeaf8af795967298b497e/html5/thumbnails/211.jpg)
Adv. of dynamic assignment strategy :
1) Increase channel utilization ( Increase trunking efficiency ).
2) Decrease probability of a blocked call.

a)“Min. acceptable performance” algorithm:
MS power is increased when quality deceases till handover is the only way.
b) “Power budget “ algorithm: Prefer direct handover when quality
deceases without increasing MS power first .

1) Co-channel 1) Co-channel interferenceinterference
• Source : Near cell using same frequency. It is a function of reuse distance(D/R).• General rule :
io = No. of co-channel interfering cells.S = Signal power from a desired BS.Ii = interference power caused by the ith
interfering co-channel cell BS.

• Another form : C/I = 10 log {(1/n)(D/R)*m} Where : m = propagation constant
(dep’s on nature of environment)
n = number of co-channel interferers.
Can be minimized by : Choosing minimum reuse distance = (2.5….3)(2R).

Can be minimized by :
1-careful filtering2-careful channel assignments3-Directional antenna.
• General rule : ACI= -10 Log[(d1/d2)*m] – Adj ch isolation.
Where : d1: distance between MS & proper
BTs d2: dist. Bet MS & adj BTS causing interference.
Adj ch isolation = Filter isolation = - 26db.

What does sectoring What does sectoring mean?mean?
We can now assign frequency sets to sectors and decrease the re-use distance to fulfill :
1) More freq reuse. 2) Higher system capacity. 3) Improve S/I ratio ( better signal quality ).How S/I ratio is improved? -e.g. In 120 degree sectoring there’s only 2 interferers instead of 6 incase of
omnidirectional N=7 cluster.
