E1 – E2 (CM) – Core Paper (2022) GSM – Introduction and Architecture For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
GSM - Introduction GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communication. GSM is a 2nd Generation Digital Cellular Communication System. GSM is the most widely accepted standard in telecommunications and it is implemented globally. GSM is the name of a standardization group established in 1982 to create a common European mobile telephone standard but it has been rapidly accepted worldwide. GSM is a circuit-switched system that divides each 200 kHz channel into eight 25 kHz time-slots. For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
GSM – Introduction – Contd ….. GSM operates on the mobile communication bands 900 MHz and 1800 MHz in most parts of the world. In the US, GSM operates in the bands 850 MHz and 1900 MHz GSM makes use of narrowband Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technique for transmitting signals. GSM was developed using digital technology. It has an ability to carry 64 kbps to 120 Mbps of data rates. GSM provides basic to advanced voice and data services including roaming service. Roaming is the ability to use your GSM phone number in another GSM network. For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only

Bandwidth and Duplexing Spacing For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
Challenge: Need of Simultaneous Communication in both direction Solution : Duplexing Methodology Duplexing is the technique by which the send and receive paths are separated over the medium, since transmission entities (modulator, amplifiers, demodulators) are involved. There are two types of Duplexing . • Frequency Division Duplexing FDD • Time Division Duplexing TDD For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
Frequency Division Duplexing FDD Different Frequencies are used for send and receive paths and hence there will be a forward band and reverse band. Duplexer is needed if simultaneous transmission (send) and reception (receive) methodology is adopted. Frequency separation between forward band and reverse band is constant Downlink Uplink For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
Time Division Duplexing (TDD) TDD uses different time slots for transmission and reception paths. Single radio frequency can be used in both the directions instead of two as in FDD. Hence No duplexer is required. Only a fast switching synthesizer, RF filter path and fast antenna switch are needed. It increases the battery life of mobile phones.

Architecture of GSM Network For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
GSM – Network Areas For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
International Mobile Equipment Identity [IMEI] The IMEI is used for equipment identification. Am IMEI uniquely identifies a mobile station as a piece or assembly of equipment. IMEI = TAC + FAC + SNR + SP TAC= Type Approval Code (6 digits), determined by GSM body FAC= Final Assembly Code (2 digits), identifies the manufacturer SNR= Serial Number (6 digits), uniquely identifying all equipment within each TAC and FAC SP = Spare for future use (1 digit) For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
International Mobile Subscriber Identity [IMSI] Subscriber always identified within the GSM network by the IMSI This is used for all signaling in the PLMN stored in SIM and HLR/VLR The IMSI consists of three different parts MCC = Mobile Country Code(3 Digits) MNC = Mobile Network Code(2 Digits) MSIN = Mobile Station Identification Number ( Upto 10 digits) For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number -MSISDN The MSISDN is a GSM directory number which uniquely identifies a mobile subscription in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Calls will be routed from the PSTN and other networks based on the Mobile Subscribers’ MSISDN number. MSISDN= CC + NDC + SN CC= Country Code (91) NDC= National Destination Code(98370) SN= Subscriber Number (12345) For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
Mobile Station Roaming Number [ MSRN] HLR knows in what Service area the subscriber is located. In order to provide a temporary number to be used for routing, the HLR requests the current MSC/VLR to allocate a Mobile Station Roaming Number(MSRN) to the called subscriber and to return it. At reception of the MSRN, HLR sends it to the MSC, which now can route the call to the VLR where the called subscriber is currently registered. For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity [TMSI] The TMSI is used for the subscriber’s confidentiality. It should be combined with the LAI to uniquely identify a MS. Since the TMSI has only local significance (that is, within the MSC/VLR area), the structure may be chosen by each administration. The TMSI should not consist of more than four octets. For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
Location Area Identity (LAI) LAI identifies a location area which is a group of cells.. It is transmitted in the BCCH. When the MS moves into another LA (detected by monitoring LAI transmitted on the BCCH) it must perform a LU. LAI = MCC + MNC + LAC MCC= Mobile Country Code(3 digits), identifies the country MNC= Mobile Network Code(1-2 digits), identifies the GSM-PLMN LAC= Location Area Code, identifies a location area within a GSM PLMN network. The maximum length of LAC is 16 bits,enabling 65536 different location areas to be defined in one GSM PLMN. For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
Cell Identifier (CI) Cell Identifier (CI) (maximum 2 × 8) bits, Individual cells that are within an LA can be recognized. When the Global Cell Identity (LAI + CI) calls are combined, then it is uniquely defined. For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
Local Mobile Subscriber Identity (LMSI) LMSI is an original key, assigned by the VLR An LMSI is assigned if the mobile station is registered with the VLR and sent to the HLR. LMSI comprises of four octets (4x8 bits). For Internal Circulation Within BSNL Only
