GSMGSM GSM NETWORK
Physical channel - Each timeslot on a carrier is referred to as a physical channel. Per carrier there are 8 physical channels. Logical channel - Variety of information is transmitted between the MS and BTS. There are different logical channels depending on the information sent. The logical channels are of two types Traffic channel Control channel Downlink Uplink CHANNELS CHANNEL CONCEPT

GSM Control Channels BCH ( Broadcast channels ) Downlink only Control Channels DCCH( Dedicated Channels ) Downlink & Uplink CCCH( Common Control Chan ) Downlink & Uplink Synch. Channels RACH Random Access Channel CBCH Cell Broadcast Channel SDCCH Standalone dedicated control channel ACCH Associated Control Channels SACCH Slow associated Control Channel FACCH Fast Associated Control Channel PCH/ AGCH Paging/Access grant FCCH Frequency Correction channel SCH Synchronisation channel BCCH Broadcast control channel CHANNEL CONCEPT
BCH Channels BCCH( Broadcast Control Channel ) Downlink only Broadcasts general information of the serving cell called System Information BCCH is transmitted on timeslot zero of BCCH carrier Read only by idle mobile at least once every 30 secs. SCH( Synchronisation Channel ) Downlink only Carries information for frame synchronisation. Contains TDMA frame number and BSIC . FCCH( Frequency Correction Channel ) Downlink only. Enables MS to synchronise to the frequency. Also helps mobiles of the ncells to locate TS 0 of BCCH carrier. CHANNEL CONCEPT
CCCH Channels RACH( Random Access Channel ) Uplink only Used by the MS to access the Network. AGCH( Access Grant Channel ) Downlink only Used by the network to assign a signalling channel upon succes s full decoding of access bursts. PCH( Paging Channel ) Downlink only. Used by the Network to contact the MS. CHANNEL CONCEPT
DCCH Channels SDCCH( Standalone Dedicated Control Channel ) Uplink and Downlink Used for call setup, location update and SMS. SACCH( Slow Associated Control Channel ) Used on Uplink and Downlink only in dedicated mode. Uplink SACCH messages - Measurement reports. Downlink SACCH messages - control info. FACCH( Fast Associated Control Channel ) Uplink and Downlink. Associated with TCH only. Is used to send fast messages like handover messages. Works by stealing traffic bursts. CHANNEL CONCEPT
