WHAT IS TELECOMMUNICATION ? Telecommunication means to change information into electronic signals for remote transmission and switching. Fast Deployment Saving Transmission cost. Easy and Fast Access.

FREQUENCY “ The frequency of a radio wave is the number of times that the wave oscillates per second."  FM Radio : 100 MHz Approx.  Television : 300 MHz Approx.  Mobile Networks : 300 – 2000 MHz Approx.

BANDWIDTH In electronic communication, bandwidth is the width of the range (or band) of frequencies that an electronic signal uses on a given transmission medium. In this usage, bandwidth is expressed in terms of the difference between the highest-frequency signal component and the lowest-frequency signal component. Bandwidth = Highest freq – Lowest Freq

CHANNELS A Channel is a frequency or set of frequency which can be allocated for the transmission and reception of information. Types Of Communication Channels.

WHAT IS MULTIPLE ACCESS Simultaneous private use of a transmission medium by multiple independent users is called Multiple Access. Advantages Of Multiple Access Increased capacity Reduced capital requirement Decreased per user expense

FDMA, TDMA & CDMA FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) Each user on a different frequency A channel is a frequency TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) Each user on a different window period in time slot. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) Each user uses the same frequency all the time but mixed with different distinguished code patterns.

TRANSMISSION RATE Average rate of Transmission is called speed of transmission. Rate of data at which data flows through a network.

PATH LOSS Path loss (or path attenuation) is the reduction in power density (attenuation) of an electromagnetic wave. It is used link budget. example, as the mobile station moves away from the base transceiver station.

SHADOWING It is due to obstacles in Wireless communication. A shadow is an area where direct waves from a source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object.

Maximize Efficient used of spectrum (FDMA/TDMA/CDMA/OFDMA) Power Efficiency Battery Minimize Complexity Mobile handset should be sample and easy to use Cost Most important part, the success story of China SECRETES OF UPGRADES

CELLULAR GENERATIONS First Generation Wireless : Analog Second Generation Wireless (2G): Digital Second Generation Wireless + (2G+): More Data Third Generation Wireless (3G):  Universal Global Wireless Voice and Data System Worldwide Effort Toward 3G  International Standard Underway: IMT-2000

29 1 st GENERATION CELLULAR SYSTEM Widespread introduction in early 1980s. Analogue modulation. Frequency division multiple access. Voice traffic only. No inter-network roaming possible. Insecure air interface. Examples :  AMPS (Advance mobile Phone System, American based,800MHz)  TACS (Total Access Communications System, UK based,900MHz)  C-450 (German standard, 450MHz)  JTACS (Japanese Total Access Communications System,900MHz).

30 2 nd GENERATION OF CELLULAR NETWORKS Widespread introduction in 1990s. Use digital modulation. Variety of multiple access strategies. More efficient use of radio spectrum. International roaming capability. Secure air interface. Compatibility with ISDN.

31 GSM ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW A GSM system is made up of three subsystems:  The mobile station (MS)  The Base station subsystem (BSS)  The Network and switching subsystem (NSS) The interfaces defined between each of these sub systems include:  “A” interface between NSS and BSS  “Abis” interface between BSC and BTS (Within the BSS)  “Um” air interface between the BSS and the MS
