GSM System Survey Channel Concepts Syed Amir Abbas

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(BTS+BSC) and the MS

Abis Interface Interface

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.

Frequency Concepts:

Introduction to Physical and Logical Channels: Each timeslot on a TDMA frame is called a physical channel. There are 8 physical channels per carrier frequency in GSM. Physical channels can be used to transmit speech, data or signaling information A physical channel may carry different messages, depending on the information that is to be sent. These messages are called logical channels.

Logical channels:

Broadcast Channels:

Common Control Channel:

Dedicated Control Channel:

Traffic Channels: Once call set-up procedures have been completed on the control physical channel, the MS tunes to a traffic physical channel. It uses the Traffic CHannel (TCH) logical channel. There are two types of TCH: · Full rate (TCH): transmits full rate speech (13 kbits/s). A full rate TCH occupies one physical channel. · Half rate (TCH/2): transmits half rate speech (6.5 kbits/s). Two half rate TCH's can share one physical channel, thus doubling the capacity of a cell. Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) speech coders improve the speech quality offered across one full rate TCH, but still use a full rate TCH logical channel.

Sample Traffic Case: Call to an MS: 1. The MSC/VLR knows which LA the MS is located in. A paging message is sent to the BSCs controlling the LA. .

2. The BSC’s distribute the paging message to the BTS's in the desired LA. The BTS's transmit the message over the air interface using PCH.

3. When the MS detects a PCH identifying itself, it sends a request for a signaling channel using RACH

4. The BSC uses AGCH to inform the MS of the signaling channel (SDCCH and SACCH) to use.

5. SDCCH and SACCH are used for call set-up 5. SDCCH and SACCH are used for call set-up. A TCH is allocated and the SDCCH is released.

5. SDCCH and SACCH are used for call set-up 5. SDCCH and SACCH are used for call set-up. A TCH is allocated and the SDCCH is released.

6. The MS and BTS switch to the identified TCH frequency and time slot 6. The MS and BTS switch to the identified TCH frequency and time slot. The MS generates ring tone. If the subscriber answers, the connection is established. During the call, signals can be sent and received by the MS using SACCH.

Bursts:

The Relationship Between Bursts and Frames: There are two types of multiframe: · 26 TDMA frame multiframe: used to carry TCH, SACCH and FACCH · 51 TDMA frame multiframe: used to carry BCCH, CCCH, SDCCH and SACCH.

Mapping of Logical Channels on to Physical Channels: Logical channels are transmitted on physical channels. The method of placing logical channels on physical channels is called mapping. CARRIER 0, TIME SLOT 0: Time slot 0 of the first carrier frequency in a cell is always reserved for signaling purposes. When an MS is determining whether a carrier frequency is a BCCH carrier, it knows where to look. On the downlink, BCH and CCCH information is transmitted. The only logical channel on the uplink is RACH. By having the uplink free for RACH only, a mobile subscriber can initiate a call at any time.

CARRIER 0, TIME SLOT 1: Generally, time slot 1 of the first carrier frequency in a cell is reserved for signaling It is possible to assign a second (or more) physical channel for the purpose of call set-up (using DCCH) (any physical channel other than time slots 0 and 1) If there is a low traffic load in a cell, it is possible to use physical channel 0 on carrier frequency 0 for all signaling information: BCH, CCCH and DCCH. By doing so, physical channel 1 can be spared for traffic. Eight SDCCHs and 4 SACCHs can all share the same physical channel. DCCH on TS-1 or TS-2? As a general rule TS-1 had been used for DCCH and today most operators are using TS-1 for DCCH. Some operators are using Extended Cells with radius longer than 35km (up to 121km). These extended cells require 2 time slots per channel otherwise the adjacent TS may experience interference.

Carrier 0, Time Slot 2-7 and All TS on Other Carriers in the same cell: All time slots in a cell other than those assigned for signaling information are used for traffic, i.e. speech or data. Logical channel TCH is used. At regular intervals during a call, an MS transmits to the BTS measurements it has made about signal strength and quality. Logical channel SACCH is used for this, replacing one TCH time slot at a time. F – FCCH S – SCH B – BCCH Cn – CCCH (PCH or AGCH) I - Dummay

SDCCH is divided into 8 groups D0-D7 so that it can serve 8 MS’s concurrently A0-A7 are the corresponding SAACH channel groups which are used for TX Power control and TA correction, if necessary, while the MS is located in SDCCH. D – SDCCH A – AGCH I - Dummay
