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
A Channel is a frequency or set of frequency which can be allocated for the transmission and reception of information. Types Of Communication Channels. 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.
1st 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).
2nd Generation Cellular System • 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.
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
Abis Interface Interface
