Introduction
 At the beginning of the 1980s it was realized that the European
countries were using many different, incompatible mobile
phone systems.
 At the same time, the needs for telecommunication services
were remarkably increased.
 Due to this, CEPT (Conférence European Posts
Telecommunications) founded a group to specify a common
mobile system for Western Europe.
This group was named “Groupe Spéciale Mobile” and the
system name GSM arose.

What is GSM?
 GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is an
open, digital cellular technology used for transmitting
mobile voice and data services.

What does GSM offer?
 GSM supports voice calls and data transfer speeds of up to 9.6
kbps, together with the transmission of SMS (Short Message
Service).
 GSM operates in the 900MHz and 1.8GHz bands in Europe
and the 1.9GHz and 850MHz bands in the US. GSM services
are also transmitted via 850MHz spectrum in Australia, Canada
and many Latin American countries.

Why GSM?
The GSM study group aimed to provide the followings through
the GSM:
 Improved spectrum efficiency.
 International roaming.
 Low-cost mobile sets and base stations (BSs).
 High-quality speech.
 Compatibility with Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN) and other telephone company services.
 Support for new services.

Services provided by GSM
 From the beginning, the planners of GSM wanted ISDN
compatibility in terms of the services offered and the
control signalling used.
 However, radio transmission limitations, in terms of
bandwidth and cost, do not allow the standard ISDN B-
channel bit rate of 64 kbps to be practically achieved.
 Using the ITU-T definitions, telecommunication services
can be divided into bearer services, teleservices, and
supplementary services.
 The most basic teleservice supported by GSM is telephony.

History
 Driving Factors:
 Incompatibility of the European analog cellular systems
 Reaching of capacity limits
 Costs of the equipment
 1982, Conference of European Post and Telecommunications
formed Group Speciale Mobile (GSM)

History
…
 1987, 15 operators from 13 countries signed Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU)
 1991, Finland’s operator Radiolinia launched first GSM
network in July 1991
 1992, Massive deployment of GSM started
 By 2000 GSM became the most popular 2G technology
worldwide
 GSM standard still evolving and enriched with new features
and services

Architecture
 A GSM network consists of several functional entities, whose
functions and interfaces are defined. The GSM network can be
divided into following broad parts.
 The Mobile Station (MS)
 The Base Station Subsystem (BSS)
 The Network Switching Subsystem (NSS)
 The Operation Support Subsystem (OSS)

GSM Network along with added
elements:

GSM network areas
 Cell: Cell is the basic service area: one BTS covers one cell.
Each cell is given a Cell Global Identity (CGI), a number that
uniquely identifies the cell.
 Location Area: A group of cells form a Location Area. This is
the area that is paged when a subscriber gets an incoming call.
 MSC/VLR Service Area: The area covered by one MSC is
called the MSC/VLR service area.
 PLMN: The area covered by one network operator is called
PLMN. A PLMN can contain one or more MSCs.

Advantages
 GSM is more suitable network with robust pitfall.
 Low signal inside the building and house.
 The subscriber globally creates much better in network effect
for GSM handset maker’s carries and end users.
 It can be use repeaters.
 A customer has been better voice quality and low cost amount
in alternatives to making cells like (sms) etc.
 It is easy to implement.

Disadvantages
 Many of the technology are patented and should be license
from qualcomm.
 When customers using particular sites going up and the range
of the sites goes down.
 Manufactures are not release IS-95 devices due to the lack of
the big market and it come in late in market.

Conclusion
 In the analog communication systems the voice quality was
poor and in the GSM networks we find good voice quality and
the frequency range is also increased. The transformation has
been going and the third generation networks are being used
and it has higher frequency ranges and data rates.
