Detailed document about gsm radio air interface, gsm slot and burst. Frame 12 is used as sacch, frame 25 is idle, allowing the base station to measure field strengths from mobiles in other cells, when needed for handovers.
In practice, the bts transmits a sync signal in the sch channel which is used my all ms in the cell for timing. Therefore, each mobile uses the channel for one timeslot and then waits for its turn to come round again in the next frame. Users of the present document should be aware that the document may be subject to revision or change of status. In case of dispute, the reference shall be the printing on etsi printers of the pdf version kept on a specific network drive. Given below is a simple pictorial view of the gsm architecture. The frame structure for the type 2 frames used on lte tdd is somewhat different. The gsm system uses a tdma frame structure where each frame consist of 8 time slots, and each time slot contains 156. The mobile transmitter turns on only during its active timeslot.

In the case of a reference to a 3gpp document including a gsm document, a nonspecific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that documentin the same release as the present document. Openi ng and closing flag field each frame begins and ends with a flag sequence octet which is defined as a constant bit pattern. Following is a list of references for p25 information. Gsm differs from first generation wireless systems in that it uses digital technology and time division multiple access tdma transmission methods.
Gsm data structure is split into slots, frames, multiframes, superframes and hyperframes. Each gsm superframe composed of multiframes either 26 or 51 as described below. Two slots make one subframe, which is 1ms long 30,720 t s. Gsm operates on the mobile communication bands 900 mhz and 1800 mhz in most parts of the world.

Frames 0 to 11 and to 24 carry speech or user data. Grasp certain numbers that refer to bss grasp the 4 kinds of channel combination and understand the idea of multiframe.
For a nonspecific reference, the latest version applies. Everything will work very well if all ms were located at the same distance from the bts. Since there are a maximum of eight users per frequency, there are eight timeslots ts per gsm frame. The 10 ms frame comprises two half frames, each 5 ms long.
Gsm cell structure l the power level of a transmitter within a single cell must be limited to reduce the interference with the neighboring cells. The minimum unit being frame or tdma frame is made of 8 time slots. It allow the mobile handset to obtain much higher data speed than what standard gsm can offers.
