Bands Of GSM
1 100 KHz
2 200 KHz
A 200 KHz carrier spacing has been chosen. Excluding 2x100 KHz edges of the band, this gives 124 possible carriers for the uplink and downlink. The use of carrier 1 and 124 are optional for operators.
Features Of GSM
1) Compatibility
Before GSM every country has a different Cellular system. Not compatible with each other in terms of equipment & services. The need for a common standard for mobile communications was therefore obvious. GSM has been specified and developed by many European countries working in co-operation with each other. An additional advantage; large market for GSM equipment. This means manufacturers can produce equipment in higher quantities and of better quality. Therefore competitive and aggressive pricing structure exists
2) Noise Robustness
Before GSM Cellular services used analogue radio signals. Although excellent audio quality but vulnerable to noise. The noise which interferes with the current system may be produced by any of the following sources: 1. A powerful or nearby external source (a vehicle ignition system or a lightning bolt, perhaps); 2. Another transmission on the same frequency (co-channel interference); 3. Another transmission breaking through from a nearby frequency (adjacent channel interference); 4. Background radio noise intruding because the required signal is too weak to exclude it.
2) Noise Robustness
In order to combat these problems, GSM uses digital technology instead of analogue. By using digital signals, we can manipulate the data and include sophisticated error protection, detection and correction software. The overall result is that the signals passed across the GSM air interface withstand more errors. Due to this feature, the GSM air interface in harsh RF environments can produce a usable signal,
7) ISDN Compatibility
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a standard that most developed countries are committed to implement. This is a new and advanced telecommunication network designed to carry voice and user data over standard telephone lines. The GSM network has been designed to operate with the ISDN system and provides features which are compatible with it. GSM can provide a maximum data rate of 9.6 kbit/s while ISDN provides much higher data rates than this.
