OBJECTIVES OF GSM
SYSTEM
1. Common Radio Spectrum in all Countries
As a pan-European standard, the European Commission
issued a directive to reserve frequencies in the 900 MHz
band for GSM.

1. GSM-900 System Mobile Radio Networks 124 frq. Chls. With a bandwidth of
200KHz – for both UP-Link & Down-Link.
2. The UP-Link ie Mobile station to BTS uses Freqs. between 890 & 915 MHz.
3. The Down-Link ie BTS to Mobile station uses freqs. Between 935 &
960MHz.
4. The Duplex spacing, the spacing between the Up-Link & Down-Link Channel
is 45MHz.
1. GSM-1800 System Mobile Radio Networks 374 frq. Chls. With a bandwidth
of 200KHz – for both UP-Link & Down-Link.
2. The UP-Link ie Mobile station to BTS uses Freqs. between 1710 &
1785MHz.
3. The Down-Link ie BTS to Mobile station uses freqs. Between 1805 &
1880MHz.
4. The Duplex spacing, the spacing between the Up-Link & Down-Link Channel
is 95MHz.

Mobile Switching Centre (MSC)
A switching Centre in the IMPCS
– Functions as a gateway to
other networks
– Is connected to other MSCs in
the network
– Connects the network elements
of the network Sub System
(NSS) to the network of the
Radio Sub System (RSS)
Functions of MSC
Call handling function : Routing, and Signaling
Radio resource management and RSS Signaling
protocol management
Location registration
Hand-over
Inter-working functions
Support the transfer of encryption parameters
Special security functions like checking the IMEI.
Control the operation of echo-chancellors.
Collect billing data and Collect traffic data
Operation and Maintenance
Home Location Register (HLR)
Contains the permanent subscriber
description Parameters i.e.
– Subscriber identity,
– Subscribed Services: Basic-services
and Supplementary-services
– Mobile subscriber ISDN number
(MSISDN)
– Location of the subscriber .
– International mobile subscriber
identity (IMSI)
– Routing information (e.g. Mobile
station Roaming Number MSRN)
Functions Of HLR
cont.
O&M functions
– Configuration management
– Status report handling
– Fault report and alarm handling
– Performance
supervision/management
– Storage of system software and data
– Security management.
Network Management Centre (NMC)
Functions:
– Network configurations/re-
configurations, including
neighboring cell's descriptions
– Network performance analysis
– High level problem display
– Overall networking supervision
– Administration support
– Trouble ticketing
