WHAT IS GSM ?

 Global System for Mobile (GSM) is a second

generation cellular standard developed to cater
voice services and data delivery using digital
modulation

THE CELLULAR CONCEPT

Cell Mode Layout

Omni-directional cell O

Adopt omni-directional antenna ，

the overall directional propagation
characteristic is the same.

Directional cell
In general, cell with multi-sector is in
common use. Every directional cell
adopts directional antenna.
 TRAFFIC MEASUREMENTS

ERLANG :

the traffic intensity of a totally occupied channel (i.e. the

call hour of a unit hour or the call minute of a unit minute).
For example, the traffic of a channel occupied for 30
minutes in an hour is 0.5 Erlang)

GOS:

defined as the probability of call blocking or the

probability when the call delay time is longer than a given
queuing time.
