UNIT-III
1. Define GSM?
The global system for mobile communication (GSM) was developed by Groupe Speciale
Mobile(GSM) which was founded in Europe in 1992. The Gsm is a standard for mobile
telecommunication through a cellular network at data rates if upto 14.4 kbps. Now a days it consist
of a set of standards and protocols for mobile telecommunication.
2. Define GPRS?
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packet oriented service for mobile devices data
communication which utilizes the unused channels in TDMA mode in a GSM network and also
sends and receives packet of data through the internet.
3. What are subsystems in GSM system?
Radio subsystem (RSS)
Network & Switching subsystem (NSS)
Operation subsystem (OSS)
4. What are the control channel groups in GSM?
The control channel groups in GSM are:
Broadcast control channel (BCCH)
Common control channel (CCCH)
Dedicated control channel (DCCH)
5. What are the four types of handover available in
GSM? Intra cell Handover
Inter cell Intra BSC
Handover Inter BSC Intra
MSC handover Inter MSC
Handover

6. What is the frequency range of uplink and downlink in GSM


network? The frequency range of uplink in GSM network is 890-960 MHz
The frequency range of downlink in GSM network is 935-960 MHz

7. What are the security services offered by GSM?


The security services offered by GSM are:
Access control and authentication.
Confidentiality.
Anonymity.
8. What are the reasons for delays in GSM for packet data traffic?
Collisions only are possible in GSM with a connection establishment. A slotted ALOHA mechanism is used to
get access to the control channel by which the base station is told about the connection establishment attempt.
After connection establishment, a designated channel is installed for the transmission.
9. What is meant by beacon?
A beacon contains a timestamp and other management information used for power management
and roaming. e.g., identification of the base station subsystem (BSS)

10 . List out the numbers needed to locate an MS and to address the MS.
The numbers needed to locate an MS and to address the
MS are: Mobile station international ISDN number

(MSISDN) International mobile subscriber identity


(IMSI)
Temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI)
Mobile station roaming number (MSRN)

11 . What is meant by GPRS?


The General Packet Radio Service provides packet mode transfer for applications that
exhibit traffic patterns such as frequent transmission of small volumes.
12. What is meant by GGSN?
GGSN is Gateway GPRS Support Node. It is the inter-working unit between the GPRS
network and external packet data networks. The GGSN is connected to external networks via
the Gi interface and transfers packets to the SGSN via an IPbased GPRS backbone network.
13. What is meant by SGSN?
SGSN is Serving GPRS Support Node. It supports the MS via the Gb interface. The GSN
is connected to a BSC via frame relay.
14. What is meant by BSSGP?
BSSGP is Base Station Subsystem GPRS Protocol. It is used to convey routing and QoS- related
information between the BSS and SGSN.BSSGP does not perform error correction and works on
top of a frame relay network.
15.Expand GSM, GPRS and UMTS.
 Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM)
 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
