Speech can be transmitted at full rate, 13 kbps, or at half rate, 6.5 kbps GSM system – logical channels 2/4 GSM system – logical channels 3/4 • Frequency correction channel (FCCH) – used by the mobile station to tune to the carrier frequency, a frequency correction burst is transmitted on the channel by generating unmodulated sine waves • Synchronization channel (SCH) – transmits base station identity code (BSIC), which allows the mobile station to identify the base station and to convey synchronization information • Broadcast control channel (BCCH) – used for transmission of control information such as: radio channel frequency used by a given cell, neighbor cell list, information on the paging channel, configuration of logical channels in the base station • Paging channel (PCH) – with the PCH the base station initiates a connection with the mobile station GSM system – logical channels 4/4 • Random access channel (RACH) – used by mobile station for initial access to a system (with the RACH the mobile station initiates a connection with base station) • Access grant channel (AGCH) – used by the base station to assign resources to a mobile station requesting access to the network • Stand alone dedicated control channel (SDCCH) – used to provide a reliable connection for signaling and SMS messages, for authentication, and to provide information on location update • Slow associated control channel (SACCH) – supports the SDCCH channel, used for sending network measurement reports and information related to power control procedures • Fast associated control channel (FACCH) – coupled with the speech channel, used for immediate transmission of information related to, for example, cell handover High Speed Circuit Switched Data 1/4 • High Speed Circuit Switched Data is an additional feature of the GSM network and was introduced in phase 2 • HSCSD technology enables a simultaneous application of several speech channels for a single data transmission link • A connection can be set up that makes use simultaneously of n channels (time slots) in the radio interface, where n takes on the values n = 1; 2; ...; 8 • A HSCSD connection can be set up only when the mobile station is capable of using several radio channels simultaneously • Additional modifications are needed in the BSS system that involve multiplexing of a component data stream in one 64 kbps channel of A interface High Speed Circuit Switched Data 2/4 • A HSCSD connection can have a symmetrical configuration – the same number of speech channels is allocated for the uplink and the downlink direction – or a non-symmetrical configuration • A non-symmetrical configuration is chosen when the subscriber requirements cannot be accomplished in a symmetrical configuration • The maximum link transmission speed that can be achieved by the HSCSD technology depends on the number of channels used in the radio interface and on the applied coding • Due to a necessity of transmitting all channels included in a HSCSD connection in one link 64 kbps in interface A, the transmission speed is limited to 57.6 kbps High Speed Circuit Switched Data 3/4 Data rate performance in radio TCH/F4.8 TCH/F9.6 TCH/F14.4 interface [kbps] 4.8 kbps 1 N/A N/A 9.6 kbps 2 1 N/A 14.4 kbps 3 N/A 1 19.2 kbps 4 2 N/A 28.8 kbps N/A 3 2 38.4 kbps N/A 4 N/A 43.2 kbps N/A N/A 3 57.6 kbps N/A N/A 4 High Speed Circuit Switched Data 4/4 GPRS Packet Transmission 1/6 • The implementation of packet transmission in the GSM system requires changes in the structure of the system • New elements are included in the network – SGSN and GGSN nodes • According to the assumptions given in 3GPP specification, GPRS should allow: o pulse data transmission in which time interval between individual moments of transmission is considerably higher than the average transmission delay o frequent transmission (several times per minute) of small amount of data (bursty data transfer up to 500 octets) o occasional transmission of large volumes of data GPRS Packet Transmission 2/6 • The GPRS technology makes it possible to transmit data in several channels. Within one packet connection, the mobile station as well as the base station can make simultaneous use of 8 time slots in a frame • All users of a packet service can share resources available for data transmission that are allocated, due to the asymmetry of traffic, separately for the uplink and for the downlink direction • The radio interface resources can be dynamically shared by speech service and packet data transmission depending on the configuration of the network GPRS Packet Transmission 3/6 • Following logical channels, responsible for transmission of data and signalling information are introduced: o Packet Common Control Channel (PCCCH) • Packet Random Access Channel (PRACH) – used by the mobile station to initiate uplink transfer of user data or signalling information • Packet Paging Channel (PPCH) – used to page a mobile station preceding downlink direction packet transfer. The channel can also be used for establishing speech connections • Packet Access Grant Channel (PAGCH) – used in the packet transfer establishment phase to send resource assignment to a mobile station preceding packet transfer • Packet Notification Channel (PNCH) – used to send point to multipoint multicast notification information to a group of mobile stations preceding multicast packet transfer GPRS Packet Transmission 4/6 • Following logical channels, responsible for transmission of data and signalling information are introduced: o Packet Broadcast Control Channel (PBCCH) – used to broadcast packet system information o Packet Data Traffic Channel (PDTCH) – allocated for user data transfer. Several PDTCH channels can be allocated to a given mobile station. They can be allocated temporarily to one or more mobile stations o Packet Associated Control Channel (PACCH) – used to transmit signalling information related to a given mobile station, such as those related to power control or packet reception acknowledgement messages o Packet Timing Advance Control Channel, Uplink (PTCCH/U) – used to ensure that the correct timing advance is maintained for each mobile station.

  • Application Note: 2-Cell Test Environment
    Application Note 2-cell Test Environment MD8475A Signalling Tester 1. Background to LTE Rollout Mobile phones appearing in the late 1980s soon experienced rapid evolution of functions from 1990 to 2000 and also spread worldwide as key communications infrastructure. The mobile phone is not limited to just two-way communications between two people but also supports sending and receiving of Short Message Services (SMS), web browsing using the Internet, application and video download, etc., and has become a popular and key cultural tool supporting a fuller lifestyle for many people. Figure 1. Evolution on UE According to one research company, total mobile phone (terminal) shipments at the end of 2010 were valued at $38 billion split between 45% for 2G phones and 49% for 3G. Table 1. Mobile Terminal Shipments Mobile Terminal Shipments ($38 billion total) LTE 1.3% WiMAX 4.0% W-CDMA 40.0% CDMA 9.3% GSM 45.4% 1 MD8475A-E-F-1 The purpose of the shift from 2G to 3G systems was to make more efficient use of frequency bandwidths and was closely related to the explosive growth of the Internet. While still maintaining the easy portability of a mobile phone, users were able to access the information they needed easily at any time and place using the Internet. Similarly to growth of 3G technology, the requirements of LTE systems, which is are positioned in the market as 3.9G to maintain competitiveness with coming 4G systems, are being examined. Connectivity with IP-based core networks must be maintained to support multimedia applications and ubiquitous networks using the packet domain.
