GSM 1. GSM working on three bands are 900 MHz 1800 MHz 1900 MHz PCS USA 2.

Uplink frequency 890 915 MHz Down frequency 935 - 960 MHz 3.Mulitiple access techniques used in GSM are FDMA TDMA 4. Data Frequency Used in GSM 25 MHz 5.Toatal Carriers Used in GSM 125 Carriers 6.Each Carrier Frequency in GSM 200KHz 7.Each Carrier data rate 270.8 Kbps 9.Modulation used in GSM GMSK (Gaussian Mean Shift Key) 10. Out of 125 carrier only one carrier called ARFCN and it is not used. Rest of the carriers are used . 11. 124 Carriers are divided to 4 GSM operators 124/4 = 31 carriers per GSM operator. 12.Bursting is the periodical switching. 13. GSM using same set of frequency between 2 cell areas. 14. Any mobile phone served by a cell area called mobile phone. 15. Cell pattern is a Group of cells 16.Cell pattern used in GSM 4 cell pattern 7 cell pattern 12 cell pattern 17. BSNL follows 7 cell pattern. 18. Group of cell is called cluster. 19.We must maintain co channel distance. 20.Carrier separation frequency 0.2MHz 21. GSM PLMN LA CLUSTER CELL 22.PLMN Public land mobile net work.
