1-1 GSM System
1-1-1 Calls
GSM¨is an acronym for Global System for Mobile communications©, using TDMA for wide-area cellular operation. The GSM system consists of the sub-systems shown; The Mobile Station (MS) talks to the Base Station System (BSS) via an RF air interface. The Base Station System (BSS) consists of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and a Base Station Controller (BSC). The microwave link between BTS and BSC is called an Abis interface. Generally one BSC controls 20 to 30 BTSs, and a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) controlling the traffic among different cells would be reported back from a number of BSSs. A Visitor Location Register (VLR) will be allocated to one MSC to find the mobiles out of their home cell by listing them to VLR. The MSC would also be connected to the Home Location Register (HLR), the Authentication Center (AC) and the Equipment Identity Register (EIR) So the system verify that the users and equipment are legal subscriber.
1-1-2 Channels
Channels used in the GSM system can be divided into two classes - Logical and Physical channel. Physical channels can be described in terms of their frequency and time domain characteristics. They are the actual frequencies and timeslots the MS and BS transmits or receives on. The logical channels are mapped onto these physical channels logically. Any particular and instant, physical channels may be control or traffic channels, which determines the function of a physical channel at a particular point in time.

General Description
1-1-5 Logical Channel
TCH (Traffic CH) is used mainly for transferring the speech information, and the BCH (Broadcast CH) is related to control information.The major function of BCH is transferring information on the downlink for MS synchronization, identification, paging, and controll. BCH is always radiated from every cells and the MS tries to find the BCH which has highest level soon after turned on. The organization of BCH is shown belows; FCCH (Frequency Correction Channel), SCH (Synchronization Channel), and BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel). CCCH (Common Control Channel) will play a role like a message board, and is divided into two control channels - PCH (Paging Channel) and AGCH (Access Grant Channel). SACCH (Slow Associated Control Channel) exists every 12 frames, controlling and controls the TX power level and timing advance of MS, transferring cell information to MS on downlink, transferring the information about RX level, Quality, and RX level of adjacent cell on uplink. FACCH (Fast Associated Control Channel) steals and changes the TCH when needing a Handover. SDCCH (Stand-alone Dedicated Control Channel) and RACH (Random Access Channel) operate during the call setup procedure.
