GR47/GR48 Technical description

1 Introduction

1.1Overview

The GR47/GR48 belong to a new generation of Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications GSM modules. This document describes the main characteristics and functionality of the GR47/48, two dual band products for 900/1800 MHz and 850/1900 MHz GSM bands respectively.

They are intended to be used in both machine-to-machine applications and man-to-machine applications. The module serves its purpose when there is a need for sending and receiving data (by SMS, CSD, HSCSD, or GPRS), as well as making voice calls over the GSM network.

GR47/GR48 are business-to-business products. It is intended to be sold to manufacturers, system integrators, applications developersdeveloping solutions with wireless communication. The module is intended to be integrated by the system integrator within an application. The module and the external application will form a system for wireless communication.

A typical system is one where a micro controller in an external application communicates with the module over its serial interface. The micro controller will control the module, via the supported set of AT commands. It is assumed that the system integrators have a high technical knowledge and the ability to integrate the module into a system. For the GR47/GR48 modules some interesting applications are the following:

Fleet and Asset Management

Vending Machines

Security and Alarm

Other telemetry applications

GR47/GR48 Technical description

1.2Features

The module performs a set of telecom services (TS) according to GSM standard phase 2+, ETSI and ITU-T. The functions of the module are implemented by issuing AT commands over the serial interface. Supported AT commands are listed in section 5, these are defined further in GSM 7.05/7.07 and the GR47/GR48 integrator’s manual.

GR47/GR48 Technical description

1.2.2 SMS

The module supports the following SMS services:

Sending: MO, both PDU and Text mode supported.

Receiving: MT, both PDU and Text mode supported.

CBM is a service, in which a message is sent to all subscribers located in one or more specific cell(s) in the GSM network, for example, cell location information.

SMS STATUS REPORT according to GSM 03.40.

The maximum length of an SMS message is 160 characters when using 7-bit encoding. For 8-bit data, the maximum length is 140 characters.

The module supports upto 6 concatenated messages to extend this function.

1.2.3Voice calls

The GR47/GR48 offers the capability of MO and MT voice calls, as well as supporting emergency calls. In addition to this multiparty, call waiting and call deflection features are available. Some of these features are operator specific.

The module offers normal analogue input/output lines, analogue audio input/ output lines in differential modes, and digital audio interface, with the possibility of accessing internal points within the digital audio lines. Moreover, the GR47/GR48 have an embedded echo canceller and noise suppression, which provide high quality audio.

The module supports HR, FR and EFR voice coding, provided that

EFR is available in the network.

1.2.4 Data

The module supports the following data protocols:

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). The modules are Class B Terminals, which provides simultaneous activation and attach of GPRS and GSM services. The GR47/GR48 modules are GPRS 4+1 devices, which are capable of transmitting in one timeslot per frame (uplink), and receiving in a maximum of four timeslots per frame (downlink).

Circuit Switched Data (CSD). GR47/GR48 modules are capable of establishing a circuit switch data link at 9.6 kbps.

High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD). GR47/GR48 supports HSCSD communication, with one timeslot per frame capacity in the uplink and two timeslots per frame capacity in the downlink (2+1).
