Four Types of Control Data Bursts─Access burst
• The call setup takes place when setting the initial connection using a burst
• The channel in which this burst is sent is called AGCH (access grant channel)─ apart of CCCH (common control channel)

Four Types of Control Data Bursts─Synchronization burst
• Synchronization burst─ of 64 TR bits helps in synchronizing the transmitter and receiver time slots and in timing advance
• The data bits after header and before tail in the burst are [(142 − 64)/2] − 1 = 38 bits in place of 57 bits
• SCH (synchronization channel)─ the channel used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast control channel)

Need for synchronization
• The TR bits help the receiver in correcting path changes
• All the MSs that are communicating with the BTS must be synchronized
• The total time durations of forward and return paths vary, as some MSs are closer than the others

Need for synchronization
• A timing advance required for synchronization when a BTS receives a signal from a far off MS compared to a short distance MS
• The advance is of maximum 0.24 ms (63 × 3.692 µs period for 63 bits, because each bit is transmitting in a 3.692 µs interval

Four Types of Control Data Bursts─Frequency correction burst
• Corrects the carrier frequency• In place of the TR, S, and user data bits, a
142-bit sequence between H and T is deployed
• FCCH (frequency correction channel)─The channel for this burst sent, a part of BCCH

Need for frequency correction
• A deviation in the frequency of a radio carrier possible
• Interference with the neighbouring channel frequency possible
• During synchronous data transmission), the receiver must synchronize the clock rate according to the incoming data bits

Traffic Data Channel─ Voice coding
• Using a codec (coder–decoder)• A circuit that codes analog signals into
digital signals and decodes digital signals into analog according to various coding and decoding algorithms

Three type of voice traffic
• TCH/FS (traffic channel/full rate set for transmission)
• TCH/HS (traffic channel/half rate set for transmission)
• TCH/EFR (traffic channel/enhanced full rate set for transmission)

Three type of voice traffic
• Due to large number of subscribers at a base station, the GSM specifications provide for the traffic rates of 14.4 kbps, 9.6 kbps and 4.8 kbps also
![Page 15: GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels GSM and … and Similar Architectures ... used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast ... GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels.

TCH/FS
• Voice coded with a codec (coder–decoder) at 13 kbps
• Additional bits appended after coding, the data rate is enhanced to 22.8 kbps when transmitting at full speed
![Page 16: GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels GSM and … and Similar Architectures ... used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast ... GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels.

TCH/HS
• Coded with a codec at 5.6 kbps and after the error correction bits the data rate is enhanced to 11.4 kbps and transmission takes place at half speed
• The available data rate is 22.8 kbps
![Page 17: GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels GSM and … and Similar Architectures ... used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast ... GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels.

TCH/HS advantage
• Double voice signals can now be transmitted
• However this sort of voice data results in degradation of voice quality
![Page 18: GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels GSM and … and Similar Architectures ... used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast ... GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels.

TCH/EFR
• Coded with another enhanced coding technique employing a codec
• EFR gives at enhanced voice quality but has limited error correction bits because the data rate is limited to 12.8 kbps
![Page 19: GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels GSM and … and Similar Architectures ... used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast ... GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels.

TCH/EFR advantage
• The voice quality upgraded in those cases where the transmission error rate is small
• A codec may function in automatic mode and code the voice as TCH/FS
• TCH/EFR depending on the transmission error rate detected in the bursts

Control Data Channels
• The 184-bit packet from data link layer• Formatted for the data burst bits• The 184-bits added with 40 parity bits, 4
tail bits, and 224 half-convolution coding bits
• Total result in the 456-bit packet (Multiple of 114 bit in a data burst)

DCCH (dedicated control channels)
• An MS sends TCH traffic only after a call setup
• A bi-directional communication channel present between the BTS and MS before the TCH traffic starts
• Called standalone DCCH (SDCCH)
![Page 22: GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels GSM and … and Similar Architectures ... used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast ... GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels.

SADCCH (slow associated dedicated control channel)
• Used for the registration, authentication, and other requirements
• Total 782 bits sent as dedicated control channel data in 1 s in case of slow associated standalone DCCH (SADCCH)
• 950 bps can be sent as a control data slot in a traffic multiframe
![Page 23: GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels GSM and … and Similar Architectures ... used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast ... GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels.

FACCH (fast associated control channel) with TCH
• When more than 782 bits are to be sent per second, then the TCH part of the data bursts can be used
• Then DCCH is called FACCH (fast associated control channel)

BCCH (broadcast control channel)
• A BTS needs to broadcast the frequency and cell identity
• A BTS needs to broadcast the information regarding frequencies and sequence options for hopping that can be assigned to the MSs in the cell to all the MSs
• BCCH used for that
![Page 25: GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels GSM and … and Similar Architectures ... used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast ... GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels.

BCCH (broadcast control channel)
• Enables an MS to get an available radio-carrier frequency channel and transmit with different frequencies on different hops and synchronize with the BTS
• The synchronization and frequency correction bursts also use the BCCH

CCCH (common control channel)
• A BTS (when granting access to an MS so that MS can use either SDCCH or TCH) uses a channel called AGCH (access grant channel)
• After the access is granted, the call setup or call forwarding can take place
• The control channel used for such purposes is called a CCCH

CCCH
• When call setup requirements are transmitted from the MS, CCCH called RACH (random access channel)
![Page 28: GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels GSM and … and Similar Architectures ... used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast ... GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels.

RACH
• Data burst format─ during 577 µs in place of the (H, user data, S, TR, S, user data, and T) sequence, a 145-bit sequence is modified as 8 H bits, 41 synchronization bits, 36 bits user data and 3 T bits (total 88 bits).
• The guard-space time intervals are now equal to (68.25 × 3.692)/2 = 126 µs before H and after T bits

PCH (paging channel)
• When call-forwarding information transmits from the BTS, the CCCH is called PCH

Paging Example
• Transmission of information to a select target MS for example, the identity of the caller of an incoming call to the MS to which the call is to be forwarded

AGCH (access grant channel).
• When access granting information is transmitted from the BTS, the CCCH is called AGCH

Control Multiframes
• A control multiframe 51 data frames• A control multiframe transmit in 51× 4.615
ms = 235.4 ms• A traffic multiframe transmits in 120 ms
![Page 33: GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels GSM and … and Similar Architectures ... used of this burst, a part of BCCH (broadcast ... GSM Traffic and Control Data Channels.

Superframe
• After formatting, a super frame can have 51 traffic multiframes of 120 ms each or 26 control multiframes of 235.4 ms each
• A super frame, therefore, transmits in 26 ×235.4 ms or 51 × 120 ms, both equal 6.12 s

Hyperframe
• Consists of 2048 superframes• Transmits in 2048 × 6.12 s = 12533.76 s ≈
3½ hours

Use of sequence number s in Hyperframe
• s = 0 to (2048 × 26 × 51) – 1 slots in a hyperframe) to each 4.615 ms data frame
• s encrypted along with the data so that after decryption, the original frame number can be recovered for sequential arrangement of data

Use of sequence number in Hyperframe
• Since the frames sequentially transmitted through the 8 TDMA time slots, the s alsohelps in identifying the original time slot of a given data burst
