  • Global Standard for Mobile Communications
  • Protocol Basics
    • Circuit switched, based on TDMA
    • Uses GMSK modulation -- A form of MSK that avoids AM
    • Channel Bandwidth is 200 kHz
    • One carrier-channel is divided into 8 timeslots=one frame each slot with length 577 μs
      1 timeslot = 1 burst 148 data + 8.25 guard bits 577 μs
      1 frame 8 bursts 4.615 ms
      1 51(26) multiframe 51(26) frames 235.38(120) ms
      1 superframe 51x26(26x51)-multiframes 6.12 s
      1 hyperframe 2048 multiframes 12533.76 s
    • A connection uses one time-slot i.e. one physical channel ==> data-rate = 22.8 b/s
