GSM,GPRS & CDMA Technology
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)
INTRODUCTION
GSM is a mobile telephony network based on the cellular
concept.
Users can place and receive calls without being fixed to a
specific location or wired to a physical connection.
To supply this capability, a GSM network consists of four
Basic components:
•The Mobile Station (MS).
•The Base Station Subsystem (BSS).
•The Network and Switching Subsystem (NSS).
•The Operation and Support Subsystem (OSS).

SIM
1)Mobile Station- A Mobile Station consists of two main
elements i.e mobile equipment or terminal and
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM).
2) The Base Station Subsystem -The BSS connects the
Mobile Station and the NSS.

3) The Network and Switching Subsystem-Its main role is
to manage the communications between the mobile users
and other users, such as mobile users, ISDN users etc.

4) The Operation and Support Subsystem (OSS)-The OSS
is connected to the different components of the NSS and to
the BSC, in order to control and monitor the GSM system.
FUNCTIONS
1)Transmission.

GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE (GPRS)
INTRODUCTION
General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) is a standardized
packet switched data service for GSM.
The GPRS provides us with:
1) Fast coverage rollout, adding packet switching nodes to an
existing GSM network.
2) Efficient use of scarce radio resources
GPRS design is to support burst data transfer.
Two new elements are added to keep packet data traffic
separated from traditional GSM voice and data.
i.e. a) The Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN)
b) The Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN).
The migration path from GSM to GPRS requires:
a) Additional packet switching nodes
b) Software upgrades in the base station subsystem
c) Transmission links can be reused
d) Station Controllers (BSCs) for both GSM and GPRS.

CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS (CDMA)
INTRODUCTION
CDMA is a "spread spectrum" technology, allowing many
users to occupy the same time and frequency allocations in
a given band/space.
The spectral spreading of the transmitted signal gives to
CDMA its multiple access capability.
CDMA is a form of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum

CONCLUSION
GSM has been the catalyst in the tremendous shift in
traffic volume from fixed networks to mobile networks.
GPRS cost is less than circuit- switched services since
communication channels are being used on a shared basis
and also the packets are need-based rather than dedicated
only to one user.
CDMA, for Code Division Multiple Access, is different
than those traditional ways in that it does not allocate
frequency or time in user slots but gives the right to use
both to all users simultaneously.
