STARTER:
Have you ever wondered how a Mobile Network works? Have a look at the following article and feedback to a friend when you have read it What is GSM?
TASK:
What's all the fuss about?
"some people are concerned that their health and well-being are being put at risk by mobile phone radiation..."
In pairs, investigate what experts say about the possible health risks posed by mobile phone networks/usage.
 |
| Class Discussion |
Think carefully about where you are geting your information from.. Is it biased? Who might have an interest in keeping this quiet...?
TASK 2:
Research the mobile phone coverage in your own postcode...
- Define differences between GPRS, GSM, EDGE and 3G mobile data networks and how they affect what you can effectively do with your mobile phone.
- Which parts of the country have access to high speed data networks? Which don’t? Why is this?
- Are people in areas with limited/no access disadvantaged? (Exam 6 mark question)
- Talk about newer technologies such as HSPA and 4G which greatly improve the speed at which mobile phone networks provide online access.
Save this into your Unit 1 folder as Networks and Coverage
PLENARY:
Is what you have learnt today going to change the way that you use your mobile phone?
HOMEWORK:
Showmyhomework.com - Design a leaflet providing 'how to' advice on safe/responsible disposal of old mobile phones
I learned that a particular path is set up for each call and that path will be dedicated to the session until it's end.
ReplyDeleteGSM (Global System for Mobile Telecommunication) is the standard or protocol that is used for transferring voice and data (SMS) in the mobile phone network. This technology offers speeds of a maximum of 14.4 kbps. Practical speeds achieved are lower. GSM uses circuit switching for its data transfers (both voice and text messages).

i have learnt that GMS stands for (Global System for Mobile Telecommunication) and is used for transferring voice and data in the mobile phone network.
ReplyDeleteGSM is responsible for sending voice or messages in the mobile phone network. It stands for Global System for Mobile telecommunication.
ReplyDeleteGSM is the procedure for calls and transfering data in the mobile phone network
ReplyDeleteGSM also uses circuit switching to transfer the data like calls and texts
protocol used for transferring voice and data in the mobile phone network.
ReplyDeleteGeneral Packet Radio Service is abbreviated as GPRS. Put in simple terms, it is a technology that allows the GSM networks to transfer data at speeds of about 56 to 114 kbps (kilobits per second). GPRS is a standard or protocol which uses the existing GSM networks to send and receive data, but at faster speeds than the original circuit switching network. It transfers data in the form of packets. Hence it is a packet-switching topping over the existing circuit switching network. Emily

I have learn't that GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Telecommunications.
ReplyDeleteGSM has a maximum data transfer speed of 14.4 kbps.
GSM (2G) is no longer used in modern phones today.
General Packet Radio Service also known as GPRS is used today, this lets you transfer data at speeds of 56 to 114 kbps (kilobits per second).
Recently 4G has been released and uses speeds of 100 megabits per second while a user moves at high speeds, such as being on a train, and a one gigabit per second data rate in a fixed position.

ReplyDeleteBTS - Base Transceiver System. Each of these masts handle mobile phone calls within a certain radius around it. The area that each BTS serves is called a cell.
BSC - Base Station Controller. This BSC is in charge of allocating radio channels, administrating the frequencies, handing over the call from one BTS to another if the mobile phone user is travelling.
MSC - Mobile Switching Centre. In the mobile phone network, the MSC is equivalent to a telephone exchange in the fixed line network. It is linked with many BSCs. It is concerned with location management, handovers, routing calls to roaming mobile stations, authentication and so on. It also routes calls between the landline telephone and the mobile phone network.
GSM means Global Service for Messaging, its the standard form used for phone calls or texting.

GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is a digital mobile telephony system. GSM digitizes and compresses data, then sends it down a channel with two other streams of user data, each in its own time slot. It operates at either the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz frequency band.

i agree
ReplyDeleteIn GSM (2G), the available set of frequencies are divided into slots (FDMA - Frequency Division Multiple Access). Each of these slots are used for serving calls. The concept of TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) came in a little later after FDMA. In TDMA, the frequency slots are divided again into time slots for supporting more number of calls simultaneously. Earlier a frequency slot was allotted completely to a call. With TDMA, the same frequency slot is allotted to multiple calls. Each call is given a fixed time frame for data transfer. The calls are served cyclically. All this happens at high speed. Therefore the voices will sound continuous to the caller and callee (However, a slight delay might be present). See the diagram below. A set of frequencies have been allotted to 3 calls - Call 1, Call 2 and Call 3 (indicated by their respective colours). The first 10 milliseconds have been allotted to Call 1. Hence the network will serve this call during this time. The next 10 milliseconds have been allotted to Call 2, and the third 10 milliseconds, to Call 3. After this, again, Call 1 will be served, then Call 2 and then Call 3 and so on.
