In global system for mobile communications (GSM) architecture, the mobile station (MS) communicates with the network server over the air interface. The MS is uniquely identified by an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI). GSM architecture supports both circuit-switched (CS) and packet-switched (PS) services. CS services are analogous to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) while PS services are analogous to the Internet.<\/p>\n

GSM architecture is defined as a system where the radio equipment is separated from the switching equipment. The radio equipment gets its input from the switching equipment and sends its output to the switching equipment. The switching equipment is responsible for switching calls between various radio equipment.<\/p>\n

What are the 3 different types of GSM? <\/h2>\n

The GSM network is divided into three major systems: the switching system (SS), the base station system (BSS), and the operation and support system (OSS). The SS is responsible for call set-up, call routing, and other switching functions. The BSS contains the base transceiver stations (BTSs) that communicate with the mobile phones, and the base station controllers (BSCs) that manage the BTSs. The OSS contains the network elements that manage, monitor, and maintain the network.<\/p>\n

The GSM standard is used by over 80% of mobile devices around the world. It is a reliable and secure way to communicate, and provides good coverage and voice quality. However, it is not as fast as newer standards such as 3G and 4G.<\/p>\n
