Support for data transmission, originally limited to 9.6 kbps but later improved through upgrades like GPRS and EDGE .
GSM uses a layered protocol structure for communication between the mobile station and the network:
Handles the radio link with mobile devices. It includes the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) , which contains the radio transmitters and receivers, and the Base Station Controller (BSC) , which manages radio resources and handovers for multiple BTSs. GSM – Architecture, Protocols and Services
A temporary database storing information for subscribers currently roaming in its area.
Uses modified versions of LAPD (called LAP-Dm) for the air interface and SS7 protocols (MTP) for the network interface. Layer 3 (Network): Divided into three sublayers: Support for data transmission, originally limited to 9
The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is the foundational standard for second-generation (2G) digital cellular networks. It was developed to provide a unified digital mobile system that facilitates seamless international roaming and secure voice and data services.
Uses the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) to store unique identity information. Security is maintained through a challenge-response authentication mechanism and over-the-air encryption using algorithms like A5. It was developed to provide a unified digital
A permanent database containing subscriber profiles and their last known location.
