Some transmission issues of the GSM PLMN
Heinz Ochsner · 8th European Conference on Electrotechnics, Conference Proceedings on Area Communication · 2003
The author addresses the end-to-end transmission performance of speech and data connections involving a GSM (CEPT's Groupe Special Mobile) mobile radio link. The impact of the various GSM subsystems and features on transmission parameters is discussed and the resulting transmission planning implications for both mobile and fixed network operators are outlined. The author concludes that careful transmission planning will result in almost unnoticeable performance differences of most mobile conversations as compared to the fixed network.>
