GSM
Second Generation for Mobile System. Digital System. Efficient Use of the Spectrum. Speech privacy and security. Better resistance to interference (Introducing the frequency Hopping) Efficient use of the power battery (Introducing the power control) GSM Networks are called PLMN: Public Land Mobile Networks i.e. the Radio Sites are located on land, not using satellites.

Core Network (NSS: Network Switching System) MSC (Mobile Switching Center)
Routing/Switching of calls between 2 end users within the GSM Network. Charging & Billing. Paging of MSs is originated from the MSC Access to PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) Act as a Gateway for other networks. Controls no. of BSCs connected to it.

Mapping of Logical Channels on the Physical channels Mapping on TS0/BCCH carrier (UL)
TS0 in UL is reserved for the RACH, for the MS to access the system.
