Frame Structure For GSM

Each GSM user is assigned a time slot to transmit data bursts, which can have one of five formats. A normal burst contains 148 bits transmitted at 270.833333 kbps, including 114 information bits split in two parts, a 26-bit midamble training sequence, and control bits. Eight time slots make a 4.615ms frame with 1250 bits, forming 216.66 frames per second grouped into larger structures.

Frame Structure for GSM

Each user transmits a burst of data during the time slot assigned to it. These data bursts may have one
of five specific formats. Normal bursts are used for TCH and DCCH transmissions on both the forward
and reverse link.

 It consists of 148 bits which are transmitted at a rate of 270.833333 kbps (an unused guard time
of 8.25 bits is provided at the end of each burst).
 Out of the total 148 bits per Time Slot(TS).
 114 are information-bearing bits which are transmitted as two 57 bit sequences close to the
beginning and end of the burst.
 The midamble consists of a 26 bit training sequence which allows the adaptive equalizer in the
mobile or base station receiver to analyze the radio channel characteristics before decoding the
user data.
 On either side of the midamble, there are control bits called stealing flags.
 There are eight timeslots per TDMA frame, and the frame period is 4.615 ms.
 A frame contains 8x156.25= 1250 bits, although some bit periods are not used.
 The frame rate is 270.833 kbps/1250 bits/frame, or 216.66 frames per second.
 Each of the normal speech frames are grouped into larger structures called multiframes which
in turn are grouped into superframes.
 One multiframe contains 26 TDMA frames, and one superframe contains 51 multiframes, or
1326 TDMA frames.
 A hyper- frame contains 2048 superframes, or 2,715,648 TDMA frames.
 A complete hyperframe is sent about every 3 hours, 28 minutes, and 54 seconds.
