Forward Channels
Reverse Channels

For internal circulation of BSNL only

Compiled by AIGETOA Chennai ( www.aigetoachtd.org )

Forward Channels
Forward pilot channel (F_PICH)
Base station uses this channel to transmit the pilot
signals
Guide the mobile stations to access the network.
Forward sync channel (F-SYNCH)
System time and frame synchronization
information are sent to MS

For internal circulation of BSNL only

Compiled by AIGETOA Chennai ( www.aigetoachtd.org )

Forward Channels
Forward paging channel (F-PCH)
Paging, command and traffic channel allocation
information
Forward quick paging channel (F-QPCH)
Base station quickly instruct MS about time slot to
receive the control message on F-PCH or FCCCH.
MS need not to monitor F-PCH or F-CCCH time
slot all the time, so it saves much battery.
