What is Tele-Communication ?
• Tele means DISTANCE and Communication
means INFORMATION TRANSFER
• So transfer of information between two or more
entities which may be far apart is called as Tele-
Communication
Types of Communication tech.
• Wireline
• Wireless
Communication Path
• Wireline
– Physical layout of wires or optical fiber cables between
entities . A physical contact is essential between the
peer entities for communication
• Wireless
– NO Physical connectivity is required . Communication is
done through radio links ( Electro Magnetic Waves ) and
repeaters ( CELL SITES) are placed in between peer
entities for efficient communication
What does one expects
from Wireless ?
• Lower cost
• Roaming
• Better service and coverage
• NO dropped calls
• Enhanced Privacy
• NO Speech Clipping
• NO Echo
Wireless
• It is type of communication technology where
electromagnetic waves carry the signal (voice and
data) on whole or part of communication path.

CELL
• CELL is the geographical area covered
by a cell site .
• All the receivers (handsets) in this
particular area respond to this cell site
i.e. they receives and transmits signal
to a particular cell only
Cellular principles
• Frequency reuse – same frequency in
many cell sites
• Cellular expansion – easy to add new
cells
• Handover – moving between cells
• Roaming between networks

• In Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), the frequency
band is not partitioned but users are allowed to use it only in
predefined intervals of time, one at a time.
• Each caller is assigned a specific time slot for transmission
• Many conversations are multiplexed into a single channel

How GSM works ?
• GSM works on the principle of
FD MA + TDM A
• This means the bandwidth allotted is
firstly divided accordingly cell i.e. each
cell region works on different frequency
allotted to it and each cell frequency is
different from the adjacent cells.
This is FDM A
Frequency Re-Use
A frequency (channel) can be used
again within an FDMA or TDMA network,
but cells using the same frequency must
be separated by an appropriate
distance. Adjacent cells must be
assigned a different set of frequencies.
For example, a cell using frequency A
must not be adjacent to another cell
using frequency A.
So each cell works at a particular
frequency and now this frequency is
divided in time slots i.e. each user is
given a specified time in which data of
that respective user is transferred .
Thi s is TD MA
Wireless in Local Loop
• WLL is also a standard evolved
and used in USA,It is emerging
because of its advantages over
GSM.
• WLL uses CDMA as communication
technique
CDMA
• Code Division Multiple Access
• All users share the same frequency
all the time
• To pick out the signal of specific
user, this signal is modulated with a
unique code sequence.
CDMA
CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS
Co de Divis ion means the voice analog
signal is converted into its
corresponding digital signal but this
digital signal is accordingly a unique
code assigned to that user.
SPREAD SPECTRUM
TECHNIQUE
CDMA works on the principle SPREAD
SPECTRUM Technique, which means
that it spreads the information
contained in a particular signal of
interest over a much greater bandwidth
than the original signal i.e. large range
of frequencies are used for information
transfer
Due to Spread Spectrum Technique
Soft Hands-Off
Make before Break
Call Interference leads to
Disturbance , Low Speech, Echo
Signals sent over the air can take a direct
path to the receiver, or they can bounce off
objects and then travel to the receiver. These
different paths, called multi-paths, can result
in the receiver getting several versions of the
same signal but at slightly different times.
Multi-paths can cause a loss of signal through
cancellation in other technologies
GSM
• Coverage
• Capacity
• Clarity
• Cost
• Compatibility
• Coding provide the ability to cover
more users for the same amount of
available power used in other systems.
