Discontinuous TransmissionDTX

Two aims can be achieved by adopting DTX mode.

Lower the total interference level in the air Save transmitter power.

The DTX mode and the normal mode are optional, since the former will slightly lower the transmission quality.

Diversity receiving

The diversity reception technology is usually introduced to the GSM system to receive on several tributaries the signals with little relativity but carrying the same information and then output the signals after they are combined.

In this way, the impact of fading on the stability of receiving signals can be decreased.

Types:
Space Diversity Frequency Diversity Time Diversity Polarization Diversity

Timing AdvanceTA

In the GSM, because TDMA is adopted in the air interface,

the MS must employ the TSs allocated to it only, and remain inactive in other TSs. Otherwise, it may affect the

MSs using other TSs on the same carrier.

It does not work, Let MS send me By one TA in advance
