Channel and TRX Mapping On GSM
Channel and TRX Mapping On GSM
On GSM, each cell have TRX, typically one BTS have 3 cell. Each TRX carrying
channel for TCH, signalling and packet data.
One TRX divided into 8 sub timeslot. Each sub timeslot have a 16 kbps and can be
configure as BCCH channel, or traffic channel (voice and data). BCCH configure
only one in a cell, and configure in first TRX on first channel.
For, BTS with 3 sector and each sector have 4 trx, we can see the timeslot
mapping below.
1 E1 divided in to 32 timeslot, from 0 to 31 and the capacity is 64 kbps. for
timeslot 0 used for synchronization and timeslot 16 used for signaling. Each
TRX take 2 time slot in E1 system.
