Physical Channel
The carrier number and the repetitive time slot number determine Physical Channel (e.g.) time
slot 3 on carrier number 4. The duration of timeslot in GSM is 577 micro secs (15/26 ms). The
transmission is digital and is in bursts and hence in GSM, physical channel, timeslot and burst
refer to the same.
Logical Channel
The content or message of physical channel is logical channel. One or more logical channels can
be mapped to one physical channel. For example, on one of the physical channel used for
traffic,traffic is sent by using TCH (traffic channel) message while a handover message is
transmitted using FACCH (Fast Associated Control Channel message).
• Traffic channels TCH
• Broadcast channels BCH
• Common Control Channels CCCH.
• Dedicated Control Channels DCCH.
