GSM - definition
GSM stands for “Global System for Mobile”. GSM is a wireless mobile communication standard that describes the architecture and working process of the 2G (Second Gen.) mobile network. GSM showed a significant improvement over the 1G network.
It also transformed mobile communication from analog to digital. GSM is the most widely used mobile network standard supported by more or less all the countries around the globe. Though there are several successors have arrived such as 3G, 4G, and 5G but still, 2G is used as a backup option for any of the carriers, in case there is no coverage for 4G or 5G network then it allows people to make calls and use data over the internet.
The GSM has four (4) main parts in the network architecture that are:
1.Network and Switching Subsystem (NSS)
2.Base-Station Subsystem (BSS)
3.Mobile Station (MS)
4.Operation and Support Subsystem (OSS)
