Physical Layer l1
GSM use TDMA with FDMA as an access method. Multiple frequencies are used with each frequency divided in (time) slots. Group of these slots is la eled as one !frame!. These frames are further "rouped to form multi#frame$ super#frame$ and hyper#frame. This frame arran"ement is ase physical structure.
