Mobile station
Mobile Equipment (ME): the phone including
transmitter, receiver, etc.
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM): a smart card that
stores the subscribers ID number, the networks the
subscriber is authorized to use, encryption keys, etc.
Thus a subscriber needs only carry his or her SIM to
use a wide variety of subscriber devices in many
countries. The SIMs roam, not the phones. (The US
is different from most other countries. In the US,
service providers lock the phones because they
subsidize them.)

Speech Coding
Speech coding is used to compress the data
(reduce the data sent). This will increase the
speed of transmission.
It uses previous data samples to predict current
sample.
Analog voice is transformed into 13 kbps digital
signal.
Adding error-detection and error-correction
coding brings the transmission rate to 22.8 kbps.
Data rate: 9.6, 4.8 or 2.4 kbps.

Frequency Hopping
A slow frequency hopping: 216 hop/s
To compensate multipath (frequency
selective) fading
To reduce the cochannel interference
