This page on GSM tutorial covers GSM frame structure including concept of slot, frame, multiframe, superframe and hyperframe.It covers both 51 frame multiframe and 26 frame multiframe structure of GSM.
GSM frame structure or frame hierarchy
In GSM frequency band of 25 MHz is divided into 200 KHz of smaller bands, each carry one RF carrier,this gives 125 carriers.As one carrier is used as guard channel between GSM and other frequency bands124 carriers are useful RF channels.This division of frequency pool is called FDMA.Now each RF carrier will have eight time slots. This division time wise is called TDMA.Here each RF carrier frequency is shared between 8 users hence in GSM system, the basic radio resource is atime slot with duration of about 577 microsec. As mentioned each time slot has 15/26 or 0.577ms of time duration.This time slot carries 156.25 bits which leads to bit rate of 270.833 kbps.This is explained below in TDMA gsm frame structure.For E-GSM number of ARFCNs are 174, for DCS1800 ARFNCs are 374.
The GSM frame structure is designated as hyperframe, superframe, multiframe and frame.The minimum unit being frame (or TDMA frame) is made of 8 time slots.
One GSM hyperframe composed of 2048 superframes.
Each GSM superframe composed of multiframes (either 26 or 51 as described below).
Each GSM multiframe composed of frames (either 51 or 26 based on multiframe type).
Each frame composed of 8 time slots.
Hence there will be total of 2715648 TDMA frames available in GSM and the same cycle continues.

As shown in the figure 2 below, there are two varients to multiframe structure.
1. 26 frame multiframe - Called traffic multiframe,composed of 26 bursts in a duration of 120ms, out of these 24 are used for traffic, one for SACCH and one is not used.
2. 51 frame multiframe- Called control multiframe,composed of 51 bursts in a duration of 235.4 ms.
This type of multiframe is divided into logical channels. These logical channels are time sheduled by BTS.Always occur at beacon frequency in time slot 0, it may also take up other time slots if required by systemfor example 2,4,6.
As shown in fig 3. each ARFCN or each channel in GSM will have 8 time slots TS0 to TS7.During network entry each GSM mobile phone is allocated one slot in downlink and one slot in uplink.Here in the figure GSM Mobile is allocated 890.2 MHz in the uplink and 935.2 MHz in the downlink.As mentioned TS0 is allocated which follows either 51 or 26 frame multiframe structure.Hence if at start 'F' is depicted which is FCCH after 4.615 ms (which is 7 time slot duration) S(SCH) will appear then after another 7 slots B(BCCH)will appear and so on till end of 51 frame Multiframe structure is completed andcycle continues as long as connection between Mobile and base station is active.similarly in the uplink, 26 frame multiframe structure follow, where T is TCH/FS (Traffic channel for full rate speech),and S is SACCH. The gsm frame structure can best be understood as depicted in the figure below with respect to downlink(BTS to MS) and uplink(MS to BTS) directions.
Fig.3 GSM Physical and logical channel concept
Frequencies in the uplink = 890.2 + 0.2 (N-1) MHz
Frequencies in the downlink = 935.2 + 0.2 (N-1) MHz
where, N is from 1 to 124 called ARFCN
As same antenna is used for transmit as well as receive, there is 3 time slots delay introduced between TS0 of uplink and TSO of downlink frequency.This helps avoid need of simultaneous transmission and reception by GSM mobile phone.The 3 slot time period is used by the Mobile subscriber to perform various functionse.g. processing data, measuring signal quality of neighbour cells etc.
Engineers working in GSM should know gsm frame structure for both the downlink as well as uplink.They should also understand mapping of different channels to time slots in these gsm frame structures.
