Mobile phone industry in the United States

:brand of T-Mobile US, MetroPCS currently operate using its own CDMA and LTE networks, but plans to eventually migrate towards using T-Mobile's GSM, HSPA+, and LTE networks.

Mobile phones on aircraft

The multitude of incompatible mobile phone systems in the United States and some other countries makes the situation more difficult — it is not clear if the onboard repeaters will be compatible with all of the different cell-phone protocols (TDMA, GSM, CDMA, iDen) and their respective providers.

Following OnAir's series of tests that showed electromagnetic radiation of onboard GSM mobiles being lower than 1% of the limits endorsed by the World Health Organization and so significantly below radiation levels of common terrestrial emission levels, inflight usage of mobile phones is considered harmless to passengers' health.

Mobile radio

They run on telephony-based infrastructure such as AMPS or GSM.

Mobile Station Roaming Number

A MSRN is assigned for every mobile terminated call, not only the calls where the terminating MS lives on a different MSC than the originating MS. Although this seems unnecessary since many vendors' VLR's are integrated with the MSC, the GSM specification indicates that the MSC and VLR (Visitor Location Register) do not need to reside on the same switch.

Mobile Telephone Switching Office

As a mob unit engaged in a call moves away from a cell site or formally known as Base transceiver station and its signal weakens, the BSC(GSM) or RNC(3G UMTS) will automatically instruct it to tune to a different frequency, one assigned to the newly entered BTS.

Multipath propagation

In digital radio communications (such as GSM) multipath can cause errors and affect the quality of communications.

Network Norway

2008 saw the commercial launch of their GSM-900 network, which covers the greater Oslo area, as well as the cities of Stavanger and Trondheim.

These Doppler shifts correspond to velocities of about 6 km/h (4 mph) and 60 km/h (40 mph) respectively at 1800 MHz, one of the operating frequencies for GSM mobile phones.

Residual bit error rate

In digital transmission schemes, including cellular telephony systems such as GSM, a certain percentage of received data will be detected as containing errors, and will be discarded.
