IntroductionGMR stands for GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) Mobile Radio interface, which is used for mobile satellite services(MSS) utilising geostationary satellite(s). GMR is derived from the terrestrial digital cellular standard GSM andsupports access to GSM core networks.

Due to the differences between terrestrial and satellite channels, some modifications to the GSM standard are necessary.Some GSM specifications are directly applicable, whereas others are applicable with modifications. Similarly, someGSM specifications do not apply, while some GMR specifications have no corresponding GSM specification.

Since GMR is derived from GSM, the organization of the GMR specifications closely follows that of GSM. The GMRnumbers have been designed to correspond to the GSM numbering system. All GMR specifications are allocated aunique GMR number as follows:

GMR-n xx.zyy

where:

- xx.0yy (z = 0) is used for GMR specifications that have a corresponding GSM specification. In this case, thenumbers xx and yy correspond to the GSM numbering scheme.

- xx.2yy (z = 2) is used for GMR specifications that do not correspond to a GSM specification. In this case,only the number xx corresponds to the GSM numbering scheme and the number yy is allocated by GMR.

- n denotes the first (n = 1) or second (n = 2) family of GMR specifications.

ETSI

ETSI TS 101 377-1-1 V1.1.1 (2001-03)7GMR-2 01.004

A GMR system is defined by the combination of a family of GMR specifications and GSM specifications as follows:

• If a GMR specification exists it takes precedence over the corresponding GSM specification (if any). Thisprecedence rule applies to any references in the corresponding GSM specifications.

NOTE: Any references to GSM specifications within the GMR specifications are not subject to this precedencerule. For example, a GMR specification may contain specific references to the corresponding GSMspecification.

• If a GMR specification does not exist the corresponding GSM specification may or may not apply. Theapplicability of the GSM specifications are defined in GMR-n 01.201.

Annex A (informative):Terminology translator

Table A.1: GSM/GMR-2 system terminology translator

Existing GSM Acronym Equivalent GMR-2 Acronym and MeaningBTS GTS = Gateway Transceiver Subsystem

This comprises the Gateway Antenna and Radio (GAR)subsystem and the Traffic Channel Equipment (TCE)

BSC GSC = Gateway Station Controller

BSS (= BTS + BSC) GWS = GateWay Subsystem

MSC MSC

BSS + MSC GW = GateWay (GWS + MSC)

PLMN PSMN = Public Satellite Mobile Network.In practice the PSMN is the part of the core network thatlinks the Gateway (GW) to the Public Land Mobile Network(PLMN).

MS MES = Mobile Earth Station
