Most of the cellular systems use the technique of TDMA to transmit and receive speech signals. With TDMA, one carrier is used to carry a number of calls, each call using that carrier at designated periods in time. These periods of time are referred to as time slots. Each MS on a call is assigned one time slot on the up link frequency and one on the down link frequency. Information sent during one time slot is called a burst. In GSM, a TDMA frame consists of 8 time slots. This means that a GSM radio carrier can carry 8 calls.
