Secure data over GSM based on algebraic codebooks

This paper considers the problem of secure data communication through the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). The algebraic codebook method for data transmission through the Adaptive Multi Rate 12.2Kbps voice channel is investigated and its maximum achievable data rate is calculated. Based on the vocoder channel properties, the method´s Bit Error Rate (BER) performance is improved by repetition coding and classification methods. Simulation results show that by simultaneous application of repetition coding and clustering methods, the decoder´s performance improves about 6.5% compared to the case of no clustering for 1Kbps data communication in AMR 4.75 voice codec.
