As shown in the figure-4. RF transmitters change the frequency for each and
every burst. It is possible to hop on multiple frequencies even greater than
number of transceivers available in the system. As hybrid combiners are used for
connecting transmitters, loss will be higher compare to baseband hopping type.
For each burst new set of synthesizer frequency is used to generate new RF
carrier frequency. The PN sequence is known to both the transmitter and receiver
and hence easy to recover the data transmitted using frequency hopping
sequence.
It means it has tuned frequency as per FCCH and time as per SCH burst.
Information here in this FCCH is all zeros which produces continuous sine wave
of about 67.7 KHz above the RF carrier centre frequency, This helps mobile(UE)
synchronize with the GSM Base station, READ MORE.
SCH carry frame number and BSIC (Base Station Identity Code) which helps
Mobile synchronize with GSM frame structure as well as helps in identification of
the Base station in the GSM network, READ MORE.
RACH is used in mobile originated call while PCH is used in mobile terminated
call at the start.

As described in GSM protocol stack, messages flow between both mobile and
network at various layers(layer 3,layer 2,layer 1(physical layer). The message
flow is self explanatory to establish the circuit switched mobile originated(MO)
call in GSM.
Mobile Originated Call Release
The figure above mentions messages exchanged between mobile and network
for call release.
