Benefits

Higher data rates
 Using all 8 Packet Data Channels (PDCH) GPRS can achieve
up to 171.2kbps (theoretical maximum)

Packet switched principle
 efficient for burst traffic (e.g., Internet traffic)
 radio channel only be allocated when needed
 spectrum efficiency

User-friendly billing
 payment based on the amount of transmitted data

GPRS
How to implement GPRS from GSM network:
 8 Packet Data Channels (PDCH)
Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN)
Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN)--
GSM terminal change to have a GPRS protocol stack and application software
A Packet Control Unit (PCU) is added to each Base Station Subsystem (BSS)
Radio link Contol
Media Access Control
Radio resource configuration and channel assignment

SGSN

Serving GPRS Support Node
 perform mobility management for GPRS mobile stations
 manage the logical link to mobile stations
 route and transfer packets between mobile stations and the
GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node)
 handle PDP(Packet Data Protocol (IP and X.25)) contexts
 inter-work with the radio resource management in the BSS
 authentication
 charging (billing customers)
GPRS: General Packet Radio Service
GGSN

Gateway GPRS Support Node
 function as a border gateway between the GPRS network and
the packet data network (e.g., IP and X.25)
 set up communications with the packet data network
 route and tunnel packets to and from the SGSN
 mobility management
 authentication
 charging

Services

Bearer services
 PTP(Point-To-Point)
– transfer data packets between two users
– connectionless mode (e.g., for IP)
– connection-oriented mode (e.g., for X.25)
 PTM(Point-To-Multi-point): not available yet
– transfer data packets from one user to multiple users
– multicast service
– group call service

Supplementary services
 call forwarding unconditional

Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE)






200 kHz carrier spacing
Reach up to 384kbps
8 TDMA time-slot
Modulation Format
8-PSK as opposed to GMSK (in GPRS, HSCSD)
 8-PSK:encodes 3 bits per modulated symbol
GMSK: 1 bit per symbol
Edge transceiver unit need to be added to each cell
Edge terminal--upgrade to use EDGE network
functionality
EDGE System Architecture
GPRS: General Packet Radio Service
UMTS

384 kbps data capability to satisfy the IMT-2000 requirements
for pedestrian(microcell) and low speed vehicular (macrocell)
environments .

144 kbps data capability for high speed vehicular environment

2 Mbps requirement for indoor office is met by using wide band
EDGE (1.6 MHz) carrier
GPRS: General Packet Radio Service
Path Suggested
GSM Path to 3G
HSCSD is not necessary. GPRS is already available.
GPRS is ten times faster than HSCSD.
GPRS expect to be able to offer higher data rates without building too
many new sites.
EDGE follows GPRS and allow a quick and cheap rollout of fast mobile service.
GSM->GPRS->EDGE->UMTS:
smooth evolution
cost-effective
Conclusion
GPRS will be deployed cost-effectively in GSM first.
EDGE will follow GPRS to be deployed as a quick and cheap
rollout of fast mobile service.
UMTS will finally be deployed upon EDGE.
