IntroductionGrowing interest in mobile data applications lead a cause of GSM toGPRS
GPRS a 2.5 G system allows the transmission of packet data at
moderate bit rates using random access channels within the 2Ginfrastructure.Mobile applications contain several characteristics that enhance thevalue to the customers Like
mobility(constant voice & data services while on the move)immediacy (obtaining connectivity when needed, regardless oflocation and without a lengthy login session). localization (allows subscribers to obtain information ontheir current location) 3

Introduction cont.
GPRS Protocol Stack is important as a migration steptoward third-generation (3G) networks.
When GSM operators start to offer GPRS services, theycan use their existing networks and gradually assignpart of their resources from circuit-switched voiceservices to packet-switched data services.
This allows a smooth transition from voice-only tomultimedia service networks.

GPRS BACKGROUND Enable new & existing applications onto GSM
Enhancement of GSMs functional & QoS parameter.
GPRS shall support both connectionless & connection orientedservices.
Offer flexible service at low cost to the user.
Use scarce network resources as efficiently as possible

GPRS BACKGROUND cont The GPRS operator shall be responsible fortransferring data between the service access pointsat the fixed side and at the mobile side. The flow ofdata shall be possible in three scenarios.
1. Packets sent from a mobile access point to afixed network access point.
2. Packets sent from a fixed network access pointto a mobile access point.3. Packets sent from a mobile access point to a
mobile access point via the GSM operator

Principles of GPRSUsers specifically need a mobile phone or terminal supporting GPRS ,subscription to a network.
GPRS network resources accessed only when data actually need to be
transmitted between the GPRS user and the network.
Data are divided into packets and then transmitted via the radio & coreGPRS network.
Packet switched traffic is separated from circuit switched traffic atBSC & diverted to GPRS core network.

GPRS use GMSK modulation scheme.
Information is coded in the increase(+ve shift) or (-ve shift) of thecarrier phase.
In GMSK ,initially signal passed through pre-modulation Gaussianfilter for pulse-shaping.

Frequency reuse factorError coding scheme(CS)Data packet delay
Strong channel coding : convolutional code recovers most of thetransmission errors. However , the effective throughput of data packetsis small due to the low code rate.
Weak channel coding : Each RLC block carries a high payload & thewhole RLC block has to be retransmitted.

GPRS Limitations & Security AspectsTheoretical maximum GPRS data transmission speed only when a userutilize eight timeslots without any protection.
Bandwidth available to a GPRS user is severely limited.
Misuse of their resources by unauthorized persons using manipulatedmobile stations.
Eaves-dropping the information being exchanged on the radio path.

MS authentication: Protection of GPRS subscribers by denyingintruders the ability to impersonate authorized users
Access Control: Network can support restrictions on access by or to
different subscriber e.g. location, screening lists etc.
User Identity Confidentiality: User identity is not disclosed tounauthorized individuals, entities or processes.
User Information Confidentiality: the property that the userinformation is not made available or disclosed to unauthorisedindividuals, entities or processes. The purpose is to provide for
confidentiality of user data. 13

INTRODUCING EDGE EDGE is an enhanced version of GPRSusing a different modulation technique, eight-level
Phase Shift Keying (8PSK), that has a spectralefficiency of 3bits/s/Hz in comparison of GMSKs1bit/s/Hz.For this reason EDGE requires a hardware upgrade of
the RF part in the base stations.

Conclusion and Future WorkGPRS allows network operators to implement an IP-based corearchitecture for data applications, which continues to be used andexpanded upon in 3G services for integrated voice and dataapplications
Speed is still not fulfilling the demand of customers.Advancement in GPRS system will be the use of improved codingtechniques.
GPRS proves to be a testing & development area for new services &application which will be used for 3G services.

Conclusion and Future Work
,GPRS/EDGE acts as transition technique towards 3G& a great need of UMTS/GSM dual-mode.
But UMTS operators can not start planning from zerosince the best solution is that the existing GSM basestation sites are to be the primary sites for UMTS basestations.
