    Zatin Gupta
    GPRS is a technology that allows phones to transfer data at moderate speeds over the 2G GSM network using packet-based wireless communication. It provides continuous internet connections to mobile users at speeds from 56-114kbps. Key features for users include immediate connections without dial-up, new applications, and speeds up to 171kbps. For networks, it features packet switching, spectrum efficiency, and support for TDMA and GSM. GPRS works by dividing information into small packets that are sent separately over radio waves and reassembled at the recipient.

    GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE(GPRS)

    What is GPRS all about?


    Technology that allows your phone to transfer data at moderate speeds. Packet based wireless communication service that promises data rates from 56 upto 114 Kbps. Provides continuous connection to the Internet for mobile phone and computer users.

    Key User Features


    Speed-maximum upto 171.2 kbps Immediacy-instant connections as no dial-up connections needed New and better applications over GSM Service access

    Key Network Features


    Packet switching Spectrum efficiency Internet awareness Supports TDMA and GSM

    GPRS Telephones

    Benefits of GPRS
    GPRS lets you send data faster than a over a GSM data network and its also a lot more efficient

    GPRS Architecture

    GPRS architecture consists of:Gateway GPRS support node(GGSN) Serving GPRS support node(SGSN)

    How GPRS works?

    Working
    Information is firstly divided into small packets which are send separately over a radio wave on the GSM network. On arrival at the recipient the packets are again connected together into understandable information.

    Limitations
    Limited cell capacity for all users Speed much lower in reality Support of GPRS mobile terminate by terminals is not ensured Suboptimal modulation Transit delays No store and forward

    Timescales for GPRS


    Launched in 1999,gained importance in the year 2001 and the end of 2002 GPRS was routinely incorporated into GSM mobile phones and has reached critical mass in terms of usage.
