    GPRS is a new packet-based mobile data service for GSM networks that provides faster data transmission than existing GSM networks. GPRS operates by overlaying a packet-based radio network onto existing GSM cellular infrastructure and uses packet radio principles to transmit data packets more efficiently. Compared to GSM, GPRS provides higher data rates of 14.4-115 kbps using packet switching versus circuit switching, and charges users based on the amount of data transferred rather than connection time. GPRS supports IP and X.25 networks and enables numerous mobile applications and services.

    General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

    A new Dimension to Wireless Communication

    What is GPRS ?
    General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a new bearer service for GSM that greatly improves and simplifies wireless access to packet data networks GPRS applies packet radio principal to transfer user data packets in an efficient way b/w MS & external packet data network

    Salient Features of GPRS


    Important step on the path to 3G Standardized by ETSI GPRS is an overlay network over the GSM Provides Data Packet delivery service Support for leading internet communication protocols Billing based on volume of data transferred Utilizes existing GSM authentication and privacy procedures.

    Comparison of GSM & GPRS


    Data Rates
    Modulation Technique Billing GSM 9.6 Kbps GMSK Duration of connection Circuit Switched Technology GPRS 14.4 to 115.2 Kbps GMSK Amount of data transferred Packet Switched Technology

    Type of Connection

    GPRS in INDIA
    Bharti Cellular Hutchison Max BPL Mobile Hutchison Essar Idea Cellular Vodafone

    GPRS Classes
    There are 3 classes of GPRS device being developed, of which only class B is currently available: -

    Class A - Operates in GSM and GPRS


    modes at the same time, and hold simultaneous voice and data sessions. Class B - Operates in GSM and GPRS modes at the same time, and but cannot hold simultaneous calls. Class C - Can be active in either GSM or GPRS mode, but not at the same time

    Attachment & Detachment Procedure


    GPRS attach
    - User is registered in SGSN, after authentication check from HLR - SGSN assigns P-TMSI to MS

    GPRS detach
    - Disconnection of MS from GPRS network is called GPRS detach - It can be initiated by MS or by network (SGSN or HLR)

    Location Management
    Mobile station can be in 1 of the 3 states depending on traffic amount Idle : MS is not using GPRS service Ready : Performing GPRS Attach, MS gets into READY State Standby : When MS does not send any packets for longer period of time, Ready timer Expires

    Applications of GPRS
    Web browsing Corporate & Internet Email Vehicle Positioning Remote LAN Access Home Automation Document Sharing/Collaborative working

    Benefits of GPRS
    Efficient GPRS mobile devices only use the GSM network
    -

    when data is transferred. The GSM connection is not dedicated to each user, therefore it can be shared with many users resulting in efficient use of the network.

    Fast GPRS gives speeds of up to 5 time faster than GSM.


    -

    GPRS offers maximum data rates of 56Kbps (down) and 14.4kbps (up), however this is shared bandwidth therefore actual data rates are potentially lower.
    Payment based on data usage - Billing is not based on time, but on the amount of data actually transferred.

    More Benefits of GPRS


    New Data Services High Speed (Data Rate 14.4 115 kbps) Efficient use of radio bandwith Circuit switching & Packet Switching can be used in parallel Constant connectivity
