Summary This article provides an overview of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). GPRS reuses the existing GSM infrastructure to provide end-to-end packet-switched services. Benefits of GPRS include efficient radio usage, fast set-up/access time and high bandwidth with multiple timeslots. GPRS also provides a smooth path for GSM evolution to the third generation mobile network. Specifically, a third generation network can continue to utilize the GPRS IP backbone network. We describe the GPRS network nodes and the interfaces among these nodes. Deployment issues for GPRS are also elaborated. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
