Constraints with existing network
• Data Rates too slow – about 9.6 kbps
• Connection setup time too long
• Inefficient resource utilization for bursty traffic
• Proves expensive for bursty traffic utilization
• No efficient method for packet transfers

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
Benefits of GPRS
 New Data Services
 High Speed (Data Rate 14.4 – 115 kbps)
 Efficient use of radio bandwidth (Statistical Multiplexing)
 Circuit switching & Packet Switching can be used in parallel
 Constant connectivity
GPRS Network Elements
GPRS Architecture is same as GSM except few
hardware modifications :
 GPRS includes GSNs
 SGSN : Serving GPRS Support Node
 GGSN : Gateway GPRS Support Node
 GPRS Register

Interfaces
 Gb – Connects BSC with SGSN
 Gn – SGSN – SGSN/GGSN (in the same network)
 Gp – SGSN –GGSN (in different networks)
 Gf – For equipment querying at registering time
 Gi – Connects PLMN with external Packet Data
Networks (PDNs)
 Gr – To exchange User profile between HLR & SGSN
 Gs – To exchange Database between SGSN & MSC
 Gd – Interface between SMS & GPRS
SGSN – Serving GPRS Support Node
• Delivers data packets to mobile stations & vice-versa
• Detect and Register new GPRS MS in its serving area
• Packet Routing, Transfer & Mobility Management
• Authentication, Maintaining user profiles
• Its location register stores location info. & user profiles
GGSN – Gateway GPRS Support Node
• Interfaces GPRS backbone network & external packet
data networks
• Converts the GPRS packets from SGSN to the PDP
format
• Converts PDP addresses change to GSM addresses of
the destination user
• Stores the current SGSN address and profile of the user
in its location register
• Performs authentication
• Many-to- many relations among SGSNs & GGSNs
GPRS Register
 GPRS Register is integrated with GSM-HLR.
 Maintains the GPRS subscriber data and Routing information.
 Stores current SGSN address
GPRS Services
• Offers end-to-end packet switched data transfer
• Bearer Services
• PTP - Point-To-Point service (CLNS mode)
• PTM - Point-To-Multipoint service(CONS Mode)
• PTM-M Multicast service
• PTM-G Group call service
• Supplementary Services
• SMS Short Message Service
• CFU Call Forwarding Unconditional
GPRS Services (Contd.)
Quality of Service
• GPRS allows defining QoS profiles
• Service precedence, reliability, delay, throughput
Applications of GPRS
 Web browsing
 Corporate & Internet Email
 Vehicle Positioning
 Remote LAN Access
 Home Automation
 Document Sharing/Collaborative working
Universal Mobile Telecommunication Standard(UMTS)
 The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is a
third generation mobile cellular system for networks based on
the GSM standard.
 Circuit- and Packet-Oriented Services
 UMTS uses wideband code division multiple access
(W-CDMA) radio access technology to offer greater spectral
efficiency and bandwidth to mobile network operators
 High data rates and improves the quality of service
UMTS Network Architecture
 User Equipment:
A mobile station or cell phone contains two major components,
- SIM
- Mobile Device
 Radio Network Subsystem:
The RNS is the equivalent of the GSM Base Station Subsystem.
 Core Network:
The core network is the equivalent of the GSM Network Switching
Subsystem.
