    GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a packet-based mobile data service on the 2G and 3G cellular communication systems. It allows users to send and receive data such as emails and web pages in an "always-on" manner. GPRS achieves higher data transfer rates than previous circuit-switched data services by using unused TDMA time slots in GSM networks. While speeds are improved over previous technologies, maximum speeds are lower than later 3G technologies. Shortcomings include limited network resources and delays, but technological upgrades like EDGE can help overcome some issues. Applications include mobile banking, traffic updates, and security monitoring.

    Advent of GPRS
    • The impressive growth of cellular mobile telephony as
    well as the number of Internet users promises an
    exciting potential.

    • Rise in the employment level which has created


    professionals who require on-demand information
    without having to plug into any local cable network.

    • Requirement for high-performance wireless internet.

    • Need for better utilization of the network, higher


    transfer rates and shorter access times.
    What is GPRS?
    • It is a 2.5G technology as it is a
    technology that lies between
    second(2G) and third generation(3G)

    • GPRS is packet-switched which


    means that multiple users share the
    single transmission channel, only
    transmitting when they have data to
    send.

    • Packet-switched data under GPRS is


    achieved by allocating unused cell
    bandwidth to transmit data.
    Difference between circuit-switching
    and packet-switching network

    SWITCHING NETWORK SWITCHING NETWORK
    GSM Architecture
    • A cell is formed by the radio
    area coverage of a base
    transceiver station (BTS).
    One base station controller
    (BSC) together controls
    several BTSs.
    • The combined traffic of the
    mobile stations in their
    respective cells is routed
    through a switch i.e. the
    mobile switching center
    (MSC).
    Continued….
    • GSM networks are structured
    hierarchically. They consist of
    at least one administrative
    region, which is assigned to a
    MSC.
    • For all users registered with a
    network operator, permanent
    data (such as the user's profile)
    as well as temporary data
    (such as the user's current
    location) are stored in the
    home location register(HLR).
    • In case of a call to a user, the
    HLR is always first queried, to
    determine the user's current
    location.
    Moving On….
    • A Visited location register(VLR) is responsible for a group
    of location areas and stores the data of those users who are
    currently in its area of responsibility.
    • The AUC generates and stores security-related data such as
    keys used for authentication and encryption, whereas the
    EIR registers equipment data rather than subscriber data.
    • The International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI)
    uniquely identifies a mobile station internationally. It is a
    kind of serial number.
    • It can be viewed by typing *#06# on your mobile.
    • It is allocated by the equipment manufacturer which is later
    on stored in the equipment identity register(EIR).
    Location management
    • The main task of location
    management is to keep track of the
    user's current location, so that
    incoming packet can be routed to his
    or her mobile.
    • The mobile frequently sends the user
    location.
    • In IDLE state the mobile is not
    reachable. Performing a GPRS attach,
    the mobile gets into READY state.
    • The STANDBY state will be reached
    when an MS does not send any
    packets for a longer period of time,
    and therefore the READY timer
    (which was started at GPRS attach)
    expires.
    In the same vein ….
    • In IDLE State, no location updating
    is performed, i.e., the current
    location of the mobile is unknown
    to the network.

    • For the location management of an


    mobile in STANDBY State, a
    GSM location area (LA) is divided
    into several routing areas (RA).

    • Whenever an mobile moves to a


    new RA, it sends a "routing area
    update request" to its assigned
    SGSN.
    Features of GPRS :

    • Internet on the Mobile.

    • Rich Media Applications.

    • Speed of data transfer is achieved.

    • Facilitates instant connection for sending and receiving of urgent


    data.

    • Spectrum efficiency.
    Capability classes
    There a 3 capability classes in GPRS :

    • Class A : Can be connected to GPRS service and GSM


    service (voice, SMS), using both at the same time.

    • Class B : Can be connected to GPRS service and GSM


    service (voice, SMS), but using only one or the other at a
    given time. Most GPRS mobiles used today are Class B
    devices.

    • Class C : These devices are connected to either GPRS


    service or GSM service (voice, SMS) require manual
    between one or the other service.
    Advantages of GPRS
    • 3 TO 10 TIMES THE SPEED .

    • INSTANT CONNECTIONS – IMMEDIATE TRANSFER


    OF DATA.

    • NEW AND BETTER APPLICATIONS.

    • INCREASED MOBILITY FOR THE USERS.

    • BILLING IS DONE AS PER THE DATA TRANSMITTED


    BY THE USER AND NOT FOR THE DURATION FOR
    WHICH THE USER HAS LOGGED IN.
    Shortcomings
    • LIMITED RADIO RESOURCES .

    • SPEEDS ARE MUCH LOWER IN REALITY.

    • NO SUPPORT OF MOBILE TERMINATED CALLS .

    • TRANSIT DELAYS.

    • NO STORE AND FORWARD FACILITY UNLIKE IN


    GSM COMMUNICATION.
    Proposed Solution
    GPRS is a step in front of high-speed
    circuit-switched data and steps closer to 3G.
    It will help increase data transmission
    speeds. So the shortcomings can be
    overcome by technological upgradation i.e.
    by upgrading to an EDGE(Enhanced Data
    Rates for GSM Evolution) network.
    Applications
    • Information on demand regarding
    weather, traffic, entertainment, stock
    exchange, flight schedule etc.
    • Bank transactions
    • Tracking of taxis and credit card
    validation for customer payment
    • Support of security and monitoring
    systems
    A Parting Note
    Although there may be some
    shortcomings in GPRS but it is in its still
    nascent stage but technological
    advancements are taking place by the light
    of the day. Our focus should be on how
    efficiently and economically we can use this
    technology because only then can we make
    it a truly happening technology.
    Thank you.
