6、ion</p><p>　　In the late 1800s, Marconi did the pioneer work establishing the first successful radio link between a land-based station and a tugboat. Since then, wireless communication systems have been deve

7、loping and evolving with a furious pace. The number of mobile subscribers has been growing tremendously in the past decades. In the early stages, wireless communication systems were dominated by military usage and suppor

8、ted according to military needs and requirements. During the last half a century, with</p><p>　　The systems were isolated from each other and only a few of the communicated with the PSTN (Public Switched Tel

9、ephone Networks). Today, the cellular systems consist of a cluster of ba -se station with low power radio transmitters. Each base station serves a small cell within a large geographic area. The total number of users serv

10、ed is increased because of channel reuse and al -so larger frequency bandwidth. </p><p>　　Global system for mobile communications is the European standard for cellular communications developed by the ETSI (E

11、uropean Telecommunications Standards Institute).Throughout Europe and the rest of the world, GSM has been widely adopted. It has already been implemented in over 100 countries. The most important service in GSM is voice

12、telephony. Voice is digitally encoded and carried by the GSM network as a digital stream in a circuit-switched mode. </p><p>　　Data services have been gaining popularity in cellular networks since they were

13、first introduced through the circuit-switched connection. As cellular carriers, however, start deploying the packet data service such as GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), carriers can provide data services in a more b

14、andwidth-efficient way over the cellular network, thereby increasing the radio resource utilization.</p><p>　　2 GPRS-related technologies</p><p>　　GSM offers data services already but they have

15、been constrained by the use of circuit-switched data channels over the air interface allowing a maximum bit rate of 14.4 kb/s. For this reason, the GSM standard has continued its natural evolution to accommodate the requ

16、irement for higher bitrates. The HSCSD (High-speed Circuit-switched Data) are one solution that address this requirement by allocating more time slots per subscriber and thus better rates. It remains however insufficient

17、 for bursty d</p><p>　　GPRS stands out as one major development in the GSM standard that benefits from packet switched techniques to provide mobile subscribers with the much needed high bit rates for bursty

18、data transmissions. It is possible theoretically for GPRS subscribers to use several time slots (packet data channels) simultaneously reaching a bit rate of about 170 kb/s. Volume-based charging is possible because chann

19、els are allocated to users only when packets are to be sent or received. Bursty data application</p><p>　　2.1 Basic Principle</p><p>　　In a cellular network, an entire geographic area is divided

20、 into cells, with each cell being served by a base station. Because of the low transmission power at the base station, the same channels can be reused again in another cell without causing too much interference. The conf

21、iguration and planning of the cell is chosen to minimize the interference from another cell and thus maximum capacity can be achieved. The cell is usually depicted as a hexagon, but in reality the actual shape varies acc

22、o</p><p>　　Mobility is one of the key features in wireless communication systems. There is a need to track the users moving into different cells and changing radio channels. A mobile switched to another chan

23、nel in a different cell is called handoff. A signaling and call processing procedure is needed to support user mobility and handoff such that a mobile phone can be completed successfully. Paging is another key feature in

24、 cellular systems. It uses a common shared channel to locate the users within the se</p><p>　　2.2 Multiple Access Technique</p><p>　　Multiple access is a technique to allow users to share a comm

25、unication medium so that the overall capacity can be increased. There are three commonly used multiple access schemes: FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access), TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), CDMA (Code Division

26、Multiple Access). In FDMA, each call is assigned its own band of frequency for the duration of the call. The entire frequency band is divided into many small individual channels for users to access. In TDMA, users share&

27、lt;/p><p>　　Each call is assigned a different time slot for its transmission. In CDMA, users share the same band of frequencies and time slots. Each call is assigned a unique code, which can spread the spectrum

28、 to the entire frequency band. The spectrum spread calls are sent on top of each other simultaneously, and are separated at the receiver by an inverse operation of the unique codes. A combination of the three multiple ac

29、cess schemes can also be applied.</p><p>　　2.3 Power Control</p><p>　　Power control is one of the most important design features in wireless communication including FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA systems.

30、 It ensures each user transmits and receives at a proper energy level to convey information successfully while reducing the interference to other users. Power control is needed in FDMA and TDMA systems because of the co-

31、channel interference management. This type of interference is caused by the frequency reuse in the limited available spectrum. Via a proper power level adju</p><p>　　Power control can be operated in a centra

32、lized form or a distributed form. A centralized controller obtains the information of all the established connections and channel gains, and controls the transmission power level. The centralized approach can optimize th

33、e power usage of the entire or part of the network and thus is very efficient. It requires extensive control signaling in the network, however, and is difficult to apply in practice.</p><p>　　3 GPRS architec

34、ture</p><p>　　GPRS is considered as a service or feature of GSM. It was designed by ETSI to be implemented over the existing infrastructure of GSM without interfering with the already existing services. The

35、aim is quick GPRS deployment with minor impact on existing GSM PLMN components. Fig. 1 illustrates the logical architecture of a GSM network supporting GPRS.</p><p>　　Figure 1. Architecture of GPRS network&l

36、t;/p><p>　　3.1 Mobile Station</p><p>　　GPRS and GSM systems provide inter-working and sharing of resources dynamically between users. For this reason, three types of terminals have been defined: a

37、class-A MS can carry a circuit-switched and a packet switched connection simultaneously enabling the subscriber to initiate or receive a voice call without interrupting a data transmission or reception activity. This typ

38、e of terminal probably will not be available when GPRS is initially deployed due to its complexity and high cost. An MS of</p><p>　　The GPRS MS has two components: a MT (Mobile Terminal) which is typically a

39、 handset used to access the radio interface as a radio modem, and a TE (Terminal Equipment) which is typically a laptop or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). GPRS MS will also come as one unit combining the functionalit

40、ies of an MT and a TE.</p><p>　　3.2 Base Station Subsystem</p><p>　　GPRS has minor impact on the existing GSM BSS making it easy to reuse existing component and links without major modifications

41、. This is possible because GPRS uses the same frequency bands and hopping techniques, the same TDMA frame structure, the same radio modulation and burst structure as GSM.</p><p>　　A new functional component

42、called PCU (packet control unit) was added to the BSS in the GPRS standard to support the handling of data packets. The PCU is placed logically between the BSS and the GPRS NSS. Unlike the voice circuit connections howev

43、er, connections in GPRS have to be established and released between the BSS and the MS only when data need to be transported over the air interface. Therefore, ETSI has defined new procedures to adapt such connections.&l

44、t;/p><p>　　3.3 Network Switching Subsystem</p><p>　　The GPRS NSS can be viewed as an overlay network ensuring the link between mobile users and data networks. GPRS introduces a new functional eleme

45、nt to the GSM infrastructure: GSN (GPRS Support Node) which can be either a SGSN (Serving-GSN) or a GGSN (Gateway-GSN). This addition is necessary for the GSM network in order to support packet data services. The network

46、 is generally divided into several service areas controlled by separate SGSN. Only one SGSN serves an MS at a given time provided it is</p><p>　　Several interfaces have been introduced in GPRS to define enti

47、ty-to-entity interactions. For instance, the interface is required between the BSC and the SGSN. Two GSN communicate through a interface, and the SGSN sends queries and receives subscriber information to/from the HLR th

48、rough the interface. The interface between the SGSN and the MSC/VLR was left optional while the interface which connects a GGSN to a PDN was not specified in the standard to allow implementation preferences.</p>&

49、lt;p>　　As mentioned, GPRS standard activities focused mainly on PTP connections to IP PDN at the GI interface. An example of such IP PDN can be a corporate Intranet where access is restricted to authenticated corporat

50、e employees allowing them to access for instance the corporate web and mail servers. Another example is connectivity to an ISP (Internet service provider) offering Internet access and related services.</p><p&g
