Features: GPRS technology inherits and develops the GSM architecture and provides a foundation for the development of third-generation mobile communication technology. This book combines relevant GSM technologies to comprehensively elaborate on GPRS technology from both theoretical principles and practical applications, and introduces and analyzes the development from GPRS to WCDMA technology. The content of the book includes GPRS Network Unit and Coordination Procedures, GPRS Wireless Technology, GPRS Network Technology, GPRS Applications, GPRS Network Security, GPRS Billing, GPRS Performance and Optimization, Analysis of Common GPRS Data Services, Analysis of Enhanced GPRS Data Services, Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) Technology, and the Evolution of GPRS. This book is suitable for engineering technicians in the communication field, network operation and maintenance personnel, as well as teachers and students in relevant disciplines of higher education. This is a scientific and technical book dedicated to introducing the 2.5th generation (2.5G) mobile communication technology—GPRS technology and its business applications. The book provides detailed descriptions of the functions of various GPRS technologies and services, especially the mobile data functions developed on the basis of GSM. The main content includes: Overview of GSM, Basic Knowledge of GPRS, System Architecture, Equipment Functions, Main Operational Processes, RF Interface and the Interface between Mobile Station and Packet Control Unit Supporting Node (MS-PCUSN), X2.5 Network, Internet, Intranet and Extranet, Interface between Mobile Station and GPRS Service Support Node (MS-SGSN), Interface from PCUSN to SGSN, Interface from SGSN to GGSN and from GGSN to PDN, and Future Developments and Services.
