GPRSGPRS • What’s in this slide? • Introduction to GPRS. • History • GPRS Service. • GPRS Speeds. • GPRS Mobile Devices. • Services of GPRS. • GPRS in practice.
Introduction to GPRS • GPRS is a service of GSM mobiles. • GPRS-GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE provides direct link to the internet from GSM phones. • Basically it is used for data trancfer. • GPRS is described as”2.5G”. • GPRS is packet switched.
GPRS Service • In GPRS data is billed per kilobytes of information transceived. • Through GPRS only those files can be accessed which are written in XHTML. • The main benefit for users of GPRS is the ‘always on’ characteristic.
GPRS Speed • The theoretical limit for packet switched data is approx 170 kbit/sec. • Realistic bit rate is 30-70 kbit/sec.
GPRS Speed (cont.) download upload GPRS (4+1) 57.6 kbit/s 14.4 kbit/s (class 8& 10) GPRS (3+2) 43.2 kbit/s 28.8 kbit/s (class 10) CSD 9.6 kbit/s 9.6 kbit/s HSCSD 28.8 kbit/s 14.4 kbit/s (2+1) HSCSD 43.2 kbit/s 14.4 kbit/s (3+1) • A change to the radio part of GPRS called EDGE allows higher bit rates of between 20 and 200 kbit/s. The maximum data rates are achieved only by allocation of more than one time slot in the TDMA frame.
GPRS MOBILEDEVICES To use GPRS the service is 'dialed' in a similar manner to a standard data call at which point the user is 'attached' and an IP address is allocated. • The key use for GPRS is to send and receive data to a computer application such as Email, web browsing or even telemetry.
GPRS MOBILE DEVICES(cont…) • The three standard methods to connect your computer to GPRS mobile phone are: 1… Infrared 2… Data-cable 3… Bluetooth
Services of GPRS • GPRS provides services like • Point-to-point • Point-to-multipoint • SMS • Anonymous services.
GPRSin Practice • Telephone operators prices GPRS relatively cheaply compared to csd. • Typical rates vary wildly, ranging from Euro 1 to Euro 20 per megabyte . • In the US T-mobile offers US$20 per month unlimited GPRS. • Orange in UK offers 1 gigabyte package for 88 per month.
GPRSSECURITY • The radio interface is considered to be relatively secure being controlled by the GSM network's security - (SIM card + HLR). Security issues arise when data needs to leave the GPRS network to be delivered to either the Internet or a company LAN. • Internet connectivity is the cheapest and most common - and here you can take charge of security by encrypting sensitive data.

KEY USER FEATURES OF GPRS • Speed… • Immediacy… • New and Better Applications… • Service Access…
KEY NETWORK FEATURES OF GPRS • Packet Switching… • Spectrum Efficiency… • Internet Aware… • Supports TDMA and GSM…
APPLICATIONS OF GPRS • E-Commerce • Banking • Financial Trading • Unified Messaging
GENERAL APPLICATIONS OF GPRS • Communications—E-mail and fax; • Intranet/Internet access • Value-added services (VAS)—Information services; games • E-commerce—Retail; ticket purchasing; banking; financial trading • Location-based applications—Navigation; traffic conditions; airline/rail schedules; location finder • Vertical applications—Freight delivery; fleet management; sales-force automation • Advertising
ADVANTAGES OF GPRS • GPRS will enable a variety of new and unique services to the mobile wireless subscriber. These mobile applications contain several unique characteristics that enhance the value to the customers. • First among them is mobility—the ability to maintain constant voice and data communications while on the move. • Second is immediacy, which allows subscribers to obtain connectivity when needed, regardless of location and without a lengthy login session. • Finally, localization allows subscribers to obtain information relevant to their current location
LIMITATIONS OF GPRS • Limited Cell Capacity for All Users • Speeds Much Lower in Reality • Support of GPRS Mobile Terminate by Terminals is Not Ensured • Suboptimal Modulation • Transit Delays • No Store and Forward
CONCLUSION:- From this we conclude that the future of GPRS is very bright because it is flexible to new functions such as more capacity, more users ,new radio networks.
