Chap 26 General Packet Radio Service

The document discusses General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and its architecture. It introduces GPRS as a new bearer service for GSM that allows packet-switched data transmission and improves on existing cellular data services. The key components of the GPRS architecture include the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), which interface with network elements like the Home Location Register (HLR) and Base Station Subsystem (BSS). The document also covers GPRS terminals, network protocols like GTP and TCP/IP, and routing area updates in GPRS networks.

General Packet Radio Service

Session Objective
Topics to be covered in this session : Need Of GPRS GPRS Architecture GPRS Terminals GPRS Protocol

By:- Gaurav Kumar

GPRS
GPRS is a new bearer service for GSM
Packet Data Network (PDN) to the Internet.

Short comings of existing cellular data services :


Data rates are too slow Connection setup takes too long and complicated Service is too expensive for most users.

GPRS Benefit

GPRS improves the utilization of the radio resources Offers volume-based billing Higher data transfer rates (Data Rate 14.4 115 kbps) Shorter access times Simplifies the access to packet data networks New Data Services High Speed Efficient use of radio bandwidth Circuit switching & Packet Switching can be used in parallel Constant connectivity

GPRS Terminals
Class A MS supports simultaneous operation of GPRS and GSM services Class B MS able to register with the n/w for both GPRS & GSM services simultaneously. It can only use one of the two services at a given time.
Class C - MS can attach for either GPRS or GSM services
By:- Gaurav Kumar

GPRS Speed & Profiles


Ex : 1) Class 10 is also known as 4+2, means 4 slots to download and 2 slots to upload, but no more than 5 slots used at a time. For applications where data is sent back-and-forth in roughly equal amount, such as instant messaging.

2) Class 8 is also known as 4+1, means 4 slots to download and 1 slot to upload For applications where data is mostly downloaded, such as web browsing.

By:- Gaurav Kumar

Routing Area Update


GSM Location Area(LA) is divided into several Routing Areas(RA) RA consists of several cells SGSN is informed when MS moves to a new RA MS sends a Routing Area Update Request to its assigned SGSN

GPRS Protocol Architecture

By:- Gaurav Kumar

Protocol Architecture

By:- Gaurav Kumar

Protocol Architecture
Medium Access Control Controls access attempts of an MS on radio channels shared by several MSs Employs algos. for contention resolution, multiuser multiplexing on PDTCH Both ack and unack. Modes of operation are supported in RLC/MAC layer

By:- Gaurav Kumar

Protocol Architecture
Logical Link Control Establishes highly reliable logical link between MS & its assigned SGSN Works either in acknowledged or unacknowledged modes Data confidentiality is ensured by ciphering functions

Radio Link Control


Establish a reliable link between MS & BSS Segmentation and reassembly of LLC frames into RLC data blocks

By:- Gaurav Kumar

Protocol Architecture
Sub Network Dependent Convergence Protocol Used to transfer data packets between SGSN and MS Multiplexing of several connections of network layer onto one logical connection of underlying LLC layer Compression and decompression of user data and header information Data Link layer Divided into two sub layers : LLC layer (between MS-SGSN) RLC/MAC (between MS-BSS)

By:- Gaurav Kumar

Protocol Architecture
BSS GPRS-Tunneling Protocol Delivers routing & Quality of Service related information between BSS and SGSN GPRS Tunneling Protocol GTP tunnels user data packets and related signaling information between GSNs Signaling is used to create, modify and delete tunnels Defined both at Gn and Gp interface Below GTP, TCP or UDP are employed to transport the GTP Packets within backbone network
