Study Notes
GPRS Network Architecture and Operation
- GPRS operates on a 200 kHz wide radio channel and carries a digital data stream of 271 kbps, divided into 8 time slots each carrying 34 kbps per slot.
- The data rate achieved after corrections is 14 kbps per time slot, and GPRS can combine up to 8 time slots for a data rate of 114 kbps.
- GPRS network architecture includes GSNs, with SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node) and GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) being key elements.
- SGSN is responsible for delivering data packets to mobile stations, packet routing, transfer, mobility management, and authentication.
- GGSN interfaces the GPRS backbone network and external packet data networks, converting GPRS packets from SGSN to the PDP format and performing authentication.
- GPRS Register is integrated with GSM-HLR, maintaining GPRS subscriber data and routing information, and storing the current SGSN address.
- GSNs are connected through IP-based backbone networks, including intra-PLMN and inter-PLMN networks, requiring roaming agreements.
- GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) is used to tunnel user data packets and related signaling information between GSNs.
- GPRS can interconnect with IP-based packet data networks, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6, and resembling an IP subnetwork with GGSN acting as an IP router.
- GPRS session management involves procedures such as attach, detach, PDP context activation, and Quality of Service attributes.
- GPRS mobile state and location management includes three states for the mobile station: idle, ready, and standby, along with routing area updates and mobility management.
- GPRS logical channels include the Packet Data Channel (PDCH), which is a physical channel for GPRS traffic, allocated based on current traffic load and service priority.
