What is GPRS and EDGE?
Abbreviation of General Packet Radio Service.
GPRS is an end-to-end packet switching technology
provided on the basis of GSM technology.
It has much interactive services with the existing GSM
circuit switching system.
GPRS supports wireless access rate of up to 171.2Kbps.
EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution)
EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS)
EGPRS supports wireless access rate of up to 473.6Kbps.
ECSD (Enhanced CSD, Enhanced HSCSD-High Speed Circuit

PBCCH (Packet Broadcast Control
CHannel)
The PBCCH broadcasts parameters
used by the MS to access the network for
packet transmission operation.
The PBCCH also carries the information
transmitted via the BCCH to allow circuit
switching operation.
The MS in GPRS attached mode monitors
the PBCCH only, if PBCCH is available,
otherwise, the BCCH shall be used to
broadcast information for packet operation.
The existence of the PBCCH in the cell is
indicated on the BCCH via SI13.

PRACH
Uplink only, used to request allocation of one or
several PDTCH/Us or PDTCH/Ds.
PAGCH
Downlink only, used to allocate one or several
PDTCHs.
PNCH
Downlink only, used to notify MS of PTM-M call.
If no PCCCH is allocated, the information for
packet switching operation is transmitted on the
CCCH. If a PCCCH is allocated, it may transmit
information for circuit switching operation.

Combinations of Packet Logic
Channel
Mode 3: PDTCH+PACCH+PTCCH
Mode 1: PBCCH+PCCCH+PDTCH+PACCH+PTCCH
Mode 2: PCCCH+PDTCH+PACCH+PTCCH
In case of small GPRS traffic, GPRS
and circuit services share the same
BCCH and CCCH in the cell. In this
case, only combination mode 3 is
needed in the cell.
With the increase of traffic, the
packet public channel should be
configured in the cell. Channel
combination mode 1 and mode 2
should be adopted.
Mode 4: PBCCH+PCCCH
(PCCCH=PPCH+PRACH+PAGCH+PNCH

Packet Wireless Channel
Configurations
Reason of adopting static PDCH
To enable that GPRS MS is constantly online in the cell.
To ensure certain QoS of GPRS services.
Reason of adopting dynamic PDCH
GPRS and GSM share wireless resources.
Wireless resources should be adopted in priority; on the other hand,
QoS of voice services should be ensured.
In a cell, the percentage of packet switching services and the
percentage of circuit switching services are constantly changing.
Dynamic PDCH is not visible for voice services.
Copyright 2009 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page57
Packet Wireless Channel
Configurations
General principles
The cell should be configured with static PDCH to enable MS to
be normally attached on GPRS network as well as certain QoS of
GPRS services.
Dynamic PDCH should be configured according to the GPRS
traffic forecast, which should be adjusted as TCH or PDCH usable
in the operation process according to the cell traffic status.
Circuit switching services can seize the channel used by GPRS
services.

Allocation of Wireless Packet
Resources
Wireless resource allocation and wireless transmission adopt the wireless block
(BLOCK) as the basic unit.
Each PDCH can be used by several MSs; each MS can use multiple PDCHs at the
same time.

Basic Conceptions about Radio Block
USF(Uplink State Flag) is sent in all downlink
RLC/MAC blocks and indicates the owner or use
of the next uplink Radio block on the same
timeslot.
The USF field is three bits in length
USF=1
USF=2
USF=3
USF=4

Basic Conceptions about Radio Block
TBF (Temporary Block Flow)
A Temporary Block Flow (TBF) is a physical connection used by the
two RR entitiesthe RR entity of the MS and that of the BSSto
support the unidirectional transfer of LLC PDUs on packet data
physical channels.
A TBF is temporary and is maintained only for the duration of the data
transfer.
TFI (Temporary Flow Identity)
Each TBF is assigned a Temporary Flow Identity (TFI) by the network.
The TFI field is five bits in length.

Medium Access Modes
Uplink resource allocation mode
Dynamic allocation (supported by all MSs and all networks)
The mobile station detecting an assigned USF value for each assigned PDCH and
block or group of four blocks that it is allowed to transmit on that PDCH.
Fixed allocation (supported by all MSs and all networks)
Fixed bit mapping is adopted to determine the allocated blocks in the allocation period
without an assigned USF.
Extended dynamic allocation (optional for the network)
The mobile station detecting an assigned USF value for any assigned PDCH allowing
the mobile station to transmit on that PDCH and all higher numbered assigned
PDCHs in the same block or group of four blocks.
Downlink resource allocation mode
Dynamic allocation and fixed allocation.

MS Multi-TS Ability
Concept of MS multi-TS ability
Types
Type 1: Non-simultaneous TRX
Type 2: Simultaneous TRX
the multi-TS ability level is 1-29; the bigger the level, the stronger the
multi-TS ability.
1~12 (Type 1),up to 4 timeslots in any direction
13~18 (Type 2),ranges between 3~8 timeslots
19~29 (Type 1)
BSS allocates resources according to the MS multi-TS ability,
requested QoS and current resource configuration.

Power Control
Power control can improve the spectrum usage and system
capacity as well as reduce MS power consumption.
As there is no continuous bi-directional connection in the packet
data transmission process, GPRS power control is very
complicated.
Uplink power control includes open-loop and close-loop power
control.
About downlink power control, there is no specific definition in
protocol. It lies on the BTS and its algorithm needs information
about downlink, so downlink power control needs MS sends
channel quality reports to BTS.

Network Control Modes
During the network controlled cell re-selection, the network
may request measurement reports from the MS and control
its cell re-selection. Hence, three types of mode are defined
as follows:
NC0: Normal MS controls
NC1: MS control with measurement reports
NC2: Network control
The network subsystem must support NC0 and should
gradually support NC1 and NC2.
