GPRS in Practice

A Companion to the Specifications

von Peter McGuiggan
Professionals quickly discover that, although the technicalspecifications for GPRS cover all parts of the engineeringfunctions in detail and depth, they are lacking in one importantfeature; the conceptual framework within which the specificationssit - GPRS in Practice fills this gap. By beginning with anexplanation of why GPRS is necessary and describing the coreconcept of GPRS operations, the TBF (Temporary Block Flow), arevision section then covers the GSM Air Interface with its Radio, Physical and Logical channels and this progressively leads to theGPRS logical channels - what they do and how they do it. The bookthen moves on to a brief introduction of the GPRS protocol stackwhich provides a launch pad for a detailed trip into all the layersof this stack, with detailed diagrams and explanations of eachlayer integrated into an overall understanding of how the GPRSservice operates in practice.
* Provides descriptions of why procedures are specifiedand then clearly explains how the specifications work inpractice
* Provides a layered view of the GPRS protocol and deals indetail with each layer separately
* Includes numerous acronyms and abbreviations accompanied bytheir full meaning
An invaluable resource for Mobile network operators, Developmentand deployment engineers and Handset designers.
