Abstract
The aim of this paper is to understand the architecture
of GPRS and focus primarily on the issues that come
up while migrating from the existing GSM network to
that of the GPRS. The migration path from GSM to GPRS
requires additional packet switching nodes, software
upgrades in the base station subsystem, the existing
GSM nodes to be upgraded with GPRS functionality, commercial
data services to provided - for this a GPRS operator
needs to deploy other elements like Access servers and
Firewalls. The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is
a new non-voice value added service that allows information
to be sent and received across a mobile telephone network.
It supplements today’s Circuit Switched Data and
Short Message Service. With the growing data traffic
in the Internet world today, the need to look for better
methodologies to meet the upcoming demand of the Internet
users has become inevitable. GPRS has evolved to cater
to the mobile users by enabling them to access the Internet
world incessantly. It would also provide a massive boost
to mobile data communication.
