3. 3 © 2010 by Dr. Neuhaus Telekommunikation GmbH Data transmission GSM (CSD) vs. GPRS/EDGE/UMTS GSM  Fixed assignment of voice and data channels  Physical connection to the air  Full bandwidth of a radio channel used exclusively by one user  User pays the radio channel the whole time of allocation  Pricing according to connection time - “pay for silence” GPRS/EDGE/UMTS  Dynamic assignment of voice and data channels  Data transfer via packages  GPRS session uses several channel in parallel  Resources are only occupied for the absolute period of time to transmit the data package  Pricing according to transferred volume - “pay for activity”

4. 4 © 2010 by Dr. Neuhaus Telekommunikation GmbH GPRS/EDGE – a few details Source: T-Mobile  Dynamic assignment of voice and data channel.  GPRS/EDGE Session is able to use several channel in parallel.  Resources are only occupied for the duration of transmission.  GPRS/EDGE use existing GSM infrastructure  GPRS/EDGE is a technology for packet oriented data communication (IP)  GPRS/EDGE is global and area wide packet-switching data Combined voice and GPRS/EDGE data channel Dedicated GPRS/EDGE data channel GPRS/EDGE Session 1 GPRS/EDGE Session 2

5. 5 © 2010 by Dr. Neuhaus Telekommunikation GmbH UMTS – Core Netzwerk  UMTS is using it‘s own radio access network, separated from GSM  UMTS is using W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) air interface standard  The UTRAN Network logically cuts into RNSs (Radio Network Subsystem)  A RNS is a geographical region which is managed by a RNC (Radio Network Controller).  Single RNS‘s can be cuts into Location Areas (LA)  MSC, SGSN and GGSN are core components of GSM/GPRS 2G network and are used by the UMTS 3G network.
