GPRS training course description
GPRS is a packet switched access mode for GSM systems, which will enable more efficient use of the radio
resources leading to increased data speeds and capacity. It is an important migration step toward
3G networks. This course provides a detailed analysis of the workings and implications of GPRS.
Who will benefit?
Anyone who needs to know more about GPRS.
GPRS training course prerequisites
GSM fundamentals.

GPRS Network Architecture
Review of GSM architecture, the new network entities required
for GPRS. How the existing GSM network entities needs to be
upgraded. How GPRS roaming will work. How intra and inter PLMN’s
work together. How billing works in the GPRS network.
IP over GPRS
Brief review of IP, IP stack over GPRS, IP addressing in
GPRS, DHCP, GPRS configuration for IP. IP packet flows.
WAP and GPRS.
GPRS Interfaces
Messaging scenarios used over the GPRS Gb, Gs and Gp Interfaces.
How the handset performs a GPRS attach and detach. GPRS
roaming and how it works. Links used between GPRS Roaming
Exchanges (GRX). GPRS terminal attach message flow in the
NSS, PDP context message flow in the NSS, GPRS paging message
flow, GPRS terminal detach message flow.
GPRS Protocol Stack
The components of the protocol stack. How each component
works. How encapsulated packets are sent. How each component
links to the next component.
GPRS Air Interface
The new GPRS channels required. How the new channels work.
How to map GPRS logical channels onto physical channels.
How they enable session activation. The difference between
master PDCH’s and slave PDCH’s.
