EGPRS: Design Details and System Engineering

By Gunnar Heine

The print version of Gunnar Heine's PowerPoint presentation on EGPRS (Enhanced General Packet Radio Service) - a cutting-edge packet-switched mobile communications technology that enhances GPRS for the purpose of upgrading GSM-based networks to handle higher data rates. Designed for engineers with a thorough knowledge of GPRS, this practical volume focuses on all the relevant aspects of EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) that expand upon GPRS technology. Special emphasis is given to physical layer details and to the extensions of EDGE in the RLC/MAC-Protocol. learn how to develop, test and operate EGPRS hardware and software. From blind detection, 3d/8-Offset 8-PSK-modulation, and tail biting, to ARQ 1, ARQ II, and MCS-1 to MCS-9, you get the design details you need to work with this new technology. Moreover, this presentation explains what adaptations are required on the network side to provide for EGPRS, and shows you how EGPRS compares to 1xRTT, 3xRTT and UMTS.
