GPRS/EDGE – MCS and throughputs
Page 7
GPRS and EDGE introduce multiple Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS)
MCS allows different data rates through the GSM time slot
Selection of MCS depends on channel condition and capability of mobile
GPRS and EDGE allow for multiple slot aggregation Slot aggregation allows increase in data rate offered to
the user EDGE introduces new modulation scheme – 8-PSK

Acronyms:
Node B = Base Station
SGSN = Service GPRS Node
GGSN = Gateway GPRS Node
MSC = Mobile Switching Center
VLR = Visitor Location Registry
HLR = Home Location Registry
Open Interfaces:
Uu – W-CDMA air interface
Iub – Node B to RNC
Iur – between RNC
Iu – between UTRAN and CN
W-CDMA air interface for UMTS radio Access
Air interface is based on CDMA access
Reuse of the existing GSM network architecture
Iub fully standardized The core network allows
both GSM and UMTS radio access

• Air interface determines the performance of a cellular system
• W-CDMA – revolutionary change from GSM’s TDMA scheme
• Advanced radio resource management – required by diverse 3G applications
• Multi-rate spreading • W-CDMA is interference limited
• Provides soft capacity and• Coverage, capacity, quality tradeoffs

Long Term Evolution (LTE) LTE – 4 G technology Changes in both radio access and core Radio access is OFDM based (1.4-20MHz) Core is packet only; Voice as VoIP Simplified core – all IP eNodeB responsible for RRM

Review
List successor technologies to GSM How is voice handled in GSM (as CS
or as PS) Which technology promises higher
data rates: EDGE or HSPA? What type of access scheme is used
in UMTS? What type of access scheme is used
in LTE? Does LTE core network contain
switches? How is voice handled in LTE? Explain the concept of adaptive MCS
