GPRS is now an established technology allowing packet-data access to the internet
and intranets and it is expected that consumer demand for the service will continue
to increase, especially when the higher data rates are made available.
The GPRS technology is also carried forward to the 3G systems and it is vital
that engineers working in the GSM/3G engineering fields understand the GPRS
technology.
The specifications are the source for the technology, but in general the specifications
provide exactly that - specifications and not explanations! With this in mind,
GPRS in Practice is written in a simple manner using simple language allowing
the reader to fully understand the complex GPRS concepts and how the GPRS interface
works.
- Provides an invaluable companion to the specifications as it supplies explanations
of the technicalities and cross-references the specifications within a practical
context
- Presents explanations of paging, cell reselection, temporary block flow,
multislot classes and many other concepts not available elsewhere
- Explains the underlying concepts of the GPRS system with the use of excellent
diagrams so that in many cases the concepts are understandable from the diagrams
alone without the accompanying text
By casting light upon the specifications with alternative simplified explanations,
engineers, technical managers, project leaders and technicians will find this
highly readable approach extremely helpful and an essential purchase!
