Even though 2G and 2.5G technologies, as compare to 3G, are more than a decade old, the current corporate battle for 2G spectrum in India, indicates the significance and growth potential of these technologies including GSM and GPRS. 2.5G Mobile Networks is a complete coverage of GPRS and EDGE concepts presented in simple non-technical language without complex mathematics. An ideal primer for those working in or studying networking technologies, this book focuses mainly on procedures and basis of signaling exchanges. Readers will find a detailed treatment on GPRS network architecture, a healthy mix of concepts and protocols of Air Interface and Core Network, discussion on GPRS user-plane aspects with focus on user-plane protocols, important aspects of EDGE and much more. This book will be a valuable guide to both engineers as well as students working on GPRS and EDGE. It will also be a great follow up for those will knowledge on GSM and want to know more on the intermediate technologies before studying 3G UMTS.
