MODULATION &
CODING:
What is Modulation ?

What is coding?

Comparison b/w Modulation and Coding.

 In what way Modulation and Coding Schemes related

to EDGE technology

Modulation and Coding scheme
(MCS)

 Coding and modulation   Speed   Modulation

scheme (MCS) (kbit/s/slot)
MCS-1 8.80 GMSK
MCS-2 11.2 GMSK
MCS-3 14.8 GMSK
MCS-4 17.6 GMSK
MCS-5 22.4 8-PSK
MCS-6 29.6 8-PSK

 Advantages
Balanced improved bit rate at all radio
conditions

No hardware, software change to GSM core

networks

Supports download various file types

 Handle four times the traffic of standard GPRS

Smart & adaptive antennas

Triples gross data rate by GSM

Circuit-switched and packet-switched traffic

coexist

03/26/10 RAHUL RAJ 12

Rapid Internet and WAP access

Service available for EDGE phones without tariff

charge

Avoids creating new system

 DISADVANTAGES:
EDGE requires base station modifications

Extra mobile terminal hardware and software

required

Frequently referred to as 2.75G

CONCLUSION:
EDGE technology has succeeded the technology previously used in
mobile phones.
Low risk of investment thanks to the dual mode of GSM/EDGE (Slot
by slot)
It support the same technology as GPRS but it has got higher data
rates of more than 400kbits/sec
EDGE allows the delivery of advanced mobile services such as the
downloading of video and music clips, full multimedia messaging,
high-speed Internet access and e-mail on the move.
