Migration from GSM network to GPRS

ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to understand the architecture of the GPRS and focus primarily on
the issue come up while migrating from existing GSM network to that of GPRS.The migration
path from GSM to GPRS requires additional packet switching nodes, software upgrades in the
base station subsystem. The existing GSM nodes to upgrade with GPRS functionally, command
data service to provide for this GPRS operation need to deploy other elements access serves and
firewalls
The general packet radio system is a new non-voice value added service allows
information to be sent and received across mobile telephone networks .it supplements todays
circuit switched data and short message service. 
With the growing data traffic internet world today, the need often look better
methodologies to meet the upcoming demand of internet user has become inevitable GPRS has
evolved the mobile user by enabling them to access the internet would incessantly.
It would a GPRS uses a packet-mode technique to transfer high-speed and low-speed data
and signaling in an efficient manner over GSM radio networks. GPRS optimizes the use of
network resources and radio resources. Strict separation between the radio subsystem and
network subsystem is maintained, allowing the network subsystem to be reused with other radio
access technologies. GPRS does not mandate changes to an installed MSC base also provide a
massive boost to the mobile data communication.
