AIM OF THE PRESENTATION
To familiarize the audience what EDGE
TECHNOLOGY is all about.

To explain it’s advantage over other technology.

FUTURE SCOPE of the existing technology.

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
MCS-7 44.8 8-PSK
MCS-8 54.4 8-PSK
MCS-9 59.2 8-PSK

 Advantages
Balanced improved bit rate at all radio conditions

No hardware, software change to GSM core networks

Supports download various file types

9
Handle four times the traffic of standard GPRS

Smart & adaptive antennas

Triples gross data rate by GSM

Circuit-switched and packet-switched traffic coexist

10
Rapid Internet and WAP access

Service available for EDGE phones without tariff charge

Avoids creating new system

11
 DISADVANTAGES:
EDGE requires base station modifications

Extra mobile terminal hardware and software

required

Frequently referred to as 2.75G

12
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.
