    This document discusses 2.75G EDGE technology and its evolution to 3G. It provides information on: - EDGE was first deployed in 2003 by AT&T in the US, offering data rates up to 384kbps using 8PSK modulation and error correction, providing internet browsing capabilities. - EDGE is part of 3G and is preferred over GPRS due to supporting both circuit-switched and packet-switched data. It allows clear, fast data transmission without additional hardware/software costs. - 3G networks first launched in 1998 in Japan and 2001 globally, offering wireless voice, video calls, and broadband data up to 14.4Mbps downlink. 3G technologies include

    The key takeaways are that EDGE is an upgrade to 2G networks that provides higher data rates than GPRS, while still using the same frequency bands and without requiring additional hardware. EDGE was the precursor to 3G networks.

    The main components of the EDGE network architecture are the SGSN, GGSN and PCU. The SGSN handles mobility management, authentication and charging. The GGSN connects the GPRS/EDGE network to external networks. The PCU differentiates circuit and packet switched data.

    The SGSN handles packet routing, mobility management, authentication, attach/detach and logical link management for mobiles. The GGSN organizes the interworking between the GPRS/EDGE network and external networks, acting as a gateway, router and firewall.

    75 G EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM


    Evolution)
    Third Generation Technology (3G)

    2.75 G EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM


    Evolution)
    EDGE was deployed on GSM networks beginning in
    2003 initially by Cingular (now AT&T) in USA.
    Data rate 384Kbps.
    Frequency- 850-1900 MHz
    EDGE is four times as efficient as GPRS.
    EDGE delivers higher bitrates per radio channel,
    resulting in increase in capacity and performance
    compared with an ordinary GSM/GPRS connection.
    It consist a new form of modulation (8 PSK) and
    different ways of encoding data to protect against
    errors.
    Cell phones using 2.75G have reasonable Internet
    browsing capabilities.

    Contd
    EDGE is radio technology and is a part of third
    generation technologies.
    EDGE technology is preferred over GSM due to its
    flexibility to carry packet switch data and circuit
    switch data.
    It allows the clear and fast transmission of data and
    information.
    The biggest advantage of EDGE technology is that it
    does not need to install any additional hardware and
    software in order to make use of EDGE Technology.
    There are no additional charges for exploiting this
    technology.

    2.75G EDGE Architecture

    SGSN (Serving GPRS Support


    Node)

    The SGSN or Serving GPRS Support Node element


    of the GPRS network provides a number of takes
    focussed on the IP elements of the overall system.
    It provides a variety of services to the mobiles:
    Packet routing and transfer
    Mobility management
    Authentication
    Attach/detach
    Logical link management
    Charging data

    GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support


    Node)
    Gateway GPRS Support Node is one of the most important

    entities within the GSM EDGE network architecture.


    The GGSN organises the inter-working between the GPRS /
    EDGE network and external packet switched networks to
    which the mobiles may be connected.
    The GGSN can be considered to be a combination of a
    gateway, router and firewall as it hides the internal
    network to the outside.
    In operation, when the GGSN receives data addressed to a
    specific user, it checks if the user is active, then
    forwarding the data.
    In the opposite direction, packet data from the mobile is
    routed to the right destination network by the GGSN.

    PCU (Packet Control Unit)


    The PCU or Packet Control Unit is a hardware
    router that is added to the BSC.
    It differentiates data destined for the standard
    GSM network (circuit switched data) and data
    destined for the EDGE network (Packet Switched
    Data).
    The PCU itself may be a separate physical entity,
    or more often these days it is incorporated into
    the base station controller, BSC, thereby saving
    additional hardware costs.

    Third Generation Technology


    (3G)

    The first pre-commercial 3G network was launched


    byNTT DoCoMoin Japan on 1998, branded asFOMA.
    The first commercial launch of 3G was also by NTT
    DoCoMo in Japan on 1 October 2001
    It is based on the International Telecommunication
    Union (ITU) family of standards under the International
    Mobile Telecommunications programme, IMT-2000.
    Services include wide area wireless voice telephony,
    video calls, and broadband wireless data, all in a mobile
    environment.
    It also include High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) data
    transmission capabilities able to deliver speeds up to
    14.4Mbit/s on the downlink and 5.8Mbit/s on the uplink.

    Contd
    Frequency- 1.6-2.5GHz
    Data Capacity- 384Kbps
    3G technologies make use of value added
    services like mobile television, GPS (global
    positioning system) and video conferencing.
    The basic feature of 3G Technology is fast data
    transfer rates.
    3G technologies as W-CDMA,GSM EDGE, UMTS,
    DECT, WiMax and CDMA 2000.
    Example of 3G is the UMTS (Universal Mobile
    Telecommunications System).
