 History

In 1st G AMPS(Advanced Mobile system)

developed in U.S in 1983
In 2nd G there was introduction of
CDMA,TDMA and GSM
Between 2nd and 2.5th G of GPRS
Between 2.5th and 3rd G there was an
introduction EDGE TECHNOLOGY

 Introduction

Enhanced data for global evolution(EDGE) is

a high speed mobile data standard,intended to
enable second generation global system for
mobile communication (GSM) and time
division multiple access(TDMA).
Transmits data at up to 384 kilobits per
second(Kbps)

 EDGE Technology

Evolutionary path to 3G services for GSM and

TDMA operators
Builds on General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
air interface and networks
Phase 1 (Release’99 & 2002 deployment) supports
best effort packet data at speeds up to about 384
kbps
Phase 2 (Release’2000 & 2003 deployment) will
add Voice over IP capability

 EDGE
Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution

Can increase the capacity and data throughput

typically to 3-4-fold over GPRS
Theoretical maximum speeds of up to 473 kilobits
per second (kbps)
Average recognizable data rates between 80 and
130 kbps
TDMA carriers must still convert to GSM, then add
GPRS before deploying EDGE technology

 2.5G (Between 2G and 3G)

Uses General Packet Radio Services (GPRS)

technology.
GSM and TDMA were enhanced to packet
based networks
GPRS is primarily a simple software upgrade
on GSM and TDMA
Easy for the service providers to update their
networks

 GPRS
Packet based networked over existing circuit
switched GSM network.
GPRS radio resources are used only when
users are actually sending or receiving data.
Rather than dedicating a radio channel to a
mobile data user for a fixed period of time,
the available radio resource can be
concurrently shared between several users.
Brings desktop experience to wireless such as
web browsing and chat.
Enables file transferKARTHIK
3/20/11 and home automation.1111
 2.5G characteristics

Data rates 64 – 144 Kbps.

A leap from 9.6kbps of 2G to 64Kbps
Packet based networks.
Always-on connectivity.
Instant messaging + small attachments.
New wireless standards started emerging.

 GPRS shortcomings

GPRS packets are sent in all different directions

to reach the same destination
Potential for packet getting lost or corrupted
during the data transmission over the radio link.
Though it incorporates data integrity and
retransmission strategies, potential transit delays
can occur.

3/20/11 KARTHIK 1313

 EDGE Technology

EDGE – Enhanced Data GSM Environment.

Developed to increase the bandwidth of
GPRS technology.
EDGE increased the bandwidth of GSM from
144 Kbps to 384 Kbps.
Migration towards 3G technology started.

 Applications

EDGE enables operators to introduce 3G data applications

into existing GSM existing GSM networks and thereby
increase the speed of packet oriented transmission three-fold.
