GPRS Vs GSM
GPRS
1. SUPPORTS BOTH CKT.
SWITCHED as well as
packet switched service.
Vs
GSM
Only circuit switched.
2. MS Utilizes Automatic
retransmission (ARQ) at
data link layer to re-transmit
error frames.
No re-transmission is
provided.
E-mail, fax,
intranet/ internet access.

MS CLASS
&
CODING SCEMES
MS Class
CLASS A:
Supports simultaneous attach, simultaneous activation,
simultaneous monitor, simultaneous invocation, and
simultaneous traffic.
CLASS B:
Simultaneous traffic shall is not supported. The mobile user
can make and/or receive calls on either of the two services
sequentially but not simultaneously. The selection of the
appropriate service is performed automatically
CLASS C:
Supports only non-simultaneous attach. Alternate use only.
The status of the service which has not been selected is detached,
that is, not reachable.
