Performance study of GPRS in mobile communications
The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packet-switched enhancement of existing Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) networks. It is developed to allow large amounts of data to be sent over cellular networks at speeds three to four times greater than conventional GSM systems. Because G...
