The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is being deployed by GSM network operators world-wide, and promises to provide users with “always-on” data access at bandwidths comparable to that of conventional fixed-wire telephone modems. However, many users have found the reality to be rather different, experiencing very disappointing performance when, for example, browsing the web over GPRS. In this paper, we examine the causes, and show how unfortunate interactions between the GPRS link characteristics and TCP/IP protocols lead to poor performance. A performance characterization of the GPRS link-layer is presented, determined through extensive measurements taken over production networks. We present measurements of packet loss rates, bandwidth availability, link stability, and round-trip time. The effect these characteristics have on TCP behavior are examined, demonstrating how they can result in poor link utilization, excessive packet queueing, and slow recovery from packet losses. Further, we show that the HTTP protocol can compound these issues, leading to dire WWW performance. We go on to show how the use of a transparent proxy interposed near the wired-wireless border can be used to alleviate many of these performance issues without requiring changes to either client or server end systems.

We usually applied PPP CHAP when the visited ISP subscriber accesses to authentication server in own home ISP network and IP Assignment for remote Internet service. But PPP CHAP doesn't support in case of visited ISP subscriber in GPRS network accesses to authentication sorrel in own home ISP network for wireless Internet service. We suggest solution for this problem with PPP CHAP improvement. For this we propose the modified PPP CHAP message format, PCO Message format at MT, and interworking message and format between GGSN and RADIUS in home ISP network for wireless internet service of mobile ISP subscriber at GPRS network in this paper. We also show authentication results when visited mobile ISP subscriber via PPP CHAP at GPRS network accesses the RADIUS server in home ISP network.

In the GPRS(General Packet Radio Service) network, the transport layer between SGSN(Serving GPRS Support Node) and GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) is based on IP-Over ATM Network. which means that the connectionless IP traffic is transmitted through connection oriented ATM transport layer. Efficient resource management is needed to perform connection and disconnection of the pertinent VC because of the connectionless IP traffic being passed through ATM transport layer In this paper, Internet Web service traffic model in the GPRS network is applied to the various VC holding Cost Pricing Model. each method is compared through analyzing each VC utilization and setup rate.

This paper describes problems when visited ISP subscriber gets dynamic IP address in home ISP for wireless internet service on GPRS network. We propose a specific DHCP relay for wireless internet service of visited ISP subscriber on GPRS network. We designed and implemented the specific DHCP relay and installed it in ISP testbed. We show the allocated dynamic IP address using specific DHCP relay for visited ISP subscriber on GPRS network. Now we think it is possible the visited ISP subscriber can access wireless internet service on GPRS network using specific DHCP relay, and UMTS system can be managed IP address for subscriber roaming.

Because of the rapid growth of the mobile communication, the need for the mobile internet access has grown up as well. since the current mobile communication network, however, is optimized for a voice communication system, which exclusively occupies a channel for a given time, it is not suitable for variable rate packet data. In order to support the mobile internet access, it is essential do design a reasonable packet switching network which supports the mobility. Since mobile packet network has longer latency, high speed switching and QoS are required to meet the user's requirements. In this paper, we suggest an resonable way to construct a network and its operation procedures utilizing GPRS(General Packet Radio Service) network and MPLS(Multi Protocol Label Switching) to provide a high speed switching and QoS mobile internet access. GPRS is used as a network which supports the mobility and MPLS guarantees the QoS and high speed IP protocol transmission based on the ATM switching technology.

GPRS(General Packet Radio Service) 서비스는 circuit 기반의 GSM(Global System for Mobile Communication)의 기본 망구조를 이용하여 packet 서비스를 지원하도록 변형시킨 모델이다. 기본적으로 GPRS는 GSM의 많은 부분을 계승하여 서비스를 지원하고 있기 때문에 GSM이 가지고 있던 문제점을 그대로 이어받게 되었는데, 본 논문에서는 사용자 인증 프로시져등에서 문제시 될 수 있는 부분들에 대해 살펴보고, 이를 보완 할 수 있는 방법으로 공개키의 암호화 모드와 인증 모드를 사용한 인증 프로시져와 시스템 구조를 소개하고자 한다. 또한 공개키 구조의 인증을 사용함으로써 필요로 하게 되는 키 관리에 대한 방법을 제시하고 앞으로 해결해 나가야 될 문제에 대해 언급을 하고자 한다.

GSM(Global System for Mobile Communications)은 현재 가장 광범위하게 사용되고 있는 디지털 이동 통신의 표준이다. 또한 GSM 표준에서 데이터 전송의 최종 evolution 버전인 EDGE(Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution)와 GSM Phase2＋ 개발의 일부분인 GSM 망에서 packet switching을 구현하는 기술인 GPRS(General Packet Radio Service)가 현재 유럽의 정보통신 표준화 기구인 ETSI(European Telecommunications Standards Institute)에 의해 표준화가 진행 중에 있다. GSM 시스템은 사용자 데이터의 기밀성을 보장하기 위한 암호화 알고리즘 A5를 사용하고 있지만 그 취약성이 계속 보고되고 있다. $^{[10,11]}$ 따라서 GSM의 강화된 암호화 알고리즘과 EDGE와 GPRS에서 사용자 데이터를 보호하기 위한 새로운 암호화 알고리즘의 개발이 요구되어왔다. 최근 ETSI의 SAGE(Security Algorithms Group of Experts)는 이러한 목적을 달성할 수 있는 새로운 표준 암호화 알고리즘 A5/3과 GEA3을 개발하였다. $^{[3,4,5,6]}$본 고에서는 GSM, EDGE, GPRS에서의 새로운 표준 암호화 알고리즘 A5/3과 GEA3을 분석하여 정리하고자 한다.

This paper presents the unified user equipment (UE) baseband modulation and demodulation (modem) hardware platform architecture to support multiple radio access technologies. In particular, this platform selectively supports two systems; one is HEDGE system, which is the combination of third generation partnership project (3GPP) Release 7 high speed packet access evolution (HSPA+) and global system for mobile communication (GSM)/general packet radio service (GPRS)/enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE), while the other is LEDGE system, which is the combination of 3GPP Release 8 long term evolution (LTE) and GSM/GPRS/EDGE. This is done by applying the flexible pin multiplexing scheme to a hardwired pin mapping process. On the other hand, to provide stable connection, high portability, and high debugging ability, the stacking structure is employed. Here, a layered board architecture grouped by functional classifications is applied instead of the conventional one flatten board. Based on this proposed configuration, we provide a framework for the verification step in wireless cellular communications. Also, modem function/scenario test and inter-operability test with various base station equipments are verified by system requirements and scenarios.

This paper introduces a design scheme of intelligent gas valve management and service system based on Internet. This scheme adds sensor and general packet radio service (GPRS) modules to the traditional gas valve and establishes communication connection between gas valve and the server through wireless packet communication technology, which makes the traditional gas valve have the networking ability. Compared with the traditional gas valve management and service business, the method proposed in this paper is more convenient and efficient.
