Enhanced Data Rate for Global Evolution

Chapter
Session Objective
Topics to be covered in this session : EDGE Comparison between GSM/GPRS/EDGE

By:- Gaurav Kumar

EDGE
EDGE acts as a bolt-on enhancement to 2G and 2.5G, i.e.

GPRS

EDGE is also known as Enhanced GPRS, a superset to GPRS

Can carry data speeds up to 384 Kbps in packet mode

Meet the ITU's requirement for a 3G network

EDGE requires no H/W changes in GSM core networks

BSSs must be modified

EDGE protocol

GPRS and EDGE have different protocols On core network, GPRS & EDGE share the same packet-handling

protocols and, therefore, behave in the same way. EDGE is only an "add-on" to BSS, easier to introduce than GPRS

Comparison:-GPRS vs EDGE
GPRS Modulation Symbol rate GMSK 270 ksym/s EDGE 8-PSK/GMSK 270 ksym/s 810kb/s 69.2 kb/s 59.2 kb/s (MCS9) 473.6 kb/s
By:- Gaurav Kumar

Modulation bit rate 270 kb/s Radio data rate per time slot 20.8 kb/s

User data rate per 20 kb/s (CS4) time slot User data rate (8 160 kb/s time slots)

MODULATION CODING SCHEMES

EDGE uses 9 Modulation Coding Schemes ( MCS1 to MCS9 ) MCS1 to MCS4 use GMSK MCS5 to MCS9 use 8PSK Packet sent with MCS5 to MCS9, if not properly received, can be retransmitted with MCS1 to MCS4 (lower coding scheme)

PACKET HANDLING IN GPRS

By:- Gaurav Kumar

PACKET HANDLING
Addressing window GPRS Size of addressing window is 64 in GPRS. Before a sequence of packets can be transmitted over the Um interface, TX must address the packets with an identification number, numbered from 1 to 128. After transmission of sequence of packets, TX asks RX to verify the correctness of the packets received by ACK/NACK report. Since packets are limited to 128 and addressing window is 64, the packet sending process can run out of addresses after 64 packets, the protocol between terminal and network stalls

By:- Gaurav Kumar

PACKET HANDLING
Addressing Window EDGE In EDGE, the addressing numbers increased to 2048 and window Size has been increased to 1024 to minimize risk for stalling.
