DNS
Converts IP names into IP addresses for example, server.nokia.com to 133.44.15.5
Firewall
Protects the IP network against external attack (for example, hackers from the mobile users or from the Internet) Firewall might be configured to reject all packets that are not part of a GPRS subscriber initiated connection Advantage of dynamic addressing Can also include NAT or NAPT
The Charging Gateway collects all this data together processes it passes it on to the Billing System

Key points
The Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN): acts as the interface between the GPRS network and external networks collects charging data and traffic statistics can allocate IP addresses for users routes packets coming from external networks towards the correct SGSN and vice versa Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN): converts protocols used in the IP backbone to protocols used in the BSS and the MS takes care of authentication and mobility management routes data to the relevant GGSN when connection to an external network is required collects charging data and traffic statistics

Key points
The most important open interfaces in the GPRS network are: Gb - SGSN to BSS Gn - between GSNs (GTP) Gr - between SGSN and HLR (MAP) Gs - SGSN to MSC (BSSAP+) Gi - GGSN to external data networks Gf - SGSN and the EIR (MAP) Gd - SGSN and the GMSC (SMSC) Gp - between GSNs of different PLMNs The user packets are transported encapsulated using the GPRS Tunnelling Protocol (GTP) over the GPRS backbone. The backbone is an IP network.

High data rates Uses 8-PSK modulation scheme
Bandwidth efficient
More bits per unit spectrum (greater speed) EDGE can be used with HSCSD ECSD (Enhanced Circuit Switched Data) = EDGE + HSCSD EDGE can be used with GPRS EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS) = EDGE + GPRS

3G requirements
The system should be fully specified (like GSM) The specifications should be valid worldwide Must bring clear added value Must be backward compatible with GSM and ISDN (at least for a short term) Should support multimedia systems
