Gprs And 3G

Abstract

In this research paper entitled "GPRS and 3G Mobile Communications", we look into the evolution of Mobile Communications over the years and the direction they may take in coming years. Taking into consideration the popularity of GPRS and 3G technology in today’s mobile communications spectrum, it is essential that we look deep into the mechanism that makes these services tick. We discuss in detail mobile services and technologies that have revolutionized the Mobile Communications world like GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) and the 3G services like UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and W-CDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access).

The key element that differentiates all the technologies from one another is their data rate. Data rates become higher as the technology evolves and this constitutes the popularity and success of the service. Without going deep into the atomic components of the mobile communications system, this paper aims to present the path mobile communications has taken and will take in the future. The primary focus is on GPRS and 3G, two of the most widely used and popular standards. The paper covers, with the help of graphical representation and text content, the impact of these two standards in the world of Mobile Communications.

Introduction

Wireless Mobile communications has emerged as the most popular and convenient form of communications in the past decade. Mobile networks are increasingly being used to connect to the internet and the demand for faster technologies has never been more. Over the years, mobile technologies have evolved rapidly to provide users with their demands and equip them with advanced tools and provide stronger connectivity.

Among all the technologies of today .GPRS remains a popular service and later, with the emergence of 3G, users have been provided with strong and convenient mobile connectivity with enhanced features.
