Evolution
These new technologies provide solutions to increase the
data rates over existing GSM and IS-136 Networks
HSCSD, GPRS & EDGE are collectively called 2.5G,
however EDGE is regarded by many as a 3G technology.

HSCSD
y High Speed Circuit Switched Data - HSCSD
y HSCSD is a circuit switched technology
y All today's cellular networks are circuit
switched
y A physical channel is assigned for the
duration of the call
y Physical channel connection is maintained
even if data is not being transferred
Agilent Technologies
GPRS
y General Packet Radio Service - GPRS
y GPRS is a packet switched technology
y This is very different to today’s cellular
network architectures
y A physical channel is only assigned when
data needs to be transmitted or received
y Physical channels can be shared between
different mobile users
Agilent Technologies
Circuit versus Packet Switched
Circuit Switched
y i.e. HSCSD
y Each physical
channel is assigned
y Suitable for..
- Time critical apps
- e.g. videophone
y Complements..
- PSTN & ISDN
y Charged by…
- The minute
Agilent Technologies
Packet Switched
y i.e. GPRS
y Each physical channel
is shared
y Suitable for..
- Web browsing
- Email
- Stock Values, etc
y Complements..
- TCP/IP, X25
y Charged by..
- The BIT (& QoS)
Physical Layer Aspects
of HSCSD & GPRS
y Most changes to ‘conventional’ GSM are
above layer 1 (i.e. protocol)
y However at the physical layer both HSCSD
& GPRS…
= ‘Multi-slot’
y In other words, for the first time Mobile
Stations can transmit during more than one
slot per frame.
Agilent Technologies
Multi-slot = More data throughput
HSCSD & GPRS mobiles can transmit and
receive on multiple GSM timeslots per frame.

Agilent Technologies
Multi-slot Combinations
Many combinations of Uplink and Downlink data
rates are possible. For example a Web browser will
require much higher downlink data rates than uplink.

HSCSD & GPRS mobile’s can now transmit on
multiple uplink slots and these can be at
different power levels.

What is EDGE?
y EDGE = Enhanced Data rates for GSM
Evolution
y EDGE is an extension to HSCSD and GPRS

ECSD
EGPRS
y EDGE defines a new modulation format
(8PSK) that allows services such as HSCSD
& GPRS to go faster

challenges
Agilent Technologies
New Measurement for EDGE
y New EVM measurement has been defined for
EDGE
EVM = Error Vector Magnitude
y Provides a solution for measuring non-constant
amplitude signals
y Agilent is playing lead role in EVM measurement
definition at ETSI

(High Speed Packet Data)
y IS-136 EDGE Consists of 2
formats:
y EDGE Compact = 3 Carriers
y EDGE Classic = Standard
EDGE
U.S. IS-136 Operators are aggressively pursuing EDGE
EDGE is needed to to enable IS-136 operators to compete
directly with IS-95 and IS-2000
Agilent Technologies
Market Summary - Dec 00
y HSCSD
y Considered a niche market, only a few operators plan to
introduce an HSCSD service
y Orange (UK) planning to release HSCSD videophone
Q1’01 (over 18 months later than planned)
y GPRS
y Late introduction of mobiles has delayed service intro.
y Trials having problems delivering promised data rates
y EDGE
y Unclear if EDGE will happen in Europe
y Recent AT&T announcement has put question mark over
EDGE in US
y Long term EDGE seen as a compliment to W-CDMA
