Description of GPRS System
The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a GSM data service
which is capable to provide mobile phone users with higher
data transfer rates over the public switched telephone network
(PSTN).
The system can transfer data in packet over the air interface,
and uses existing TCP/IP protocols to mate with the Internet
and other data networks.

Appendix B General Information in the
GSM System
The GSM System 9-2
For your reference, some major information in the GSM system is

described in this appendix.

The GSM System

A GSM mobile phone transmits speech as bursts of encoded
data. An RF carrier is modulated by the special form of
frequency modulation known as the Gaussian Minimum Shift
keying (GMSK). Signals are transmitted in short bursts (577 ms
each) using the method called Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA) on Absolute RF Channels (ARFCNs) spaced 200 kHz
apart.
RF Channels
Table 9-1 shows the RF channel frequencies and channel
numbers for each radio standard.
