Migration of Gsm Networks to Edge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Standardized in 3GPP as part of the GSM/WCDMA family, EDGE is a simple and cost-efficient upgrade that provides a more than threefold increase in both the capacity and performance of GSM/GPRS networks. EDGE is a digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates as a backward-compatible extension of GSM. The structure of EDGE resembles to that of GSM network that enables it to be directly overlaid on the present structure of GSM network. Thus EDGE is also termed as backward compatible technology. EDGE combines efficient technology , a simple upgrade path and support in a large proportion of GSM and WCDMA terminals to create a compelling business case.

A TESLA-based mutual authentication protocol for GSM networks
The widespread use of wireless cellular networks has made security an ever increasing concern. GSM is the most popular wireless cellular standard, but security is an issue. The most critical weakness in the GSM protocol is the use of one-way entity authentication, i.e., only the mobile station is authenticated by the network. This creates many security problems including vulnerability against m...
متن کاملRadio Resource Management Performance for the GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network
This chapter presents a broad study on the potential of applying RRM techniques to the global system for mobile communication (GSM)/enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE) system. Even though the presented results are focused on the GSM/EDGE system, the principles employed by most of the considered RRM techniques can be applied to other radio access networks (RANs). We thus hope that the r...
متن کاملEdge-tenacity in Networks
Numerous networks as, for example, road networks, electrical networks and communication networks can be modeled by a graph. Many attempts have been made to determine how well such a network is "connected" or stated differently how much effort is required to break down communication in the system between at least some nodes. Two well-known measures that indicate how "reliable" a graph is are the...

Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) started to be developed by Europeans when the removal of many European trade barriers (encouraging business travel) intensified the need to provide “communications without boundaries”. In 1982, European Posts and Telecommunications Conference (CEPT) allocated two 25 MHz blocks of channels for a future Pan-European Cellular System. A special group wa...
متن کاملEDGE: enhanced data rates for GSM and TDMA/136 evolution
Two of the major second generation standards, GSM and TDMA/1361, have built the foundation to offer a common global radio access for data services. Through use of a common physical layer, EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM and TDMA/136 Evolution), both standards will have the same evolutionary path towards providing third-generation services. EDGE is currently subject to standardization in TIA T...
