The basic unit of bandwith in GPRS is the channel. Each channel can
transmit 8 to 12 kbps of data with the data coding scheme used today by
most networks (named CS1 and CS2). New coding scheme (CS3 and
CS4) will allow better data rates (14.4 to 20kbps) in specific areas.
Depending on their class, a device can use to 5 channels simultaneously
(the limit is 4 for a single direction: you can have 4 channels used in
download and 1 upload but not 5 channels for upload and 0 for
download).
