PS System Structure

What is GPRS

GPRS is the abbreviation of General Packet Radio Service

GPRS provides end to end packet switch service for user based on GSM

n n n n

GPRS make the best use of existing GSM network GPRS provides highly efficient use of radio resources GPRS provides as high as 171.2Kbps access rate GPRS based on standard open interface

PS System Structure

What is PS
n n n

PS is the packet switch network in WCDMA core network PS provides end-to-end packet switch service for users PS has almost the same elements and network structure with GPRS PS can provides access for GPRS radio access equipment and 2/3G hybrid network WCDMA technology introduced to improve radio resources utilization ratio WCDMA-PS provides as high as 2Mbps access rate WCDMA-PS system based on standard interface

CG Function

CG implements the following functions:

CDRs generated by GSNs collected in real time; Buffering the CDRs Preprocessing the CDRs, such as CDR

consolidation and filtering, deleting certain CDR fields, and modifying or adding some CDR fields.
Transferring the CDRs to the BC.
