Topic: Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution

	3G Americas::Unifying the Americas through Wireless Technology
		Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is a third-generation (3G) technology that enables high-speed packet-data services such as Internet access and streaming multimedia.
		Although EDGE is a data technology, it also helps boost the number of voice calls that a network can handle simultaneously by sending data up to 150% more efficiently than GPRS.
		With EDGE transmitting more data into the same amount of bandwidth, the voice-coding or “vocoder” technology in the GSM voice network can be upgraded to a version that increases voice capacity between 15% and 20%.

	Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution, or EDGE, is a digital mobile phone technology which acts as a bolt-on enhancement to 2G and 2.5G General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) networks.
		EDGE can carry data speeds up to 236.8 kbit/s for 4 timeslots (theoretical maximum is 473.6 kbit/s for 8 timeslots) in packet mode and will therefore meet the International Telecommunications Union's requirement for a 3G network, and has been accepted by the ITU as part of the IMT-2000 family of 3G standards.
		T-Mobile and Pannon GSM have a wide coverage of EDGE in Hungary, even in some rural areas in addition to major cities and motorways.

	What is GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)?
		EDGE (Enhanced Data-Rates for GSM Evolution) enabled GSM networks are able to implement EGPRS (Enhanced General Packet Radio Service), an enhanced version of GPRS.
		Because the requirements of voice and data communication are different, the operation of the GSM radio channel is different.
		This course discusses the key procedures that are performed in the GPRS packet data network, including those that are performed by the mobile to make its presence known in the network, to initiate a data session and to deactivate the data session.

	EDGE - Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution
		Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is a digital mobile phone technology which acts as a bolt-on enhancement to 2G and 2.5G (a.k.a.
		EDGE, like GPRS, uses a rate adaptation algorithm that adapts the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) used to the quality of the radio channel, and thus the bit rate and robustness of data transmission.
		It can carry data speeds up to 236.8 kbit/s for 4 time slots (theoretical maximum is 473.6 kbit/s for 8 time slots) in packet mode and will therefore meet the International Telecommunications Union's requirement for a 3G network, and has been accepted by the ITU as part of the IMT-2000 family of 3G standards.

		Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is a radio based high-speed mobile data standard which acts as an enhancement for General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) networks.
		The objective of the new technology is to increase data transmission rates and spectrum efficiency and to facilitate new applications and increased capacity for mobile use.
		The idea behind EDGE is to eke out even higher data rates on the current 200 kHz GSM radio carrier by changing the type of modulation used, whilst still working with current circuit (and packet) switches.

	An Adaptive Radio Link Protocol with Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution
		Wireless data channels are subject to significant interference and fading as well as propagation variations, resulting in widely varying received signal quality [9].
		This rate increase is achieved by introducing a higher-level modulation format, namely 8-phase shift keying (PSK) which transmits 3 b/symbol, instead of the current GSM modulation, which uses a technique called Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) that transmits 1 b/symbol [13].
		The purpose of the RLP is to asynchronously transport data between unspecified layer 3 entities.

		GSM was primarily developed as a standard for mobile voice telephony, but can support data at up to 22.8 kbit/s.
		Although EDGE derives originally from GSM, it is also being taken-up as the next stage in the evolution of the US ‘TDMA/136’ mobile communications standard, for which purposes the acronym is being taken to represent ‘Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution’.
		Although performance data is presented in terms of data rates, packet delay distributions and spectral efficiency, there is no consideration of the consequences of these parameters for a wireless internet.
