An Authoritative Guide to 2.5G Networking Technologies, this book culminates the trilogy of books written by Sumit Kasera and Nishit Narang on three key wireless technologies – 2G, 2.5G and 3G Mobile Networks. Even though 2G and 2.5G technologies, as compared to 3G, are more than a decade old, the current corporate battle for 2G spectrum in India, indicates the significance and growth potential of these technologies, including GSM and GPRS.

2.5G Mobile Networks is a complete coverage of GPRS and EDGE concepts presented in simple non-technical language without complex mathematics. An ideal primer for those working in or studying networking technologies, this book focusses mainly on procedures and basis of signalling exchanges. Readers will find a detailed treatment on GPRS network architecture, a healthy mix of concepts and protocols of Air Interface and Core Network, discussion on GPRS user-plane aspects with focus on user-plane protocols, important aspects of EDGE and much more?

This book will be a valuable guide to both engineers and students working on GPRS and EDGE. It will also be a great follow-up for those who want to gain knowledge on GSM and know more about the intermediate technologies before studying 3G UMTS.
