Short Summary: Wireless Internet Access Based on GPRS

This paper discusses the performance issues faced by the end user related to web access over GPRS.

Paper starts with explaining the fundamental architecture of GPRS and uses simulation results to convince its efficiency over the air. This highlights the dynamic and flexible allocation of radio resources, which contributes to efficient multiplexing and increased throughput, as a key advantage in GPRS. This also compares circuit-switched approach with GPRS’ packet switched approach and discusses it’s characteristics over circuit-switched approach.

A feature of this paper is that its presentation is very well structured. This describes GPRS network architecture in a highly readable manner, using very descriptive diagrams in places where necessary. At the same time simulation results too, published in a highly understandable way using a graphical representation.
