Abstract

By applying a packet radio service to transfer user data between the mobile stations and external networks such as the Internet or enterprise networks; the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), as a bearer service for GSM Mobile Networks, is supposed to greatly improve the data access of mobile users those external networks. GPRS as a service by itself and as foundation for third generation mobile systems (e.g. UMTS) became an interesting area for study and evaluation mainly in the area of Quality of Services. In this paper, we present a model for GPRS QoS measurements as well as the results of accessibility parameters related to data performance in a life network.
