Essays on Packet Radio

This is an acronym for General Packet Radio Service which can be approach as a second generation of wireless networks. This version of wireless networks can be claimed to have cropped from the former GSM (global service for mobile communications). Researchers found that GSM is best suited for wireless voice transfer but was (GSM) very slow in transferring data (digital data) from one mobile device to the next (Christian, 1999).

Therefore, GPRS is a new bearer of data transfer between mobile GSM stations and external networks. The main advantages of GPRS over GSM include speed, capacity and flexibility since it ...

Definition of the project Objectives:

The objective of this project is to design a microcontroller based system to obtain the information regarding the temperature of a remote place. It is usually inconvenient getting the readings of temperature, pressure etc. from the places that are very distant. But the advancement in technology has made this task possible. Our main objective is to design such a system. For this we will use the infrastructure of the existing mobile network, which is based on GPRS technique. This project investigates on creating very low cost device which can be adapted to many different applications using some very basic programming, and joining ...

INTRODUCTION

With increasing emergence of cellular computing and internet, cellular wireless technologies have found its way into the limelight to supplement the increasing demand for wireless data services. Existing data services pose a challenge for the delivery of quick easy and cheap connections. The current wireless technologies are based on circuit switched radio transmission. This transmission process allocates a channel to a single user in a network for an entire communication period and when the traffic levels reach a certain threshold inefficient resource utilization is likely to be observed. Therefore the transmission method is ineffective and in order to satisfy the user demands, better methods ...
