By beginning with an explanation of why GPRS is necessary and describing the core concept of GPRS operations, the TBF (Temporary Block Flow), a revision section then covers the GSM Air Interface with its Radio, Physical and Logical channels and this progressively leads to the GPRS logical channels - whaGeneral Packet Radio ServiceGlobal system for mobile communicationsMobile computingGeneral Packet Radio Service.Global system for mobile communications.Mobile computing.621.38456McGuiggan Peter1661708MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828341403321GPRS in practice4017808UNINA
