What is GPRS
GPRS is a new set of GSM-bearer services that
provide packet mode transmission within the GSM
network & interconnects with external packet data
networks.

How Does GPRS Work?
When a user turns on a GPRS device, typically it
will automatically scan for a local GPRS channel.
If an appropriate channel is detected, the device
will attempt to attach to the network. The SGSN
receives the attach request, fetches subscriber
profile information from the subscriber’s HLR
node, and authenticates the user. Ciphering may
be established at this point.
Sending and Receiving Packets
When the mobile user sends data, the SGSN routes
the packets to the appropriate GGSN. The GGSN then
routes the data according to the current "context"
established for the session.
Conversely, packets destined for the user are routed
to the GGSN associated with the user's IP address. The
GGSN checks the received packets against the current
context, identifies the SGSN that is serving the user, and
routes the traffic accordingly. The SGSN then forwards the
packets to the BSS where the subscriber is located.
