Scope
This TS defines the stage one description of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). Stage one is an overall service
description, primarily from the service subscriber's and user's points of view, but does not deal with the details of the
human interface itself. This TS includes information applicable to network operators, service providers and terminal,
switch and data base manufacturers.
This TS contains the core requirements for the packet switched networks specified by 3GPP which are sufficient to
provide a complete service. It defines a set of bearer services that provide packet mode transmission within the PLMN
and interwork with external networks.
The term GPRS shall be used in this document to refer the GPRS service offered via GERAN and UTRAN and the PS
Domain of the 3G PLMN.
The GPRS shall not prevent the user's operation of other 3GPP services.

4 Main Concepts
The GPRS allows the service subscriber to send and receive data in an end-to-end packet transfer mode, without
utilizing network resources in circuit switched mode.
GPRS enables the cost effective and efficient use of network resources for packet mode data applications e.g. for
applications that exhibit one or more of the following characteristics:
-
intermittent, non-periodic (i.e., bursty) data transmissions, where the time between successive transmissions
greatly exceeds the average transfer delay;
frequent transmissions of small volumes of data, for example transactions consisting of less than 500 octets of
data occurring at a rate of up to several transactions per minute;
infrequent transmission of larger volumes of data, for example transactions consisting of several kilobytes of
data occurring at a rate of up to several transactions per hour.
Within the GPRS, two different bearer service types are defined. These are:
-
Point-To-Point (PTP);
Point-To-Multipoint (PTM).
Based on standardized network protocols supported by the GPRS bearer services, a GPRS network administration may
offer (or support) a set of additional services. This is outside the scope of this specification, however, a number of
possible PTP interactive teleservices include:
-
retrieval services which provide the capability of accessing information stored in data base centres. The
information is sent to the user on demand only. An example of one such service in the Internet's World Wide Web
(WWW);
messaging services which offer user-to-user communication between individual users via storage units with
store-and-forward mailbox, and/or message handling (e.g., information editing, processing and conversion)
functions;
conversational services which provide bi-directional communication by means of real-time (no store-andforward) end-to-end information transfer from user to user. An example of such a service is the Internet's Telnet
application;
tele-action services which are characterized by low data-volume (short) transactions, for example credit card
validations, lottery transactions, utility meter readings and electronic monitoring and surveillance systems.
Some examples of teleservices which may be supported by a PTM bearer service include:
-
distribution services which are characterized by the unidirectional flow of information from a given point in the
network to other (multiple) locations. Examples may include news, weather and traffic reports, as well as
product or service advertisements;
dispatching services which are characterized by the bi-directional flow of information from a given point in the
network (dispatcher) and other (multiple) users. Examples include taxi and public utility fleet services;
conferencing services which provide multi-directional communication by means of real-time (no store-andforward) information transfer between multiple users.
Some examples of teleservices which may be supported by either PTP or PTM bearers include:
-
user subscribed services where a priori agreement is made for delivery of data to a user, such as stock quotes,
sports results, specific product or service advertisements, and email.
EGPRS is an enhancement of GPRS for GERAN allowing higher data rates on the radio interface. The same set of
services provided by GPRS is available in EGPRS.
HSDPA is an enhancement to Packet data services for UTRAN allowing higher data rates on the radio interface
downlink. The same set of services provided by GPRS is available with GPRS using HSDPA.

In general the mobile user of a GPRS network will receive and experience all the services provided by an external data
network. In this case the external data network refers to the network that the GPRS PLMN interworks with as
determined by the network operator. With this in mind it can be said that a user :1) will require a universal identity(ies) of the form compatible with the interworked with network(s);
2) and experience access to and provision of all services as offered by the interworked with networks (some
reduction of capability may result from unavoidable restrictions due to the complexity of implementation).
IP networks;
5.2.1.1
GPRS shall satisfy, within the constraints introduced by the mobile radio environment, the QoS requirements of the
interworked-with network.
A GPRS subscriber identified by an IMSI, may have a network layer address(es) temporarily and/or permanently
associated with it that conforms to the standard addressing scheme of the respective network layer service used, e.g.:
-
In the case of a simple point to point connection, a GPRS subscriber need not have an associated network layer
address.
3GPP
Release 11

The PTP service provides a transmission of one or more packets between two users, initiated by a service requester and
received by a receiver.
There is one PTP service: - PTP Connectionless Network Service (PTP-CLNS). The PTM service provides a
transmission of packets between a service requester and a receiver group.
There is one PTM service:
-
IP Multicast (IP-M).
An invocation of the service request by a service requester is possible from the fixed and mobile access points.
Table 1 presents the relationship between service requests and the Service Requester/Receiver.

An invocation of a service by any user with the appropriate subscription profile shall be possible.
It shall be possible to validate a service request against a service subscriber's subscription profile.
5.6.2.1
The defined QoS parameter values, assume the user is at a location with acceptable -coverage and refer to and are valid
for normal network operating conditions or, as in the case of the service precedence parameter, regulate how the
network shall handle abnormal conditions.
5.6.2.1.1
The service precedence indicates the relative priority of maintaining the service. For example under abnormal
conditions (e.g. network congestion) packets which may be discarded can be identified. The following precedence
levels are defined:
-
High precedence: Service commitments will be maintained ahead of all other precedence levels.
Normal precedence: Service commitments will be maintained ahead of low priority users.
Low precedence: Service commitments will be maintained after the high and normal priority commitments have
been fulfilled.
5.6.2.1.2
Reliability
The reliability parameter indicates the transmission characteristics that are required by an application. The reliability
class defines the probability of loss of, duplication of, mis-sequencing of or corruption of SDUs.

a) To protect against buffer overflow or a protocol malfunction, there is a maximum holding time for each SDU in
the GPRS network after which the SDU is discarded. The maximum holding time depends on the protocols used
(e.g., TCP/IP).
b) Corrupt SDU probability: the probability that a SDU will be delivered to the user with an undetected error.
5.6.2.1.3
Delay
GPRS is not a store and forward service - although data is temporarily stored at network nodes during transmission thus, any delay incurred is due to technical transmission characteristics (or limitations) of the system and is to be
minimised for a particular delay class. The delay parameter thus defines the maximum values for the mean delay and
95-percentile delay to be incurred by the transfer of data through the GPRS network(s). The delay parameter defines the
end-to-end transfer delay incurred in the transmission of SDUs through the GPRS network(s).
This includes the radio channel access delay (on uplink) or radio channel scheduling delay (on downlink), the radio
channel transit delay (uplink and/or downlink paths) and the GPRS-network transit delay (multiple hops). It does not
include transfer delays in external networks.
Delay is measured between the R or S (for UE) and Gi (for FS) reference points when applied to "UE to fixed station
(FS)" or "FS to UE" transmissions.

The SDUs used to establish communications between network and UE are counted in the averages in the above table if
they also contain user data.
5.6.2.1.4
Throughput
The throughput parameter indicates the user data throughput requested by the user.
Throughput is defined by two negotiable parameters:
-
Mean bit rate (includes, for example for "bursty" transmissions, the periods in which no data is transmitted.)
3GPP
Release 11
17
The maximum and mean bit rates can be negotiated to a value up to the Information Transfer Rate value (see table 3).
It shall be possible for the network to re-negotiate the throughput parameters at any time during a session.
5.6.2.2
The subscribers QoS profile for the PTP service consists of the following parameters which are negotiated or set to
default values:
-
reliability,
delay,
5.6.2.3
Monitor
As an option, the UE may monitor the current QoS level. If this option is implemented, the following information shall
be monitored:
-
reliability,
The UE shall provide means of communicating this information to the application(s) via the R and S reference points as
shown in Figure 2.
Operational Requirements
3GPP
Release 11
Class A:
18
The UE is attached to both GPRS and other services. The UE supports simultaneous attach,
simultaneous activation, simultaneous monitor, simultaneous invocation and simultaneous traffic.
The mobile user can make and/or receive calls/sessions on the two services simultaneously subject
to the QoS requirements.
UTRAN will only support Class A mode of operation
In GERAN Class A mode of operation may be achieved using Dual Transfer Mode (DTM)
functionality [10]
Class B:
The UE is attached to both GPRS and other services, but the UE can only operate one set of
services at a time. When the UE is in both idle mode and packet idle mode it should be able to
monitor paging channels for both circuit-switched and packet-switched services depending on the
mode of network operation.
At least one mode of network operation shall be defined so that when an UE is in both idle mode
and packet idle mode it shall be able to respond to paging for both circuit-switched and packetswitched services. A mode of network operation where the network performs the paging for
circuit-switched and packet-switched services on different paging channels is also defined. In such
case an UE in both idle mode and packet idle mode should either attempt to listen to both paging
channels with priority for the circuit-switched service or revert to class-C mode of operation.
If in a mode of network operation the network performs both the paging for circuit-switched and
packet-switched services on the same paging channel, then the UE shall respond to paging
messages for both services.
There is no requirement for the UE to monitor the packet paging channel when in dedicated mode.
One mode of network operation shall be defined so that when an UE is engaged in packet data
transfer, it shall receive paging messages via the packet data channel without degradation of the
packet data transfer. Modes of network operation where paging for other services is not done via
the packet data channel are also defined. In such cases an UE engaged in packet data transfer may
attempt to receive paging messages.
When responding to a paging message for other services, the UE shall establish the connection for
that incoming service (i.e., enter dedicated mode) and suspend GPRS activity. GPRS activity is
resumed upon return to idle mode.
If paged for an incoming circuit-switched call, the UE shall indicate the presence of the call to the
user or user's application, and where possible provide to the user the CLI. It shall be possible for
the user (or the user's application) to decide how to proceed with an incoming call (e.g., accept the
call, indicate UDUB, or invoke Call Deflection).
It shall be possible for the UE to receive SMS-CB messages if it attached to GPRS but is not
engaged in packet data transfer.
Class B is not applicable to UTRAN or GERAN Iu Mode.
NOTE 2: Users should be aware that monitoring paging (in some modes of network operation), responding to
paging, alerting of circuit-switched service, or acceptance or establishment of a circuit-switched call
during an active GPRS connection may degrade the performance of the established GPRS connection
and, in some cases, may cause failures in an application using the GPRS connection (e.g., a file transfer
might be aborted due to a timeout of the application protocol).
Class C:
The UE is attached to either GPRS or other services. Alternate use only. If both services (GPRS
and Circuit Switched) are supported then a Class C UE can make and/or receive calls only from
the manually or default selected service, i.e., either GPRS or Circuit Switched service. The status
of the service which has not been selected is detached i.e., not reachable. The capability for GPRSattached class-C UEs to receive and transmit SMS messages is optional.
It shall be possible for the UE to receive SMS-CB messages if it attached to GPRS but is not
engaged in packet data transfer.
Class C is not applicable to UTRAN.
3GPP
Release 11

An UE may be reconfigured. E.g., a class A UE configured as 1 slot for circuit switched plus 1 slot for GPRS may be
reconfigured as a class C configured as 0 slots for circuit switched plus 2 slots for GPRS.
Non-voice only UEs do not have to (but may) support emergency calls.
If the UE preferred method, at power up or later, is sending SMS over GPRS and this fails, either due to a direct
failure indication or rejection, or due to the complete lack of a response, then the UE shall switch to sending
subsequent SMS's by circuit switched services for an implementation dependent time. After this time the UE
may again revert to trying to send SMS's over GPRS.
Also, if a different PLMN is selected the UE shall again revert to trying to send SMS's over GPRS.
If the SMS attempt fails on both GPRS and circuit switched services, then the user/toolkit is informed.

The HPLMN Operator/Service Provider may be able to charge the GPRS subscriber for all costs incurred including
those costs incurred in an external network be it a VPLMN or a data network.
The charging requirements of HSDPA shall be identical to the existing packet data services.
destination and source: The charging information shall describe the destination and source addresses;
usage of radio interface: The charging information shall describe the amount of data transmitted in MO and MT
directions categorized with QoS and user protocols;
usage of the external data networks: The charging information shall describe the amount of data sent/received
to/from the external data network;
usage of the packet data protocol addresses: The charging information shall describe how long the UE has used
the packet data protocol addresses;
usage of the general GPRS resources: The charging information shall describe the usage of other GPRS related
resources and UE's activity in the GPRS network (e.g. Attach/Detach, mobility management);
location of UE: HPLMN, VPLMN, plus optional higher accuracy location information.
UE authentication; i.e., the confirmation by the land-based part of the system that the subscriber identity,
transferred by the UE within the identification procedure on the radio path, is the one claimed. The purpose of
this authentication is to protect the network against unauthorized use. It also enables the protection of GPRS
subscribers by denying intruders the ability to impersonate authorized users;
access control; i.e., the network can support restrictions on access by or to different GPRS subscribers, such as
restrictions by location, screening lists, and so on;
user identity confidentiality; i.e., the property that the user identity on the radio link is not made available or
disclosed to unauthorized individuals, entities or processes. The purpose is to provide privacy of identities of the
subscribers who are using GPRS radio resources. It allows for the improvement of other security features, e.g.,
user information confidentiality, and also provides for the protection against tracing the location of a mobile
subscriber by listening to the signalling exchanges on the radio path;
user information confidentiality; i.e., the property that the user information is not made available or disclosed to
unauthorized individuals, entities or processes. The purpose is to provide for confidentiality of user data, i.e.,
protection of the message part pertaining to layers 3 and above, that passes over the radio path.

7.1 Provision
The GPRS services shall be provided to the subscriber after prior arrangement with the service provider. The provision
of each of the following GPRS services independently or any combination thereof shall be possible:
1) Point To Point - Connectionless Network Service (PTP-CLNS);
2) Point To Multipoint (PTM).
It shall be possible to subscribe to GPRS services with or without subscription to other services.
It shall be possible for the network operator to offer GPRS to the Service Provider(s) who may then offer GPRS-based
services to the end-user.
GPRS services can be offered to a subscriber with the subscription option of using a password to control the services. A
single GPRS-password per subscriber is supported by the network for all GPRS services.
As a subscription option modification of the subscribers service profile (e.g., registration) shall be possible only in
conjunction with the GPRS-password.
The following Quality of Service (QoS) parameters shall be assigned to the subscriber profile upon provision of the
GPRS service(s). These parameters may be negotiated or set to default values:
-
reliability,
delay,
3GPP
Release 11

7.2 Withdrawal
The service(s) shall be withdrawn at the subscriber's request or for administrative reasons. Withdrawal shall de-activate
the service.
7.4 Registration
Registration of the service parameters shall enable the subscriber to optimize the actual (dynamic) service profile to the
subscriber's present, actual requirements within the limitations of the (static) subscription profile (see subclause 6.1).
The result of the registration shall be indicated (i.e. accepted/registered or rejected/not registered). The registered
service profile is valid for all GPRS transactions until modified by re-registration or changes to the subscription profile.
As a subscription option registration of the service parameters shall be possible only in conjunction with a GPRSpassword.
It shall be possible for the user to activate connections to non-preconfigured external networks by using non-subscribed
Access Point Names (APN's).
Table 7 defines which service parameters shall be able to be registered for the different GPRS services. The range of
values for the service parameters is specified in subclause 5.6.

necessary) adopted by the subscriber when utilizing a particular destination network. A set of subscription

attributes is required for each destination network. Multiple user-IDs and/or addresses for each destination
network are allowed.
Registration of an identity other than the IMSI (i.e. a user-ID/address in an external data network, e.g. Internet,
etc.) is performed to couple this identity to the IMSI for the purpose of accessing (MO and/or MT) the external
data network. Registration of an identity other than the IMSI is subject to valid subscription agreements with the
network operator. This also provides an effective operator determined barring of access to external data
networks.
Each of the registered interworking profiles can be individually activated and de-activated.
Screening parameters can be assigned to a particular interworking profile as a user protection against unwanted
costs and/or data.
7.5 Void
7.6 Interrogation
The subscriber shall be able to interrogate the status/value of registered service parameters as defined in the current
service profile.
7.7 Activation
The subscriber shall be able to activate each of the registered interworking profiles independently within the limitations
of the subscription profile. As an option the GPRS network may request the activation of a specific interworking profile
for a GPRS attached mobile, when an mobile terminated packet or activation request from external data network with
user-ID (e.g. MSISDN) packet is received even if a mobile is inactive. This option may be available for one or more
PDP. The activation of the inter-working profile(s) may be performed automatically by the UE immediately after GPRS
Attach. When an interworking profile is activated a dynamic binding between the 3GPP identity of the UE and the
external data network user-ID and/or address is made by the system, and the appropriate service parameters are applied
thus establishing a virtual connection between the UE and the GPRS network. Activation of an interworking profile
results in a dynamic binding until de-activation is performed.
7.8 De-activation
The subscriber shall be able to de-activate the previously activated interworking profiles independently within the
limitations of the subscription profile thus releasing the previously established virtual connection. An interworking
profile(s) shall be automatically de-activated if the provision for the supporting GPRS service is withdrawn.
Interworking profiles are deactivated automatically upon GPRS detach..
De-activation of a particular interworking profile shall abort all presently on-going communication between the UE and
the external data network.

8.3 Registration
An attempt to register a service or service parameter not available to that subscriber shall result in an indication to the
user. The reason shall be indicated:
-
the subscribers present (static) subscription profile prohibits the use of this service or service parameter;
the entered parameter value is outside the range of that supported by the PLMN.
If, in the case of interworking with an external data network, an attempt is made to set a parameter to a value outside the
range of that supported by the interworking to the external data network, it shall be indicated to the user and
confirmation required before the parameter value is changed to a value selected by the network.
8.4 Void
8.5 Interrogation

8.6 Activation
An attempt to activate an interworking profile which is already in the active state shall result in an indication to the user,
the interworking profile shall remain in the active state.
