GPRS Alternatives
proposal three
GPCHs allocated per cell
packets from multiple users are multiplexed on channel
RLP and security mechanisms need to be modified
requires dynamic allocation of GPCH depending on traffic
n packet transport mechanism
proposal one
use existing signaling network along with SMS (Short Message
Services)
Gateway MSC contains IWF2 which queries HLR for routing
information
message size constrained to SMS limit: max. frame length of 272
octets on A interface (between MSC and BSC), overhead of higher
protocol  layers leaves 140 octets, enough for 160 7-bit ASCII
characters
transfer delay must be improved
