description: The full-color training visuals presented in leading expert Gunnar Heine’s course on GPRS signaling and protocol analysis are now available in these two unique volumes. A must-have for experienced engineers and technicians who need to optimize GPRS network performance, Volume 1 looks at GPRS from the perspective of the mobile station and within the Radio Access Network (RAN). Volume 2 focuses on the aspects of GPRS within the core network and from the application perspective. Using a minimum of text, these new volumes clearly explain the meaning of various new parameters, counters and timers in GPRS protocols, and cover new messages that have been defined for this technology. You learn how to evaluate trace files on the various new interfaces and on the Abis-Interface, and how to decode hexadecimal GPRS mobility and session management messages on the Abis-Interface. You discover how the GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) works, how GTP and GTP’ differ, how to provide IP-addresses to authorized GPRS subscribers, and much more.
