1. Development of PS service
2. Features of PS service
6. KPIs in PS service
GPRS was first introduced in R97 and was regarded as the extension of
GSM CS system. It is applied to meet the need of accessing to network or
other PS networks.

2. Why PS service has higher requirement for C/I?
PS services utilization efficiency of TRX is much higher than that of
CS service, so it has higher requirement for radio C/I. Advanced
coding mode and fast moving speed require better C/I.

8. What are the common factors influencing test
results?
9. What is flow control? Why there is flow control?
When the flow at Gb interface, which is between SGSN and BSS, is too large,
a control of flow will be performed, which is regarded as flow control. Flow
control is executed (only on down link) by SGSN with the control parameters
provided by BSS.
