GSM
2G+
• HSCSD - High Speed Circuit Switched Data
– Multiple TDMA timeslots allocated for data transmission
– Bandwidth on demand, up to 64kBit/s
– Compatible with existing GSM network infrastructure

• GPRS - General Packet Radio Services

– Radio resources shared by all users on thecell
– Will handle14- >100kBit/s datarates
– Compatiblewith existingGSM network infrastructure

• EDGE -EnhancedDaterates for GSMEvolution

– Newmodulationformat for higher datarates
Suggestions: DBCPM, BOQAM&QOQAM
– Maintains 200kHz channel spacings +GSMTDMA framestructure
– Will coexist withexistingGMSK services
