Summary: | General packet radio service (GPRS) is a part of the evolution path towards 3G. This paper investigates the effect of using two representative scenarios: a macro cellular system operating from a high altitude platform line of sight system and a terrestrial non-line-of-sight system, in each case a packet-based such as GPRS system is considered. The macro cellular layer will serve as second server to the mobile data terminals located in a microcellular layer, both layers form a Multi-layer cellular system. A comparison between GPRS system using only microcellular structure and when using both microcellular and macro cellular structures is evaluated. A simulator model was developed to study the behavior of data transmission between a GPRS server and data terminals via air interface. Simulation results show the validity of using macro cells to serve as a second layer, and how this can enhance the GPRS system performance. |
