Which scheme allows mobile stations to send and receive IP packet in a cell running voice system.

  1. GPRS

  2. AMPS

  3. D_AMPS

  4. GSM

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

GPRS scheme allows mobile stations to send and receive IP packet in a cell running voice system.

General packet radio service (GPRS) is a packet-based wireless data communication service designed to replace the current circuit-switched services available on the second-generation global system for mobile communications (GSM) and time division multiple access (TDMA) IS-136 networks.

Another 2.5G scheme is GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), which is an overlay packet network on top of D-AMPS or GSM. It allows mobile stations to send and receive IP packets in a cell running a voice system. When GPRS is in operation, some time slots on some frequencies are reserved for packet traffic.

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packet oriented mobile data standard on the 2G and 3G cellular communication network's global system for mobile communications (GSM).

GPRS has been called the 2.5 G system. This is because it was developed after the 2G cellular networks and before the 3G systems that are currently showing up on the market today. GPRS is still widely used across the globe today. General Packet Radio Service works by allowing data to be stored into 'packets'.
