Abstract :
General packet radio service (GPRS) is bearer service of Global System for Mobile (GSM) that has been deployed worldwide and is widely considered a technology precursor to the evolving third generation (3G) wireless network. In order to improve the GPRS traffic performance, the study on the factors contributed to the low performance of GPRS is carried out. This paper applied the data analyzing method of the real practice of GPRS services in Celcom (M) Berhad which covers the Northern Region. One of the factors contributed to low performance in GPRS traffic is the throughput performance. The parameter that interested to be focused in this paper is throughput performance whereby it including both uplink and downlink throughput.
