Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE)

• EDGE, a new radio interface technology with enhanced modulation increases the HSCSD and GPRS bit rates by up to three folds. EDGE air interface channel coding offers approximately 48 kbit/s per air interface traffic channel. Consequently Enhanced GPRS (EGRPS), as it is referred to, offers theoretically 384 kbit/s bit rate by using all eight air interface time slots.
