The mobile station MS is in the radio darkness (ignorant) at this stage about the radio coverage that surrounds it in the geographical area in which it has been switched ON. Once switched on, the mobile device will seek to establish, using the embedded routines in its radio program that will enable it

To assist the aims and objectives GSM is commonly known to use 'Handover' for which there is a specific GSM standard TS03.09 [cf W-CDMA see 3GPP TS23.009].The assumption being made for these cause

Given that GPRS is expected to form a basic data service across GSM/WCDMA/LTE it is always worth starting at the beginning with GSM/GPRS as GPRS has numerous influences on GSM that have evolved for today's mobile networks.As the old adage goes "time and tide wait for no man"
