description The Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) are integral elements within the GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and later Evolved Packet Core (EPC) architectures, forming the backbone of mobile data networks. SGSN: It is responsible for managing the mobility and session control for users within a specific geographical area, tracking their location and facilitating the seamless handover of data sessions between different base stations. GGSN: It acts as the interface between the GPRS network and external packet data networks, such as the Internet. It performs tasks like IP address allocation and packet routing, allowing mobile devices to establish connections with external data networks. Together, the SGSN and GGSN enable the efficient and secure transfer of packet-switched data, supporting services like internet browsing, email, and multimedia messaging for mobile users. With the evolution of mobile networks toward 4G LTE and 5G, some of these functionalities are integrated into evolved nodes like the Mobility Management Entity (MME) and the Serving Gateway (SGW) in the Evolved Packet Core architecture. The Scheme GCS, Group C for SGSN or GGSN, is crucial in mobile communication networks, particularly in General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Evolved Packet Core (EPC) architectures. This scheme establishes standardized specifications for the design, functionality, and interoperability of SGSN and GGSN, which are integral components in mobile packet-switched networks. Compliance with Group C ensures that these nodes consistently meet performance benchmarks, covering factors such as packet routing, signalling protocols, and compatibility with various generations of mobile networks. Adherence to this scheme contributes to the creation of a standardized and interoperable ecosystem for SGSN and GGSN, fostering efficient communication between mobile devices and network infrastructure. The GCS Scheme, Group C, improves the reliability, scalability, and performance of these nodes in the dynamic and evolving landscape of mobile communications. Note: Manufacturers of SGSN or GGSN are required to obtain the mandatory TEC Certification to sell their products in the Indian market.
