The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a GSM-based mobile phone data management system. The number of customers who share similar communication channels and properties is based on the number of customers who experience variable delays and throughputs while using GPRS. In Ref. [19], a programmed crop water system framework based on data collected by temperature and soil moisture sensors mounted at the root zone of plants using a GPRS module and a wireless computer network was built, and this framework could be viewed as a smart and realistic response to rising water quality in precision agriculture [30]. Estimating soil moisture was used to assess the feasibility of a trickle water scheme. The Arduino board was captivated by associated data, resulting in the development of a model system and a WSN-GPRS approach. The WSN-GPRS door connects the WSN and GPRS networks, allowing WSN data to be exchanged with the user. Ref. [2] presents GPRS-enabled remote hubs for measuring and transmitting soil, plant, and environmental data. The remote hubs have unrestricted independence due to their autonomy and use of solar-powered energy. A number of sensors could send data to a remote location through a GPRS network for further analysis on tablets, cellphones, or PCs. All farming devices are attached to the sensor board in order to collect data. Such information is transmitted to a distant employee for further investigation via the GPRS board, which is dependent on a GSM/GPRS transportable entity.

The introduction of Gateway Packet Radio System (GPRS) was a major step in the evolution of GSM to UMTS. GSM Phase 1 and Phase 2 provided only circuit-mode connections. GPRS architecture is shown in Figure 4.2.11 GPRS provides an end-to-end connectionless packet service, and includes a packet-mode transfer over the air and a packet-switched backbone. Subscribers benefit from higher peak data rates and charging based on traffic volume rather than hold time, while operators benefit from the efficient use of spectrum by allowing multiple users to dynamically share resources.
Beyond Second-generation Systems
Published in Goff Hill, The Cable and Telecommunications Professionals' Reference, 2012
The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packet-bearer service that uses packet-mode techniques to transfer both high-speed and low-speed data and signaling. It overlays GSM and is considered as an evolutional phase towards the third-generation Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). It is the most widespread of the 2.5G systems.

GPRS is a packet-oriented mobile data service on 2G and 3G cellular communication systems’ Global System for Mobile (GSM) communications.2 GPRS implies variable data throughput and latency time that depend on the number of other users sharing the service concurrently, as opposed to circuit switching, where a certain Quality of Service (QoS) is guaranteed during the connection. However, lack of tools for detection of a network failure would be major setback for implementing GPRS network in many geographical locations. Thus, before deploying GPRS-based communication system in a specific location, availability and quality of the signal have to be determined (Cuvelier & Sommereyns, 2009).

In constructing an IoT-based system, wireless sensor networks and Generalized Packet Radio Services (GPRS) might be considered. A Wireless sensor network is a wireless network comprised of several IoT devices, each of which is outfitted with sensors for monitoring physical problems [22]. GPRS is a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) based wireless transmission packet system that offers point-to-point Internet Protocol connections across long distances. GPRS is a processing system that permits multiple data transfers, a large signal range, quick deployment, and minimal maintenance expenses.
