This document looks at the complexity of the Gb protocol stack and
shows how the powerful features of the Agilent Technologies
Signaling Advisor can be used to dramatically reduce the time and
effort taken to find problems in this portion of a GPRS network. This
document attempts to fill any gaps in the users knowledge of the Gb
link and highlight some of the features of the Signaling Advisor
emulation software (EmuLite). Real examples will be included and
some common questions will be answered. It is intended for people
using the Signaling Advisor to emulate the BSS or SGSN on a GPRS
Gb link. It is not intended to be an in depth guide to the EmuLite
application or the GPRS protocols but rather a guide on how the
Signaling Advisor can make emulating on this link a simpler task.
The content is aimed at people familiar with the Signaling Advisor
software and its monitoring capabilities.
