Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution - GSM EDGE

Enhanced data for GSM evolution is a medium speed packet data communication system that is integrated with global system for mobile (GSM) radio system. The EDGE system modifies the GSM radio channel by adding new phase modulation and channel coding processes. EDGE uses several 8 level phase shift keying (8PSK) to increase the radio channel data transmission rate to 604.8 kbps (474 kbps user rate).

This diagram shows how a standard GSM radio channel is modified to use a new, more efficient modulation technology to create an a high-speed packet data EDGE system. The EDGE system users either 8 level quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation or the standard GMSK modulation (used by 2nd generation GSM systems.) This allows EDGE technology to be merged on to existing GSM systems as standard GSM mobile telephones will ignore the EDGE modulated time slots that they cannot demodulate and decode.
