• After a certain operating point (SIR level), GPRS transmission rate
saturates. So, EDGE introduces a new modulation scheme (8-PSK) to
drive data rates higher.
– This gives three bits per symbol as compared with one bit per
symbol for GSM
• With this modulation, EDGE supports higher data rates for packet-
switched services with EGPRS.

• 8-PSK added for higher data rates
