Duration of the attach procedure
- In order to evaluate the influence of MAP signalization on network performance, we measured the processing time of the attach procedure.
- The processing time is measured at the MS from the moment when an Attach Request is sent until an Attach Accept or Attach Reject is received.
- The original GPRS model employed a very simple database query for communication with an internal HLR.
- Because of intensive message exchange between MAP entities, we expected a significant increase in the processing time of the Attach Request .
