In a general packet radio system (GPRS) network, the domain name server (DNS) system is independent from the DNS system on the Internet. Figure 1 Structure of the DNS system in a GPRS network http://localhost:7904/pages/31185199/02/31185199/02/resources/figure/ch/SGSN/fig_60_126.png As shown in Figure 1, the DNS system consists of the following levels: -
MCCXXX.GPRS. This domain name level uses mobile country code (MCC) to differentiate the GPRS networks of different countries. -
MNC This domain name level uses mobile network code (MNC) to differentiate the GPRS networks of one country. -
General APN It defines the general access point name (APN) across the entire network, such as CMWAP. -
Regional APN It differentiates the APNs of different regions, such as LN and NM. This APN level defines the APNs used in this region, such as Police and Government. If necessary, you can fractionalize this APN level. -
LAC LAC is used to differentiate LAs. The domain names under LAC are: - RAC: differentiates RAs
- RNC ID: differentiates RNCs
The preceding two domain names are end nodes. |
