PPN is processor port network and EPN is expansion port network
The differences are googleable, be sure to include the key word Lucent (and maybe AT&T) depending on how old your equipment is. They are mainly in role/function different in that the PPN is where the processor goes.
Do you have specific questions about them?

Yes, I have. I need what they meant and their functions - I see they have circuit packs the same as a normal PN. But how do they differ and why do we need them if we have a normal PN.

PPN contains the processor - if it's a PPN it should have processor TN boards and not just circuit packs for phones/trunks. If it's an EPN then it doesn't have a processor in it (unless it's an SRP).
The processor being the 'brain' of the system.
