چکیده

It is known that multicast is an efficient method of supporting group communication as it allows the transmission of the packets to multiple destinations using fewer network resources. Along with the widespread deployment of the third generation cellular networks and the fast-improving capabilities of the mobile devices, content and service providers are increasingly interested in supporting multicast communications over wireless networks and in particular over Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). In this paper, a multicast scheme for UMTS is analyzed. We analytically present the multicast routing mechanism behind our scheme as well as the multicast group management functionality of the scheme. Furthermore, we present an evaluation of our scheme in terms of its performance. The critical parameters for the evaluation of the scheme are the number of users within the multicast group, the amount of data sent to the multicast users, the density of the multicast users within the cells and finally the type of transport channel used for the transmission of the multicast data over the air.

Characterizing the Downlink Transmission Power for WCDMA Networks in Multiservice Environments

This paper characterizes the downlink transmission power for WCDMA networks in multiservice environments for both urban and suburban macro cells. To calculate the required transmission power for the user in the cell, various modeling approaches are used to investigate the orthogonality, the path loss, and the inter-cell interference ratio of the user. The variation and scattering pattern of the...

Dynamic bandwidth allocation with fair scheduling for WCDMA systems

Dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) will play an important role in future broadband wireless networks, including the 3G and 4G WCDMA systems. A code-division generalized processor sharing (CDGPS) fair scheduling DBA scheme is proposed for WCDMA systems. The scheme exploits the capability of the WCDMA physical layer, reduces the computational complexity in the link layer, and allows channel rates...

Improving Throughput and Fairness on the Downlink Shared Channel in UMTS WCDMA Networks

A resource scheduling scheme is presented to improve throughput and fairness for NRT packet data traffic on the downlink shared channel of a UMTS WCDMA network supporting multiple services. The proposed Fair Resource Scheduling (FRS) scheme takes into account link conditions to enhance throughput and provides fair resource sharing among traffic flows. FRS includes service priority handling duri...

Model of the WCDMA interface servicing PCT1 and PCT2 multirate traffic with priorities

The paper presents a new analytical method for blocking probability determination in the WCDMA interface of the UMTS network with priorities. In our considerations we use a new model of the full-availability group servicing PCT1 and PCT2 multi-rate traffic with priorities. The proposed scheme is applicable for cost-effective WCDMA resource management in 3G mobile networks and can be easily appl...
