TCP over GPRS: The Effect of Preemption
نویسندگان
چکیده
GPRS extends the widely deployed GSM system with a more efficient wireless Internet access. In this paper we present measurements of GPRS traffic when preempted by circuit-switched calls. The results indicate that TCP performance is degraded more than necessary, as buffered data is flushed immediately when the GPRS traffic is preempted. The time required for error recovery is considerable also for very short preemption periods.

The Impact of Preemptive Priority in GPRS on TCP Performance: A Measurement Study
GPRS extends the widely deployed GSM system with a more efficient wireless Internet access. In this paper we investigate how a TCP transmission over GPRS is affected when it loses all its resources due to preemption by circuit-switched calls with higher priority. The results indicate that TCP performance is degraded more than necessary, as buffered data is flushed immediately when the GPRS traf...
متن کاملTCP performance over GPRS
GPRS is the new packet-oriented data service for GSM. Soon it will be possible to take advantage of the features provided by GPRS for Internet Access like fast connection set-up, volumebased charging and staying on-line for long periods. For non-realtime Internet applications TCP is the applied transport protocol. Often it was suspected that GPRS introduces severe performance degradations for T...
متن کاملImpact of GPRS buffering on TCP performance - Electronics Letters
Introduction: The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packetoriented extension to the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) that supplies higher data rates and sharing of radio resources. The performance of the Internet protocols in GPRS is dependent not only on the quality of the radio link, but also on buffering in the GPRS network. According to [1–3], the over-sized network buff...
متن کاملTraffic Modeling and Performance Evaluation in GSM/GPRS Networks
The sharing of resources between different users and different services is a key concept of radio resources dimensioning in GSM/GPRS networks. In this paper we present dimensioning rules based on traffic evaluation and quality of service level for GSM/GPRS users, focused on two radio resources allocation strategies: CP (Complete Partitioning) and PP( Partial Partitioning).The quality of service...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Data Subsystem in GSM/GPRS Using Complete Sharing of Bandwidth
In this paper we evaluate the performance of data users in a GSM/GPRS system using queuing analysis and the QDB approach. GPRS has been introduced in GSM as a proposed data packet service over the air interface. Currently GPRS uses a fixed number of time slots, which are not shared with GSM voice users. Therefore the QoS of GSM users that are circuit switched is decreased. Here we propose a com...
