Internet Access over HSDPA
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is being introduced by mobile operators as a solution both for increasing the downlink throughput and for achieving a more efficient usage of the radio resources. This work analyses the quality of experience of HSDPA users, based on experiments and measurements over a commercial network. The effect of multiple users sharing the overall capacity of the cell is explicitly evaluated. The results show that the HSDPA user experience for Internet access is satisfactory and in some cases comparable to that achievable over fixed access technologies such as ADSL. In addition, we explore the impact of TCP configuration on the HSDPA performance and suggest suitable parameter values.

Downlink TCP Proxy Solutions for Interactive Gaming over HSDPA and 3G Networks
High Speed Packet Data Access (HSDPA) is a recent development of third generation (3G) wireless systems to enable several applications to be available through wireless communication. In order to increase performance (reliable and timely data delivery), HSDPA supports new features related to the control of the radio resources, and scheduling of the users. However, even though HSDPA evolution off...
متن کاملMeasuring HSDPA performance
HSDPA is making impressive inroads in the commercial service arena. On September 22, 2006, the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) reported that 121 HSDPA networks had been planned, were being deployed, or had been launched. Moreover, 59 of these already offered commercial HSDPA services. Likewise, 58 HSDPA devices had been launched as of September 18, 2006. Numerous operators thus do alr...
متن کاملCapacity of VoIP over HSDPA with Frame Bundling
In this paper, we evaluate the capacity of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) services over high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), in which frame-bundling (FB) is incorporated to reduce the effect of relatively large headers in the IP/UDP/RTP layers. Also, a modified proportional pair (PF) packet scheduler design supporting for VoIP service is provided. The main focus of this work is the e...
متن کاملDual Cell-high Speed Downlink Packet Access System Benefits and User Experience Gains
Dual Cell-High Speed Downlink Packet Access (DC-HSDPA), which was introduced in Release 8 of the WCDMA specifications, enables the User Equipment (UE) to receive downlink data on two adjacent carriers simultaneously. The doubling of physical layer rate of DCHSDPA UEs translates to user experience gain for real applications such as web browsing and video streaming in unloaded systems. In this pa...
