Impact of data traffic composition on GPRS performance

چکیده
The topic of this paper is the evaluation of the impact of data traffic composition on GPRS performance. A detailed statistical analysis of GPRS traffic per service at different levels has been carried on live measurements. A multi-service performance model is presented in order to derive simple and closed form formulas, associating capacity, traffic characteristics and performance. This performance model allows the analysis of the impact of a mix of the applications (WAP, Web, e-mail, etc...) on the quality of service QoS offered to GPRS users. It also gives the opportunity to evaluate the impact of the introduction of new services on the QoS offered to already existing services.

Performance Analysis of Downward Handoff Latency in a WLAN/GPRS Interworking System
This study presents the performance analysis of a new tight coupling based WLAN/GPRS interworking architecture. The effects of network traffic on downward handoff latency are investigated. The results indicate that increasing WLAN traffic increases the overall downward handoff latency more than increasing GPRS traffic. On the other hand, increasing GPRS traffic results in higher packet bufferin...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملComposition of GPRS/UMTS traffic: snapshots from a live network
This paper focuses on the traffic composition in a real GPRS/UMTS network. We present results from two datasets covering two one-week measurement periods, in December 2004 and November 2005. We show how users and traffic split between access technologies (GPRS and UMTS) and services, and present an analysis of the per-user activity at the PDP-context level. The results reported here provide an ...
متن کاملAnalytical Model for Performance Evaluation of GPRS/EDGE Multi-Service Networks
GPRS/EDGE networks are designed to transmit packet data. Several types of traffic with varying characteristics have to be supported by these networks. This paper proposes an analytical performance model for GPRS/EDGE networks in order to derive a simple relationship between cell capacity, traffic characteristics and performance. The model presented is based on the Modified Engset Model assuming...
متن کاملThe Impact of User Mobility on Data Service Performance in GPRS Systems
In this paper we describe an analytical approach to derive the average packet delay and packet loss probability in a cell of a wireless network operating based on the GSM/GPRS standard. This analytical approach is based on the decomposition of system behavior to short-term and long-term behavior to simplify the analytical modeling. In addition to voice call handoffs, the impact of handoff and g...
