Performance of the GPRS RLC/MAC protocols with VoIP traffic
نویسندگان
چکیده
GSM/GPRS networks have been designed to carry both voice and data traffic. Our aims are to study the behaviour of the GPRS mechanisms (RLC/MAC layer and radio resource scheduler) when the application layer carries packetized voice, and determine if the quality of service provided by the network is suitable for the VoIP service. The paper includes a discussion about the voice source model, an analysis of the effects in capacity of a GPRS carrier when feed with VoIP packets, measurements of statistical parameters of the voice traffic stream and a discussion of the influence in the quality of the service.

Performance Simulation for the General Packet Radio Service, GPRS
Within the next year the first GPRS wireless packet data networks will be operable in Europe. In this paper, we study the capacity of the GPRS air interface under various conditions. For the analysis of the underlying Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol and the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer a simulative approach using OPNET is applied. Performance results for the RLC/MAC protocol are given fo...
متن کاملOne Directional Real-Time Traffic Flows over the GPRS Air Interface
Packet-switched non real-time data transmissions have increased a lot in the fixed network. Circuit-switched based cellular transmission techno logy Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) is already in the service for more than a decade. A packet based transmission system called General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) is developed for non real-time packet data transmission system by the evo...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of retransmission mechanisms in GPRS networks
This paper studies the performance of the three retransmission mechanisms (i.e., RLC/MAC, LLC and TCP) in a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network accessing the Internet. This assessment is done through the end-to-end performance evaluation of Internet applications such as HTTP and FTP over GPRS. A simulation platform including client Mobile Stations, Base Station Subsystems, GPRS Support ...
متن کاملGeneral Packet Radio Service OPNET Model
In this paper, we describe a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) OPNET simulation model and the implementation of the Radio Link Control/Medium Access Control (RLC/MAC) and the Base Station Subsystem GPRS protocol (BSSGP). The RLC/MAC and BSSGP protocols are added to an existing GPRS OPNET model. We have enhanced the existing model by implementing unacknowledged mode of RLC and two phase access...
متن کاملCapacity Evaluation of Resource Allocation Strategies in the GPRS System
A fundamental issue in GSM/GPRS networks planning is the choice of an appropriate resource allocation strategy at MAC layer to allow data and voice users to share the common transport media. Our goal is to quantitatively evaluate the convenience, in terms of efficient radio resources utilization, of reserving a few timeslots in each TDMA frame to GPRS traffic rather than adopting a “complete-sh...
