Analytical Model for Performance Evaluation of GPRS/EDGE Multi-Service Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 a finite number of users generating infinite ON/OFF sessions and fair bandwidth sharing among active users. Exact and simple approximate performance formulas are derived from the model.

Analytical Performance Evaluation of Mobile Internet Access via GPRS Networks
This paper deals with analytical concepts for performance evaluation of packet switching mobile radio networks. A realistic characterisation of source traffic with means of marked Markovian arrival processes (MMAP) serves as an input process for a queuing model. The analysis of this model permits to derive the quantities of interest and allows to determine the achievable quality of service, whi...
متن کاملAnalytical performance evaluation of Internet access over GPRS and its comparison with simulation results
In this paper, we discuss the results of recently published analytical concepts for performance evaluation of packetswitched mobile radio networks. For comparison we regard the results of a simulation system (GPRSim), which emulates the GSM General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) in great detail. Our scope is to identify the possible reasons for deviations between analytical and simulation results ...
متن کاملDiscrete-Time Markov Model for EDGE/GPRS Radio Engineering with Finite-length Sessions
GPRS is now deployed and commercially open in a vast number of networks worldwide. The forthcoming generalization of multimedia mobiles with advanced capabilities, along with continuing efforts to optimize the end-to-end performance, are expected to trigger an exponential soaring of traffic. EDGE or UMTS are the possible network evolutions to handle it. A number of important technical challenge...
متن کاملModeling and Performance Evaluation of GPRS
This paper provides an accurate model of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). GPRS is modeled as a single server queue in a Markovian environment. The queueing performance of data packets is evaluated by matrix geometric methods. The arrival process is assumed to follow a two state Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP), and the service rate fluctuates based on voice loading. The analytica...
متن کاملGprs/edge Services Performance Measurements in the State of Kuwait
GPRS and EDGE are narrowband wireless data services that are deployed by GSM operators to provide higher data rate. This paper provides a set of measurements that are used to evaluate, from user perspective, GPRS and EDGE services in the State of Kuwait. The Measurements are taken in the Alsalam suburb which has no PSTN network. Measurements show that the GPRS performance is worst than the anal...
