Implementation of a Real-time UMTS Testbed in a PC Network

چکیده
This paper describes the implementation of a real-time UMTS demonstrator developed within the framework of the IST ARROWS (Advanced Radio Resource Management On Wireless Services) project. Among the main goals of the ARROWS demonstrator are the evaluation of radio resource management strategies in a UMTS network and the analysis of the impact that these strategies have on the end-to-end behaviour of multimedia applications with Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The demonstrator platform is built over a network of personal computers and copes with the real-time restrictions imposed by the emulation of UMTS transport capabilities. The work presented in this paper is mainly aimed to describe the software/hardware design approach considered to build the real-time emulation platform rather than providing a detailed description of the functionalities and emulation approaches carried out for each of the elements included in the testbed.

متن کاملMarkovian Delay Prediction-Based Control of Networked Systems
A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of the Performance of Vertical Handover Algorithms between WiFi and UMTS Networks
In this paper, we analyze the performance of vertical handover (VHO) algorithms for seamless mobility between WiFi and UMTS networks. We focus on a no-coupling scenario, characterized by the lack of any form of cooperation between the involved players (users and network operators). In this context, we first propose a low-complexity Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)based algorithm, and t...
متن کاملIP-based transport of voice traffic in the UMTS radio access network: analytical study and empirical validation Transport basé sur IP du trafic voix dans le réseau d’accès radio UMTS: étude analytique et validation empirique
In this paper, we investigate the IP protocol as a transport option for the user traffic in the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN), where stringent delay bounds are to be met for both real-time and non real-time traffic. We focus on real-time voice traffic and present an analytical model for the multiplexing and transport of voice channels in the UTRAN using IP. The novelty of our mo...
متن کاملComparative study of computer simulation softwares
One of the methods for analyzing systems is simulation. Network simulation is a technique that models the behavior of the network by performing transaction calculations between different network entities and using mathematical formulas and taking observations from network products. A network simulator is a piece of software or hardware that predicts the behavior of a computer network without a ...
