The goal of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is the delivery of multimedia services to the mobile user. Each different service requires its specific Quality ofService (QoS) to satisfy the mobile user. In this paper, a scheduling concept for the Medium Access Control is presented that satisfies the QoS requirements. To validate the scheduling concept a typical mobile user application mix is examined for performance analysis by simulations. A UMTS Radio Inferface Simulafor (URIS) is used that is based on an emulation of the standardized UMTS protocol stack extended by the Transmission Confml Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP). Simulation results of QoS parameters like delay and throughput depict the performance of mobile applications over UMTS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
