As 3G networks are very widely deployed, there exists increased capacity requirement and transport channel allocation to simultaneous users under a particular cell. Due to this reason, adequate resources are not available, which in turn degrades both service quality and user experienced quality. This research aims at understanding the characteristics of buffer filling during dedicated channel (DCH) transmission under fixed bit-rate assumptions on a per-user level taking different services into consideration. Furthermore, the resource utilisation in terms of empty buffer durations and user throughput achieved during dedicated channel transmission are also analysed for different data services existing in the mobile networks.

  • Data Networks
    Second Ed ition Data Networks DIMITRI BERTSEKAS Massachusetts Institute of Technology ROBERT GALLAGER Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology PRENTICE HALL, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey 07632 2 Node A Node B Time at B --------- Packet 0 Point-to-Point Protocols and Links 2.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter first provides an introduction to the physical communication links that constitute the building blocks of data networks. The major focus of the chapter is then data link control (i.e., the point-to-point protocols needed to control the passage of data over a communication link). Finally, a number of point-to-point protocols at the network, transport, and physical layers are discussed. There are many similarities between the point-to-point protocols at these different layers, and it is desirable to discuss them together before addressing the more complex network-wide protocols for routing, flow control, and multiaccess control. The treatment of physical links in Section 2.2 is a brief introduction to a very large topic. The reason for the brevity is not that the subject lacks importance or inherent interest, but rather, that a thorough understanding requires a background in linear system theory, random processes, and modem communication theory. In this section we pro­ vide a sufficient overview for those lacking this background and provide a review and perspective for those with more background. 37 38 Point-to-Point Protocols and Links Chap. 2 In dealing with the physical layer in Section 2.2, we discuss both the actual com­ munication channels used by the network and whatever interface modules are required at the ends of the channels to transmit and receive digital data (see Fig 2.1).

  • A Novel View on Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) in the Wireless and Mobile Communication Environment
    Georgian Electronic Scientific Journal: Computer Science and Telecommunications 2010|No.1(24) A Novel View on Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) in the Wireless and Mobile Communication Environment Dr.S.S.Riaz Ahamed Principal, Sathak Institute of Technology, Ramanathapuram,TamilNadu, India-623501. Email:[email protected] Abstract The Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) is a third generation (3G) mobile communications system that provides a range of broadband services to the world of wireless and mobile communications. The UMTS delivers low-cost, mobile communications at data rates of up to 2 Mbps. It preserves the global roaming capability of second generation GSM/GPRS networks and provides new enhanced capabilities. The UMTS is designed to deliver pictures, graphics, video communications, and other multimedia information, as well as voice and data, to mobile wireless subscribers. UMTS also addresses the growing demand of mobile and Internet applications for new capacity in the overcrowded mobile communications sky. The new network increases transmission speed to 2 Mbps per mobile user and establishes a global roaming standard. UMTS allows many more applications to be introduced to a worldwide base of users and provides a vital link between today’s multiple GSM systems and the ultimate single worldwide standard for all mobile telecommunications, International Mobile Telecommunications–2000 (IMT–2000).

In this paper, we present a detailed survey of various resource allocation schemes that have been considered for the cellular network’s operation in the unlicensed spectrum. The key channel access mechanisms for cellular network’s operation in the unlicensed bands are discussed. The various channel selection techniques are explored and their operation explained. The prime issue of fairness between cellular and Wi-Fi networks is discussed, along with suitable resource allocation techniques that help in achieving this fairness. We analyze the coverage, capacity, and impact of coordination in LTE-U systems. Furthermore, we study and discuss the impact and discussed the impact of various traffic type, environments, latency, handover, and scenarios on LTE-U’s performance. The new upcoming 5G New Radio and MulteFire is briefly described along with some of the critical aspects of LTE-U which require further research.
