Comparing the obtained values with wireline network modems and ISDN yields a
slowdown factor which indicates the subjective degradation that the wireless user
experiences.
Abstract:
In this paper we examine the effects of Internet traffic on the quality of service (QoS) in
GPRS wireless networks. With a stochastic source traffic model describing the user
behavior, we will derive subjective and objective quality of service measures in terms of
WWW downloading time and the transmission bandwidths on TCP and TBF level.
