Performance evaluation of GSM and GPRS systems based on measurement campaigns

Abstract

A comprehensive study of the performance of GSM and GPRS is presented. The behavior of the network is classified into traffic load scenarios and key indicators are presented. Network response and logical channel occupation are discussed and the GPRS segment is evaluated according to a measurement campaign. Focus is given. on traffic overload and network congestion. This in-depth study can be used as a basis to evaluate the efficiency of resource management techniques in cellular systems.
