Performance Evaluation of Web Traffic Transmission in Centralized Wireless Networks

Abstract

In this article, we consider the problem of assessing the cross-layer performance of wireless centralized communication networks (e.g., 5G and LTE). We consistently introduce a user web browsing model and find the relationship between the numerical characteristics of a wireless network and the network's perceived quality when users browse the pages. An optimization problem was formulated based on the results obtained. Solution of optimization problem determines the lower bound of the average waiting time for loading additional page objects for given page view probabilities and the average waiting time for the main page object loading using various scheduling algorithms at the data link layer.
