The introduction of GPRS, EDGE and UMTS providing high bit rate radio bearer, however, is not the complete response for satisfying the demands of these new high quality services. An advanced quality of service QoS management is necessary to handle the characteristic requirements of both different service types and user expectations. A new QoS strategy is proposed and analyzed comprising 3GPP QoS parameters along with operator's specific weighting factors to define the appropriate QoS priority of each service type and user profile. Admission control as well as a deterministic up-and downgrading strategy are applied to ensure a minimum grade of service for low-priority applications. Furthermore, delay time sensitive services and premium users are granted a full bandwidth. Simulation results are provided to qualify the behavior of the proposed QoS strategy under different packet data load conditions. Especially in highly loaded and even overloaded GERAN networks the introduction of QoS provides significant benefits for the end user and offers powerful means to increase the service revenues according to the charging policy adopted by the network operator. The introduction of an appropriate QoS strategy is the prerequisite for an overlay deployment strategy of GSM/EDGE and UMTS.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.

In such systems the base stations are equipped with antenna arrays and appropriate signal processing capabilities, which enable directional transmission on the downlink as well as directional reception on the uplink. Channels (frequencies/time slots) can then be multiply used within the cell as long as the RRM secures sufficient spatial separability among users sharing a channel. Channel allocation and handover strategies for such systems have been investigated for instance in (C. Hartmann and H.-J Vogel, October 1999) (C. Hartmann, May 2000) (C. Hartmann and J. Eberspacher, September 2001, February 2001). To increase the user data rate in systems like GSM, the high speed circuit switched data (HSCSD) service has been introduced. In HSCSD, several channels can be pooled together for a single user in order to multiply its data rate by means of multi-slot operation. The time slots allocated to a HSCSD user must be allocated on a single GSM carrier. For this purpose we propose new algorithms for HSCSD channel allocation and handover. Specifically the new algorithms consider SDMA operation, i.e. sharing of time slots within the cell. The resulting capacity is investigated by means of multi cell system simulations.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.

In this paper, deterministic processes are utilized to derive a new generative model for the simulation of bursty error sequences encountered in digital mobile fading channels. The proposed deterministic process based generative model (DPBGM) is simply a properly parameterized and sampled deterministic process followed by a threshold detector and two parallel mappers. The target error sequence is generated by a computer simulation of a frequency hopping (FH) convolutionally coded Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) transmission system with Rayleigh fading. Simulation results show that this generative model enables us to match very closely any given gap distribution (GD), error-free run distribution (EFRD), error cluster distribution (ECD), error burst distribution (EBD), error-free burst distribution (EFBD), block error probability distribution (BEPD), and bit error correlation function (BECF) of the underlying descriptive model.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.

The model assumes that every user has a flow demand which is not fixed and which needs to be optimally routed over the network links. The flow and routing policy for each user is derived by simultaneously maximizing the total throughput and minimizing the expected delay for that user. Instead of considering the utility functions which combine the two objectives in a multiplicative fashion, as is typically done in the literature, We consider the utility functions that combine them in a linear additive fashion. We introduce two preference constants into each utility function so that each user can adjust its utility to reflect its own preferences. Because of the fact that the network resources are shared in a competitive manner by all users, this multiuser multi-objective optimization problem is formulated as a non-cooperative game problem among all the users. When the preference constants satisfy a condition, we show that this network game admits a non-symmetric flow and routing control policy that satisfies the Nash equilibrium solution. We discuss the properties of this equilibrium and illustrate the results with an example.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.
