Abstract

Universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) is a popular 3G system to support network applications full of variety. According to the quality of service (QoS) features of four types of UMTS traffic, this study proposes a BBQ (byte-based queuing) scheme to handle a UMTS packet forwarding process in differentiation. With the BBQ scheme, four types of UMTS traffic depend on their QoS features to receive differentiated packet forwarding performance within a UMTS core network. Several scenarios are simulated to realize the packet transmission performance of the BBQ scheme. Moreover, a packet transmission performance comparison between the IETF RIO scheme and the BBQ scheme is discussed in this study. The simulation results show that a differentiated packet forwarding behavior among UMTS traffic can be provided by the BBQ scheme with low cost operation/architecture; this demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed queuing scheme.
