In this paper, the performance of three fair resource allocation strategies for packet data transmission in EDGE/GPRS networks are mathematically analyzed. The strategies aim at achieving, respectively, fair access, fair transmission rate and, simultaneous fair access and transmission rate. The differences in terms of QoS and GoS caused by link adaptation (LA) and multi-slot allocation experienced by data users in EGPRS networks is smoothed by these strategies through the use of multiple resource reservation and/or dynamic resource allocation strategies, which, at the same time, compensate users with poor radio channel conditions. Also, the performance of the proposed strategies is evaluated by means of teletraffic analysis tools in terms of packet blocking probabilities and throughput
