Traffic sources measurement and analysis in UMTS

Published: 25 October 2012 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we show statistical analyses of several types of traffic sources in a UMTS network, namely, voice, video, and data sources. For each traffic source type measurements were collected in order to, on the one hand, gain better understanding of the statistical characteristics of the sources and, on the other hand, enable forecasting traffic behavior in the network. The latter can be used to estimate service times and Quality of Service. Based on evaluation of packet inter-arrival times, we propose the Polya distribution to be used in network simulations or in estimations of available capacity in opportunistic sessions. Our results can be applied for dynamic network configuration in order to avoid potential network congestions or overflows.
