Measured Performance of GSM HSCSD and GPRS

Overview This paper present results of measurements on the performance of GSM HSCSD and GPRS data transmission. The results show that in stationary connections the throughput and response time were stable and, in general, close to the theoretical values. However, the throughput and response time varied a lot when connections were used in motion. One of the reasons is that TCP was not capable to adapt itself properly to the variability of QoS of HSCSD and GPRS, and therefore, it did a lot of unnecessary retransmissions causing performance slowdown.
