Performance Analysis of GPRS/GSM From the Single User Point of View

traffic

Overview This paper reports some background work made for understanding how a GPRS access network might affect the behavior of a typical IP-user. More precisely, some sort of limits of this new mobile data service have been examined. The aim of the paper is twofold: First, how will the users find themselves using the new dimensions offered by GPRS, wireless Internet connections with partial freedom from electrical networks. Second, how will the technical limits of GPRS and the randomness of capacity show up in the behavior of data traffic. Hence the attempt is to combine both the user point of view and a traffic theory point of view.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
