Performance Parameters in GPRS Based Traffic with Data and Voice Integrated Transmission

Abstract

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a new bearer service for Global System for Mobile (GSM) that greatly improves and simplifies wireless access to Packet Data Networks (PDN). We have presented an analytical model to analyze the performance of different sharing strategies in the circuit switched voice and packet switched data networks. We have compared the blocking probability, throughput and average delay time for these strategies. In the fixed sharing strategy, these traffic parameters show better performance for lower traffic. However, for higher traffic the partial sharing strategy turns out to be the best solution. The Partial sharing scheme also shows better performance than the complete sharing scheme in case of higher traffic.
