Abstract
In this paper radio network dimensioning for the evolution of GSM/EDGE networks towards 3rd Generation (3G) mobile radio networks is presented. Taking simulation results for GPRS/EGPRS introduction and evolution scenarios as the basis, the radio resources needed for a given offered traffic and for given Quality of Service (QoS) requirements can be estimated. Both circuit-switched voice traffic and packet-switched Internet traffic are considered sharing the radio resources available in a GSM radio cell. To achieve this, the simulation tool GPRSim is used that comprises a prototypical implementation of the standardized GPRS protocols and stochastic load generators for typical GPRS usage.
