Abstract
The goal of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is the delivery of multimedia services to the mobile user. Each different service requires its specific Quality of Service (QoS) to satisfy the mobile user. The QoS requirements will be supported by several protocol layers. In this paper, the interaction between Radio Resource Management (RRM), Medium Access Control (MAC) scheduling and Transport Format (TF) selection is presented. To study the interaction and dependencies, a typical mobile user application mix is examined for performance analysis by simulations. A UMTS Radio Interface Simulator (URIS) is used based on an emulation of the standardized UMTS protocol stack extended by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP). Simulation results of QoS parameters like delay and throughput depict the performance of mobile applications over UMTS.
