Abstract The mobile telecommunication community is migrating towards a new network architecture. While second-generation (2G) mobile core networks were originally circuit-switched, they will be based on the Internet Protocol (IP) with the introduction of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) into GSM networks. The Internet Protocol (IP) is not sufficient to serve traffic with specific latency, variance, packet loss, and throughput requirements. As a result, proposals are being made to improve the best-effort services of IP. Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is one such proposal, which is at present seen as the future technology for mobile core networks and other Internet networks when the focus is set on the scalability of network resources. This paper examines the feasibility of quality of service provisioning in mobile radio networks with the support of DiffServ in the core network compared to present IP technology realizing a pure best-effort service. As the radio interface GPRS is regarded as the first mobile packet technology based on IP infrastructure.
