Abstract
In this paper the radio network capacity needed for the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) in coexistence with conventional circuit-switched voice services and the admissible quality of service for mobile Internet users is presented. Since the GPRS is to be integrated into the GSM infrastructure, a number of physical channels have to be made available to GPRS used as fixed and on-demand Packet Data Channels (PDCHs). A simulation environment for a GPRS network and its traffic sources based on Internet traffic models and on a Poisson process for the coexisting circuit-switched applications are introduced. Simulation results comprise performance measures for the quality of service from the user's point of view, the system throughput per cell and the channel utilization for a range of load situations in order to fix the needed radio capacity regarding cell configurations with 1 to 5 transceivers (TRX) and up to 8 on-demand PDCHs
