Abstract
In this paper the potential of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) concerning Video Streaming is presented. Taking real video sequences as the basis for a Video Streaming load generator, the simulation tool GPRSim that comprises a prototypical implementation of the standardized GPRS/EDGE protocols has been extended. Results have been gained by simulating actual as well as future scenarios. Both fixed and on-demand Packet Data Channel (PDCH) allocation techniques have been considered to carry the generated traffic which contains Video Streaming as part of a traffic mix additionally comprising e-mail and World Wide Web (WWW) traffic. The following analysis of the traffic performance measurements shows the limited capacities of GPRS networks to carry real-time data. But the simulation results also indicate that EGPRS as the enhanced system is, on a limited scale, able to be bearer for real-time traffic.
