Abstract With the introduction of different multimedia services for the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), performance of the TCP/IP protocol becomes a crucial issue. Using IPv4 for this purpose appears to be a good approach due to its fairly well-known behaviour. On the other hand, specific demands of the upcoming applications are not sufficiently covered with this protocol. Typical problems arise from multicast transmissions or when QoS support is required. With the introduction of the new IPv6, many of these drawbacks have been solved, while performance of IPv6 in conjunction with the 3GPP protocols is mostly unknown. Based on the accurate implementation of IPv4 and IPv6 in our UMTS protocol simulator, comparative studies between those protocols were carried out. While performance is obviously affected by the channel quality, several simulations have been made in this context. Furthermore, the effect of using selected compression algorithms in the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) has been investigated.
