The impact of QoS differentiation on service quality and system capacity in cellular networks

Mobile network operators are currently preparing the introduction of QoS differentiation mechanisms in their 3G networks, as a means to support service-specific quality requirements, to enable the offering of distinct subscription forms and/or to enhance the resource efficiency and hence network capacity. In this paper we quantify the attainable...

Performance/capacity gains from QoS differentiation in HSDPA networks: An operator perspective

Mobile network operators are currently preparing the introduction of QoS differentiation mechanisms in their 3G networks, as a means to support service-specific quality requirements, to enable the offering of distinct subscription forms and/or to enhance the resource efficiency and hence network capacity. In this paper we quantify the attainable...
