Abstract

After 3G mobile and wireless systems take-up, the research community is now directing its interest towards unified ways of looking at system design, optimization, and quality of service (QoS) issues to satisfy the requirements of next generation multi-service mobile and wireless IP-based networks. Their implementation requires the development of IP QoS architecture and mechanisms encompassing the various layer of the OSI Model to cope with the new requirements. This work identifies the requirements on latency (link radio), latency (end-to-end), bit error rate, data rates, and traffic characterisation for mobile multimedia network beyond 3G. Characterisation parameters were identified and values were suggested for their range of variation, in the context of cross-layer design.
