Abstract

The available data about mobile broadband services/applications is put together, and their characterisation parameters are identified, enabling some insight into new approaches for multi-service traffic analysis in MBS. On one hand, a classification of services and applications is proposed based on the 1.211 ITU-T Recommendation. It distinguishes between interactive and distribution services, and also identifies the types of information supporting each one. On the other hand, a taxonomy is proposed for applications´ characterisation parameters, which are divided into five different types: main ones, traffic and communications parameters, service components and operation environments as well. Examples are given for the range of variation of each type of parameters
