Abstract

In this paper, an end-to-end quality of service (QoS) framework for streaming services in 3G mobile networks is considered. A solution based on a public land mobile network (PLMN) hosted multimedia streaming service is studied to avoid accessing through an external IP packet data network (IP-PDN) to streaming services. Under this scenario, the interaction between UMTS and IETF protocols and mechanisms for a streaming session is analyzed. As a part of the proposed framework, a radio resource management (RRM) scheme for the support of streaming services over GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) based third generation (3G) mobile networks is presented. Simulation results on the performance of this RRM scheme show the efficiency for the transmission of streaming services over EGPRS networks.
