Abstract

This paper presents a performance analysis of WWW browsing services in a mixed voice and WWW traffic environment and proposes a mechanism that guarantees minimum throughput for active browsing sessions. Outage probability and expected throughputs are derived. Simulation results on the WWW browsing download time performance are also presented. Illustrative results indicate that the proposed guaranteed throughput (GT) power allocation scheme significantly improves the WWW browsing page download performance and satisfied-user probability
