Abstract

Data applications are expected to play an increasingly important role in the next generation mobile communication services. To plan these networks, detailed models of data users with diverse applications are required. The purpose of this study is to provide practically usable traffic models for data users in wireless networks, e.g. GPRS. We start with a discussion of well-known models in the literature, where the focus is on their applicability in mobile networks. A practical model of mobile HTTP users, based on an extrapolation of WWW users in current wire-line networks, is presented; this model is expected to be accurate enough to be used in simulation studies for network planning purposes. Finally, models for other emerging data applications are also taken into account.
