Abstract
We propose a simple model for future data traffic in wireless access networks. It is based on an analysis of the TCP/IP protocols for data communication. Model parameters are selected so as to resemble traffic from WWW access and from distributed file systems. By changing a single parameter, the model can be switched between resembling up or down-link traffic. It is intended for design and performance analysis of radio resource allocation algorithms in future wireless systems.
