Abstract
Public wide-area wireless networks are now migrating towards 3G systems. In Europe, the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) developed by 3GPP has been widely adopted as an evolution of the GSM system. One of the most appealing features in 3G and Beyond 3G systems is the introduction of many new multimedia services, which often demand performance guarantees. However, there lacks general performance analysis tools that enable service providers to conveniently obtain performance measurements. This paper develops a general performance metrics framework for streaming services and proposes a modelling method that can effectively map such metrics for real measurement usages. The framework and modelling method presented in this paper have been accepted as part of the 3GPP standards for performance evaluation.
