Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of the I_ub link characteristics on the HSDPA air interface performance. In this work three different transport protocols are used to examine the effect of the I_ub link on the HSDPA air interface. The paper uses both analytical and simulation techniques to analyze the relationship between the HSDPA air interface performance and the I_ub link characteristics. The paper uses a Markov chain based analytical model and an OPNET based simulation model to obtain HSDPA air interface performance results.
