Abstract :
The future generations of wireless networks are being designed to provide various types of packet data services. Radio resource control (RRC) protocols should be designed to configure the radio bearer so that the radio system capacity is maximized, the mobile terminal´s battery drain is minimized and users´ traffic requirements are met. It is inevitable that the RRC protocol will affect the performance of the network transport protocols and, in return, the network transport protocols will limit the radio systems ability to schedule resources efficiently. In this paper we describe a genetic model of RRC protocol states, which represents various air interfaces. Using this model, we investigate how the parameters of RRC protocol states affect the radio system control overhead and performance of Web browsing applications
