Abstract :
The growth of both the Internet and mobile systems provides the way for wireless access to the Internet. We characterize two currently available radio access links, the general packet radio service (GPRS) and the IEEE 802.11b standards, from the IP level point of view. We analyze the impact of IP parameters on its performance and obtain conclusions on the expectable behavior for higher layers.
