Abstract

This paper presents the design patterns and architecture of a testbed for the evaluation of quality of service (QoS) provisioning in WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) based third generation wireless networks. The testbed allows for the evaluation of QoS adaptation techniques that supercedes to the traditional power control in the radio resource manager (RRM). It handles classes of service defined for the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), as well as mobility and handoffs.
