Abstract

We present a complete concept for providing a resource efficient bearer service for streaming applications in the GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network, GERAN. The concept comprises rules for admission control, service quality monitoring functions and appropriate means to ensure that the service quality stays within the envisaged bounds. Results indicate that the achievable capacity is close to what could be expected from streaming over a best effort bearer, while at the same time QoS guarantees can be fulfilled, ensuring high end-user quality.
