ABSTRACT
In this paper, we show statistical analyses of several types of traffic sources in a UMTS network, namely, voice, video, and data sources. For each traffic source type measurements were collected in order to, on the one hand, gain better understanding of the statistical characteristics of the sources and, on the other hand, enable forecasting traffic behavior in the network. The latter can be used to estimate service times and Quality of Service. Based on evaluation of packet inter-arrival times, we propose the Polya distribution to be used in network simulations or in estimations of available capacity in opportunistic sessions. Our results can be applied for dynamic network configuration in order to avoid potential network congestions or overflows.

QoS-aware bandwidth provisioning for IP network links
Current bandwidth provisioning procedures for IP network links are mostly based on simple rules of thumb, using coarse traffic measurements made on a time scale of e.g., 5 or 15min. A crucial question, however, is whether such coarse measurements give ...
Analysis and modelling of traffic produced by adaptive HTTP-based video
The increase of HTTP-based video popularity causes that broadband and Internet service providers' links transmit mainly multimedia content. Network planning, traffic engineering or congestion control requires an understanding of the statistical ...
