4. Bandwidth related metrics:
• Bulk Transfer Capacity (TCP throughput)
• Available Bandwidth
• Link Capacity
• Error Rate.
From Where to Measure:
• From End Host to Server .
• From End Host to Gateway.(GGSN).
5. Measurement Models Discussed in the
literature can be classified as
• Available Bandwidth
Probe gap model.(PGM)
e.g. IGI, Spruce, Delphi.
Probe rate model.(PRM)
e.g. pathchrip, BART, TOPP, PTR.
• Link Capacity
e.g. Aymprobe, Capprobe
• Packet loss Rate.
e.g. ping.

8. Objectives:
- understand availability & performance of
existing 3G infrastructure/network in Delhi.
-compare advertised and actual data rates
of various companies.
- study the implication of existing network on
higher layer protocols.

10. Tasks Accomplished
• Study of GPRS/EDGE
• Architecture of GPRS and New interface on GSM
• Working of GPRS in PS (Packet Switching) Network
• Comparison with EDGE Technology
• Study of HSPA (HSDPA/HSUPA)
• Release 4
• Release 5 (HSDPA)
• Release 6 (HSUPA)
13. Shown the graph from both side (server side and client side)
Analysis:
• Gap shows the packet loss.
• It use the slow start phase.
14. Analysis
• More no of retransmission
• Small window size with compare to Airtel 3G
15.
16. Prospective tasks:
• Study of HSPA+ (Release 7 and more)
• Understand the simulation of the MAC
layer functioning in HSPA/HSPA+
• Bandwidth Comparison of 3G Providers
