Title
Modeling latency for 3G mobile networks
Abstract
Latency in a packet-switched network is measured either one-way (the time from the source sending a packet to the destination receiving it), or round-trip (the one-way latency from source to destination plus the one-way latency from the destination back to the source). Round-trip latency is more often quoted, because it can be measured from a single point. Note that round trip latency excludes the amount of time that a destination system spends processing the packet. Traffic models are to provision the increasing load of packet switched traffic in mobile 3G networks. However, most traffic models were designed to fit the need of low delay wired connections. In this paper we propose a new traffic model for POP3 e-mail traffic generation in 3G mobile networks scenarios. The model is based on traces which were given in a literature. The main improvement of the model is the explicit modeling of the login process that takes place between the client and the server. We implemented the model in the network simulation tool ns-2 and based on this we simulated various scenarios to visualize the impact of a leading initialization phase in high RTT environments. The results proof that the extension can reproduce the effect from the login in a more precise way. Finally a comparison between the measured and the simulated service footprints were compared. The new model performs better than common models in this scenario.
