Abstract

A new queuing model is proposed for the performance evaluation of the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) protocol, with respect to a specified user, in UMTS networks. The model is based on the recently evolved MM ΣΚκ= CPPκGEcLG-queue1, in which the number of servers allocated to a specified user is subjected to vary according to the physical channel allocation policy. This queue is, essentially, an important variant of the so-called Sigma queuing model, and it is able to capture most of the features of HSDPA wireless communications, such as traffic-burstiness, channel fading, channel allocation policy, etc., in an integrated way. Numerical results for the performance of HSDPA with respect to a specified user are obtained, and different HSDPA user equipment categories are compared with respect to their computed model throughputs.
