The 4G is expected to be a quantum leap in Internet connection speeds capable of supporting real time multimedia traffic with throughputs of upto fifty times possible today. With today's 3G technology data rates are around 200 kbps (download) and 64 kbps (upload), which could go as high as 20 Mbps for 4G. This paper presents a 3G data traffic model with several traffic scenarios such as channels bursts in forward/reverse directions. The relative effect on CPU occupancy has been studied. The study highlights the relative processing requirements for different 3G data models that are expected to be valid for next generation mobile communication systems.
