Managing mixed services with controlled QoS in GERAN-the GSM/EDGE radio access network

Managing multiple services with controlled quality of service (QoS) is crucial to 3/sup rd/ generation cellular systems. This paper describes and evaluates a simple radio resource management scheme; service-based power setting, employed to accomplish this goal for the GSM/EDGF radio access network (GERAN). Simulation results indicate that with proper power offsets between bearer services previously established high capacities for single services may be maintained also for a mix of different services with controlled QoS.
