On the effect of correlation in multislot link layer analysis for GPRS
Javier Gozálvez, John A. Dunlop · 2002
The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is due to be implemented in current mobile networks, introducing a whole new range of mobile data applications and services. Considerable effort has been devoted to test its capabilities and system performance. Previous GPRS link layer studies have assumed the allocation of a single slot per frame. However, multiple slots may be allocated to a single user. The aim of this paper is to study the impact of potential correlation on the GPRS multislot link layer performance.
