Network and radio receiver simulation studies of the Pan-European digital cellular system .
G.P. Labedz, P.L. Reilly · 2002
Two GSM (Groupe Special Mobile) network simulation tools, TRANSIM and GSMRCVR, are discussed. The first has been effectively used to predict call-type traffic delays and processor performance and can also be used to configure mobile switching centers. Extensive simulations have been performed on the radio reception performance for GSM. Coding gains have been established for the basic coding/interleaving scheme. This scheme appears to break down at slower speeds and requires hopping over a number of frequencies to correct. Results have been found to be quite sensitive to the channel model used.>
