2. Group 896 Allocation of Radio Resources to packet-switched traffic in GPRS-like networks Project description: Analyze existing GPRS radio resource management strategies. Define scenarios and input parameters, for which an algorithm for the assignment of resources to packet-switch traffic will be developed. Evaluate/validate the algorithm in simplified simulation models.

4. Group 896 Allocation of Radio Resources to packet-switched traffic in GPRS-like networks Simulator Validation RRM strategies: use of output functions and breakpoints to check the behaviour of access queue, choice of TRX/TS, scheduler, reassignment, preemption… Propagation /Transmission: comparison between the curve used to map C/I, BLER and throughput and the one obtained Traffic Model: comparison between input parameters and traffic generated (number of sessions per hour, call length, session size…)
