A traffic model for non-real-time data users in a wireless radionetwork

Based on an analysis of Internet protocols for data communication, we propose a simple model for future data traffic in wireless radio networks. Model parameters are selected so as to resemble traffic from the Worldwide Web (WWW) access and from distributed file systems. By changing a single parameter, the model can be switched between resembling up- or down-link traffic. The model is intended for design and performance analysis of radio resource allocation algorithms in future wireless systems
