Measures of wireless data performance

Abstract

There is considerable interest within the industry in specifying the performance of wireless data. In this letter, we review and contrast various performance metrics such as peak rates, average throughput, and user experience. We discuss the relevance of these measures to varying applications such as marketing, planning, and technology comparisons.

Scheduling alternatives for mobile WiMAX end-to-end simulations and analysis

“…For the closed-loop environment, a full-buffer model [39] sends data continuously for the duration of the simulation time in order to obtain aggregate throughput and delay numbers;…”
