TLDR
Network performance results for different services over HSDPA, ranging from simple best effort traffic, to constant bit rate streaming, and voice over IP are shown, showing capacity gains of up to 40% from using QoS-aware packet scheduling.
Abstract
The functional split between the centralized radio network controller (RNC) and the base station (node-B) presents new challenges and opportunities for implementing QoS control for HSDPA. In this paper we present different options for implementing QoS over HSDPA, and we focus particularly on the shared responsibility between the QoS aware algorithms at the RNC and the node-B. Different strategies for QoS aware node-B packet schedulers are discussed. The paper is concluded with network performance results for different services over HSDPA, ranging from simple best effort traffic, to constant bit rate streaming, and voice over IP. For these services we show capacity gains of up to 40% from using QoS-aware packet scheduling.

The impact of QoS support on the end user satisfaction in LTE networks with mixed traffic

TL;DR: This paper presents a system simulation study for two-service scenarios with VoIP and a second service represented by real-time video, mobile TV, or web surfing, and demonstrates that traffic differentiation and service prioritization are particularly crucial when a delay-critical service is in combination with delay-insensitive intensive traffic.

Strategies for Mobile Broadband Growth: Traffic Segmentation for Better Customer Experience

TL;DR: In the analyzed cases, using the proposed QoS functions, simulation results for 3GPP High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) showed a spectral efficiency gain up to circa 30%; or, equivalently, a potential sites saving of about 22%, for serving the same amount of satisfied traffic on the best effort with capacity over provisioning.

Downloading video in mobile networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and network entity for downloading detected video packets is proposed, which uses MinBR and SBR as a minimum bit rate limit and a maximum rate limit respectively between which the bit rate for delivering video in case of congestion is defined.

Exploiting and Defending Opportunistic Scheduling in Cellular Data Networks

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that rogue cellular devices can exploit vulnerabilities in popular opportunistic scheduling algorithms, such as Proportional Fair (PF) and Temporal Fair (TF), to usurp the majority of time slots in 3G networks, and proposes a robust handoff scheme to defend against this attack.

Normalized Rate Guarantee Scheduler for High Speed Downlink Packet Access

TL;DR: This paper considers different QoS classes or user groups and study resource allocation among those user groups using HSDPA MAC-layer scheduling and proposes a normalized rate guarantee (NRG) scheduler, which is an extension of a previous QoS scheduler by Hosein (2002).
