3G and B3G Networks

Packet Delay and Packet Transfer Delay

Figure: Packet Delay Histogram

In PS service simulations (esp. HSDPA) the delay of all successfully transmitted packets are recorded. There are two different quantities: The Packet Delay is measured from the generation of the packet (corresponds to the arrival of the packet at the Node B) to the successful reception at UE side. This includes scheduling delays, transmission delays, and retransmission delays (on packet level or transport block level). An example histogram output is shown below. It contains several data lines, whereof each corresponds to one sector.
