Video streaming analysis in Vienna LTE system level simulator

Abstract

The demand for multimedia services in mobile communication is increasing day by day due to the proliferation of end devices. To overcome the future needs of data communication on mobile devices, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has introduced a new technology which is known as Long Term Evolution (LTE) UMTS. In this paper, we study video streaming behavior on the LTE network. For this purpose, we use the Vienna LTE System Level Simulator which implements network features that correspond to our goal. We consider the parameters that may affect the users experience on a network and define ten scenarios for our simulations. We finally search for methods to fit the video streaming data traffic on the LTE network and exhibit its long range dependence.
