Traffic Capacity of UMTS System in Reverse Link

UMTS can be connected to data networks. So Internet traffic services such as WWW browsing, email, ftp, SMTP, etc should be handled by UMTS. Each of the traffic services has some specific properties but all of them obey a basic ON/OFF model. For a traffic service there is some unused (OFF) times between their transmitted packets which we may use them for other services to increase the traffic capacity of the network. In this paper we propose a new method on the Internet traffic evaluation in an interference limited UMTS-WCDMA system. In this method first we calculate ON and OFF time durations of the above traffic services based on the model presented in 3GPP then their activity factors. Secondly we introduce new capacity curves such as The Number of Web browsing users/Email users/ftp users/Telnet users and Fax users versus voice users. These are applicable in traffic planning for wireless systems.
