Performance of downlink packet data transmission in a UMTS network

Abstract

Three different techniques for supporting packet data services in UMTS networks are compared in terms of packet call delays. The downlink shared channel (DSCH) is shown to have better performance when compared with the use of the dedicated channel (DCH) with a low rate reshuffling period.
