    Traffic Modelling for UMTS Network::

    Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) is one of the proposed "third generation" (3G) mobile communication systems that delivers voice, data, and multimedia services at up 2 Mbps.

    The goal of the project is to build a small UMTS network model in Opnet and perform traffic simulation. We will investigate the impact of different traffic models (on/off, Poisson, multimedia traces) through the system on different UMTS QoS classes (conversational, streaming, interactive). We will examine various parameters such as end-to-end delay and throughput.
