- Abstract:
-
This paper presents a wireless link and network emulator for
the Wireless IP 4G system proposal from
Uppsala University and partners.
In wireless fading downlinks (base to terminals) link-level
frames are scheduled and the transmission is adapted on a
fast time scale. With fast link adaptation and fast link level
retransmission, the fading properties of wireless links
can to a large extent be counteracted at the physical
and link layers. The emulator has been used to experimentally
investigate the resulting interaction between the transport
layer and the physical/link layer in such a downlink.
The paper introduces the Wireless IP system, describes
the emulator design and implementation, and presents
experimental results with TCP in combination with
various physical/link layer parameters.
The impact of link layer ARQ persistency,
adaptive modulation, prediction errors and
simple scheduling are all considered.
