Transport Protocol
RLC
- Transport is based on fast IP routing in IP RAN. - 'Information highway' ends in RNC in UTRAN, but lasts till IP BTS in IP RAN. - Routing of a packet from CN to IP BTS takes only few ms.
No Iub in IP RAN --> - Smaller RLC RTT - quicker RLC retransmissions - User experiences better bit rate for bursty traffic

- TCP/IP traffic, e.g. web browsing, single object per page: TCP algorithms (slow start with 1 Maximum Segment Size initial window, MSS = 1460 B, delayed TCP acknowledgement) - TCP session setup: 3-way handshake (3 messages, last setup message contains HTTP request) - RLC RTT 140 ms for UTRAN and 70 ms for IP RAN - Block Error Rate over radio 10% - Constant user bitrate over the radio interface - CN RTT 65 ms (web server very close to RAN). No server processing time.
Experienced Bit Rate: user bits / total TX time, without DSCH/DCH allocation delay Gain (%): how much better experienced bit rate IP RAN gives compared to UTRAN with Iub interface Result evaluated for WCDMA case, similar results for GERAN

The gain from the more efficient Control Plane is especially large for packet services, due to the frequent change of state.
Evaluation: Find the improvement in download time for files of different sizes for different user bit rates on the air interface Assumption: Iub setup time=350msec, other parameters like in previous example.

Note that the above gains are found within Control Plane alone In general, the gain is between 10 and 30%. Gain is highest for small files and high bit rates
For most common file sizes and user bit rates, the gain is about 20 - 25%

In UTRAN, this measurement needs to be standardised on the Iub interface, meaning All-IP RAN problem! that we need to merge ourovercomes proposal withthis the opinions from other companies.

Conclusions
Users experience better service in All-IP RAN for packet data, with delay for the transmission of a packet reduced up to 40% Reduced code allocation time. Potential optimization of RRM algorithm without the burden of using the predefined Iub measurement

CRRM is most important for interactive connections for high bit rate (>32 kbps) conversational and streaming connections when large number of layers and systems are integrated Note: these gains are fairly ideal gains assuming no delays in signaling etc. With proper CRRM algorithms most of these gains can be obtained in practice
