Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the effect of traffic
differentiation and priority scheduling in providing Quality of
Service (QoS) for e-learning applications in Universal Mobile
Telecommunication System (UMTS) networks. A simulation
model of the UMTS network has been developed and used to
study performance of e-learning applications as perceived by
users. Priority scheduling is used to prioritize traffic between
e-learning and other conventional users according to their
QoS requirements. Simulation results show that a UMTS
network configured with traffic differentiation and priority
scheduling can deliver e-learning services with page response
time of less than 4 seconds. This performance is within the
acceptable values of web-based applications quality of
service.
