...Quality Of Service

„ When comparing to GSM and other 2G cellular systems, 3G


brings in a new aspect, QoS classification. The services
offered can be divided into four different groups also called
Traffic Classes. Those are:
9 Conversational (e.g. speech and video Telephony)
9 Streaming (e.g. listening to music and watching video)
9 Interactive (e.g. Internet based shopping)
9 Background (e.g. downloading mail)

„ This division aims to take into account how delay sensitive


the traffic in each class is. The Conversational Class traffic is
very delay sensitive and the Background Class traffic is very
insensitive for delays.
