B. Comparison to GPRSIM Results
The settings in the GPRS simulator GPRSIM [6] were
adjusted to meet the measurement conditions, e.g., downlink
multislot capability 3, FTP protocol, file size, etc. The
comparison shows very similar results in simulation and
measurements (see Figure 7). For 1, 2 and 3 active stations
the throughput is the same, while for 4 active stations the
simulation result is slightly lower, which can be explained
by cell re-selections with 4 active stations in the measurement
scenario (see Section IV.A).
This comparison can be seen as a validation of the
GPRSIM regarding the statistical multiplexing function of
