Abstract
Modelling and analysing for multimedia applications in a mobile network, with real-time behaviour taken into consideration,
is still a subject of much research. Generalized Stochastic Petri Net (GSPN) is well known formalisms used to represent and
analyse communication and computer systems. However, it does not have enough expressive power to model timing behaviours of
multimedia applications in a mobile network. To address this limitation, we develop quality of services based GSPN, which
is capable of doing so. The extension offers the promise of providing real-time system predictability for systems characterised
by substantial stochastic behaviour. With this model we model and analyse the handover and admission control schemes in the
different multimedia traffic environments. Our result, thereby, provide the optimal performance achievable for these schemes
under the real-time constraints in the given setting of design parameters.
