heal.abstract	This paper evaluates the packet data performance of Internet Protocol (IP) over TErrestrial Trunked RAdio (TETRA), focusing on the effects of packet size and message transmission rate. We performed a range of simulations to evaluate the average packet delay and packet failure probability corresponding to IP datagram transmission on the Packet Data CHannel (PDCH) in a TETRA cell. We employed IP packets of different sizes and we considered a number of different scenarios with respect to the number of users in a cell and datagram transmission rate. The simulation results offer TETRA operators the means for facilitating network planning and optimization of datagram-based services. Apart from the simulation, we also conducted an extensive measurement survey on the performance of IP over the TETRA PDCH. In particular, we carried out measurements in a client-server communication scenario with different datagram sizes and typical user mobility and radio propagation conditions. Measurement results include throughput, delay jitter, percentage of lost datagrams and out-of-order datagrams. The results obtained through our measurement survey can extent and enhance the simulation results because they are more realistic and consider user mobility as well as channel impairments. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.	en
