Subconfluent ARPE-19 cells, plated in 24-well plates, were transfected with pGL4.23 HSE wt (x4 -Luciferase or pGL4.23 HSE mut (x4 -Luciferase [69], using Liporectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA).
We evaluated the CADF scheme on the Qualcomm 3G emulator HSE 2 by conducting detailed experiments.
HSE 2 acts as a bridge between terminal equipments by dropping and delaying IP packets to emulate 3G channels.
The Qualcomm 3G emulator HSE 2 provides several scenarios for choosing different channel conditions that determine the uplink rates.
A background on the HSE 2 emulator as well as an experimental analysis of the EV-DO T2P RTC MAC algorithm is presented in the Appendix.
They are connected via a layer 2 switch to the HSE 2, which, in turn, is connected to a laptop labeled as "Server".
In Section "Performance evaluation", we present detailed experimental results conducted on the HSE 2 emulator, and in Section "Conclusions", we make some concluding remarks.
Evaluation on Qualcomm 3G Emulator: We evaluate the content awareness of WCDMA uplink by implementing the CADF scheme on the HSE 2 emulator under realistic conditions.
Another focus of this study is to validate our proposed algorithms using a packet-level Qualcomm 3G emulator, called "High data rate System Emulator 2" (HSE 2) [6].
The HSE 2 is an industry-grade packet level software emulator that emulates the behavior of a 3G system at the IP layer.
Among its many features, the HSE 2 supports the following for uplink emulation: Emulates the air interface and backhaul delays for EV-DO Revision-A.
