Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study, analyze and simulate different types of non-real time applications and Real time applications such as Web Browsing (WEB), Electronic Mail (E-MAIL), File Transfer Protocol and different types of voice codec. In addition, the paper explains, how these applications generate signalling messages such as Radio Resource Control, Node-B Application Part and Radio Access Network Application Part in a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) using an OPNET Modeler 14.5. After execution of the simulation, the result shows that the E-mail application and the codec GSM half rate generate large number of the signalling message.
