I would like to do some experiments while applying packet loss. However, I want to follow some well-referenced packet loss settings, which consider to some extent different networks' conditions. For instance, 1% packet loss in the mobile network in driving use case (where end-user is videoconferencing or playing a video ..etc), 3% in a congested network while the is playing an online game, ..etc.
We are interested in packet losses caused at layer 3-4 (i.e., to implement erasure channels) but we are looking for the typical packet loss percentage for a variety of use cases.
My question: Is there any paper or article with justification for typical packet settings align with use cases?
Dear Ahmad Alhilal,
the packet loss in IP networks is caused by various factors - e.g. by the quality of the networks (Bit Error Rate), by protocols, e.g. TCP (Flow Control, Cogestion Control and Packet Dropping). These literature sources may be useful to you:

Do you have any idea what makes WiFi-based Long Distance (WiLD) networks have a high loss rate in urban links (4-70%) and small in rural links up to 2%?

Your Question:
Do you have any idea what makes WiFi-based Long Distance (WiLD) networks have a high loss rate in urban links (4-70%) and small in rural links up to 2%?
Answer:
WiFi-based Long Distance (WiLD) networks with links as long as 50-100 km have the potential to provide connectivity at substantially lower costs than traditional approaches. However, real-world deployments of such networks yield very poor end-to-end performance. First, the current 802.11 MAC protocol has fundamental shortcomings when used over long distances. Second, WiLD networks can exhibit high and variable loss characteristics, thereby severely limiting end-to-end throughput.
These sources would be more helpful for you.

I'm interested in knowing the typical packet loss in the core network rather than the access networks. Is there any research that characterizes the packet loss in different network conditions and from the perspective of end-users?
For instance, a research that shows use cases like, 1) packet drop rate in a congested core network, 2) Packet loss rate in a normal traffic load in the core network, 3) packet loss rate in case of offloading to edge computing 4) packet loss rate in case of offloading to near (e.g., 100km).
3GPP has identified Random Access Channel (RACH) overload as the critical problem in cellular M2M. RACH is the first channel initially used by Mobile Station (User Equipment (UE) in LTE) or M2M device to the accessed cellular network (from 2G through to LTE(4G)). Also, 5G networks are expected to have similar RACH structure and access techniques to its predecessors. RACH, as the first link to the cellular network, is an imperative channel which is organized into frames and slots where access attempts are only allowed in slots. Therefore despite its poor throughput performance, traditional slotted ALOHA (s-ALOHA) has been the popular random access scheme to use for the RACH access in all cellular network standards.
I'm actually looking for research, case study, experimental research that measures the packet loss rate (PLR) both residual and burst loss in the core network. Measuring the loss as a result of congestion and normal network conditions in the backhaul network.
Ahmad, Based on industry experience (I have 25+yrs in the real world), I suggest you collect industry data, rather than relying on academic papers. You will be surprised on how wide the gap is(even assumptions). One path is to check with Girisha Shankar(also on ResearchGate).
