The phenomenal growth in the subscriber population has necessitated the accurate
dimensioning and performance analysis of cellular networks. Classically, cellular networks …

Classically cellular networks have been analysed using Poisson call arrivals and negative
exponential channel holding times. However, measurements on live networks have …

We present a two-moment performance analysis of cellular mobile networks with and
without channel reservation. Unlike classical analysis where handoff traffic is modeled as …

Handoff is an important issue in cellular mobile telephone systems. Recently, studies that
question the validity of the assumption of handoff arrivals being Poissonian have appeared …

Handoffs in cellular communication systems cause interactions among cells that can be
modeled using multi-dimensional birth–death process approaches and the concept of …

From a teletraffic analysis point of view, hand-off traffic is the main distinguishing feature
between fixed (POTS) telephone networks and mobile telephone networks. In earlier macro …

Horizontal and vertical handoffs are important ramifications of user mobility in multi-tier
heterogeneous cellular networks. They directly affect the signaling overhead and quality of …

In modeling teletraffic performance of mobile cellular networks, previous work has made use
of the concept of dwell time-a random variable that describes the amount of time a platform …

In this paper, a teletraffic model to analyze wireless mobile cellular networks with hyper-
Erlang distributed cell dwell time is developed. We demonstrate that the residual cell dwell …

This paper proposes a model for configuring cellular networks to study the dynamics of
mobility between a single cell and its adjacent cells. It differs from most models considered …
