MODELING OF DYNAMIC FLOWS IN CELLULAR MOBILE NETWORKS

A mathematical model that predicts the dynamic flows in cellular mobil e networks with handoff procedures is described in this paper. Two typ es of handoff procedures considered in the model are the non-prioritiz ed and the prioritized or reserved channel schemes. The dynamic behavi our of this model makes it suitable to analyse dynamic channel allocat ion methods as well as to analyse the robustness of the system under p erturbation. The basic concept of our model is based on the fluid flow theory and the queueing theory. Discrete event simulations were perfo rmed and the results were found to be comparable to the results obtain ed using the mathematical model.
