CHARACTERISTICS OF MOBILE COMMUNICATION TRAFFIC IN A 2-WAY BAND-SHAPED SERVICE AREA

In a cellular mobile communication system, a service area is divided i nto many cells for efficient use of channels, It is necessary to take into consideration intercell vehicle movement for teletraffic performa nce evaluation of such cellular mobile communication systems. Its perf ormance evaluation has been done for a one-dimensional band-shaped are a, e.g., a highway, assuming that vehicle movement is one way. This pa per presents a theoretical performance evaluation of a one-dimensional band-shaped area, assuming two-way vehicle movement. First, whether s teady-state performance for the traffic offered to each cell is consta nt is analyzed and then the transient characteristic for the case in w hich traffic varies with time is analyzed. Through a comparison of the oretical and simulation results, the validity of the theoretical resul t is demonstrated.
