A dynamic pre-allocated connection (DPC) scheme is proposed to support fast
handoff and to effectively utilize wireline links. Since the proposed sche
me uses pre-allocated switched virtual connections (PSVCs), handoff can be
quickly executed in real-time with reduced connection overhead. This dynami
c resource management scheme increases utilization of wireline links due to
statistical multiplexing effects. For a heterogeneous traffic environment
the probabilities of new call blocking, handoff call blocking, and fast han
doff failure due to a lack of PSVCs are analysed using a birth-death approx
imation.
