A Coxian model for channel holding time distribution for teletraffic mobility modeling

In this letter, we derive an algebraic set of equations that examines the r elationships between the cell residence times and the handoff call's channe l holding time, When the cell residence times have an Erlang or Hyper-Erlan g distribution, the channel holding times can be represented by a Coxian mo del. An algorithm is presented to compute the parameters of the equivalent Coxian model. The analytical models proposed in this letter provide a flexi ble framework for further studies into the optimization and performance eva luation aspects of teletraffic mobile systems.
