Evaluation of the blocking probability and the throughput in the uplink of wireless cellular networks

Abstract

The objective of the present paper is to propose a rapid and accurate method for the evaluation of the quality of service (QoS) perceived by the users in the uplink of wireless cellular networks. In doing so we aim to account for the dynamics induced by the arrivals and the departures of the users. In particular, the QoS is evaluated in terms of the blocking probability for streaming users and the throughput of elastic calls.
