We investigate the issue of mobility-oriented guard channel assignment in a mixed traffic load environment. According to different generation sources, calls are first distinguished between handoff and original calls. The original calls are further divided into four classes based on their different mobility and load characteristics, i.e., high load/high mobility; low load/high mobility; high load/low mobility; low load/low mobility. In order to reduce the forced termination of handoff calls, the priority is given to high mobility calls over low mobility calls, and with the same mobility level, high load calls are assumed to have the priority over low load calls. We compare the forced termination and uncompleted call probabilities when assigning different sets of guard channels to the handoff and prioritized original calls. The analytical model presented can effectively cover a wide range of mobility and load levels.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

The PRMA is derived from the slotted Aloha protocol, and being a reservation protocol makes it suitable to cope with the quality needs of the voice service. In the technical literature it is not difficult to find papers which deal with the performance evaluation of systems which use the PRMA; the mathematical tool known as equilibrium point analysis (EPA) is used in most of this work to calculate the performance of the system. The results of the EPA are cumbersome to compute and require programming complex mathematical expressions. Instead of this method, a model based on queueing theory is proposed to evaluate the PRMA protocol. The probability of packets being dropped and talkspurts being clipped are easily computed according to the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

Numerical results of the protocol are given in terms of load, G and throughput, S.

We present strategies for accommodating continuous service to mobile users via modifications in the design of the multiple access (MAC) protocol. More specifically, we focus on the adjustments required in the scheduling mechanism operating at base stations which grants access to mobile terminals by assigning them channels and time slots. In order to meet the needs to such mobile users, we propose a scheduler that uses anticipatory handoff indications from neighboring base stations to pre-assign slots for mobiles that are close to entering its coverage area. The paper examines the considerations necessary in pin-pointing such potential handoff mobiles. Additionally, an alternate MAC frame structure is presented to accommodate these potential users. Parameters that improve the reliability and utilization of these assignments are also studied.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

However, little emphasis has been given to how one may migrate from analog to CDMA, and how the underlying analog system is impacted by the sharing of the spectrum between the two technologies. Such practical issues may reduce the realized capacity below the sum of the theoretical capacity of the individual systems. In an overlay system the objective is to increase the capacity of the total deployed system rather than that of the digital system, or analog system alone. This paper discusses some preliminary results and focuses on such issues as using the coverage advantage of CDMA over analog to decrease the required number of cell sites that require conversion to dual-mode, and how this affects the underlying analog system and the effective capacity of the total system. As more demands occur on the system, the question arises as to whether one should deploy CDMA in more analog cells in the dual-mode footprint, or opt for an additional carrier in either a portion or in the total footprint. The various options available to the network provider are analyzed with the objective of optimization of the total system capacity.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.

This method makes use of complementary code sets. These codes have been selected due to their ideal autocorrelation and noninteracting characteristics. With these code sets orthogonality between users can be maintained even in the fading multipath channel which is a valuable property that cannot be provided with conventional multiple access codes. Bit error rate simulations have been made to test the link level performance of the system. Both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels have been employed. Simulation results confirmed that complementary code sets are well adapted for use as multiple access codes in a mobile radio environment. Link level simulations pointed out that by using complementary code sets the number of non-interacting users in the Rayleigh fading channel on a single carrier can be increased. One clear advantage compared to the traditional CDMA systems is that power control is not necessary within a cell. Neither are the time synchronization requirements so strict as usual. The Erlang radio capacity was studied. The results indicated that approximately a twofold improvement over TDMA is possible with hybrid techniques.","PeriodicalId":166667,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Cat.
