Investigating the boundary effect of a multimedia TDMA personal mobile communication network simulation

Abstract

In this paper, the boundary effect in multimedia TDMA personal mobile communication network simulation is investigated. We evaluate the performance of several Channel Assignment Strategies (CASs) for multi-rate traffic calls in a Manhattan-like microcellular environment under two different simulation topologies. These are the wrapped around topology, which minimize the boundary effect, and the unwrapped topology, which ignore it. Both, uniform traffic and uneven time varying traffic are considered. Also, the user mobility is taking into account. The CASs evaluated are the Maximum Packing (MP) algorithm with cluster channel reservation (CCR) and the Extended Local Packing (ELP) algorithm. The ELP is a practical distributed dynamic CAS that approaches closely the system capacity of the MP with CCR algorithm. Simulation results obtained using the unwrapped topology compared to those obtained using the wrapped one differs no more than 2%.0-7803-7005-8/01/$10.00 0 2001 IEEE

Frequency and Time Domain Packet Scheduling Based on Channel Prediction with Imperfect CQI in LTE

“…Users are uniformly distributed within each cell and inter-cell interference remains constant. Each user moves within the cell at a constant speed in a constant direction which is initialized as a random value and is wrapped-around whenever it reaches the cell boundary [25]. Users only have real time applications.…”

Video Streaming Performance Under Well-Known Packet Scheduling Algorithms

“…These users are uniformly located within the cell. A user is wrapped-around whenever it reaches the cell edge [34]. The Cost-231 HATA model for an urban environment [35], a Gaussian log-normal distribution with 0 mean and 8 dB standard deviation [36] and a frequency-flat Rayleigh fading model [37] are used to model the radio propagation channel.…”

Performance analysis of EXP/PF and M-LWDF in downlink 3GPP LTE system

“…Users are constantly moving at the speeds between 1-100 km/h in random directions. A wrap-around method [12] is employed at the cell boundary to ensure users always remain within the simulated area. It is worthwhile to mention that several assumptions are made in this paper due to time limitations as well as in order to reduce complexity of the system simulation.…”
