Mobile Cellular Traffic with the Effect of Outage Channels

Abstract

The designer of the cellular network must evaluate the possible configurations of the system components and their characteristics in order to develop a system with greater efficiency. This article studies the grade of service (GOS) degradation in the presence of outage for a mobile cellular network where the number of channels in outage can be used as an indicator of the traffic load for two models, namely fixed outage rate and traffic dependent outage rate. The performance parameters considered for this article are: the probability of delay, waiting time for priority and nonpriority calls, mean waiting time, and priority gain; each is estimated for both models. The system is evaluated and compared under different conditions.
