A traffic model and analysis for cellular mobile radio telephone systems with handoff are described. Three schemes for call traffic handling are considered. One is nonprioritized and two are priority oriented. Fixed channel assignment is considered. In the nonprioritized scheme the base stations make no distinction between new call attempts and handoff attempts. Attempts which find all channels occupied are cleared. In the first priority scheme considered, a fixed number of channels in each cell are reserved exclusively for handoff calls. The second priority scheme employs a similar channel assignment strategy, but, additionally, the queueing of handoff attempts is allowed. Appropriate analytical models and criteria are developed and used to derive performance characteristics. These show, for example, blocking probability, forced termination probability, and fraction of new calls not completed, as functions of pertinent system parameters. General formulas are given and specific numerical results for nominal system parameters are presented.

This article provides a detailed discussion of wireless resource and channel allocation schemes. The authors provide a survey of a large number of published papers in the area of fixed, dynamic, and hybrid allocation schemes and compare their trade-offs in terms of complexity and performance. We also investigate these channel allocation schemes based on other factors such as distributed/centralized control and adaptability to traffic conditions. Moreover, we provide a detailed discussion on reuse partitioning schemes, the effect of handoffs, and prioritization schemes. Finally, we discuss other important issues in resource allocation such as overlay cells, frequency planning, and power control.

Channel assignment schemes for cellular mobile telecommunication systems: A comprehensive survey

A mathematical formulation is developed for systematic tracking of the random movement of a mobile station in a cellular environment. It incorporates mobility parameters under the most generalized conditions, so that the model can be tailored to be applicable in most cellular environments. This mobility model is used to characterize different mobility-related traffic parameters in cellular systems. These include the distribution of the cell residence time of both new and handover calls, channel holding time, and the average number of handovers. It is shown that the cell residence time can be described by the generalized gamma distribution. It is also shown that the negative exponential distribution is a good approximation for describing the channel holding time.

Large-scale mobile radio systems using dynamic channel REassignment switch the channels assigned to some of the calls in progress to maintain a nearly optimum separation between coverage areas simultaneously using the same channel. Dynamic channel REassignment produces a significant increase in channel occupancy. For example, in the systems studied, which have a uniform distribution of their fixed channels and were operated against a uniform spatial distribution of offered traffic, the channel occupancy was increased by 2/3 over a pure fixed channel assignment system at a blocking rate of one percent. This corresponds to a channel savings of about 40 percent for the same traffic carried at one percent blocking by the hybrid systems that were studied.

Large-scale mobile radio systems using dynamic channel REassignment switch the channels assigned to some of the calls in progress to maintain a nearly optimum separation between coverage areas simultaneously using the same channel. Dynamic channel REassignment produces a significant increase in channel occupancy. For example, in the systems studied, which have a uniform distribution of their fixed channels and were operated against a uniform spatial distribution of offered traffic, the channel occupancy was increased by \frac23 over a pure fixed channel assignment system at a blocking rate of one percent. This corresponds to a channel savings of about 40 percent for the same traffic carried at one percent blocking by the hybrid systems that were studied.

Increasing Channel Occupancy in Large-Scale Mobile Radio Systems: Dynamic Channel REassignment

A satellite system with several independent spot beams is considered, wherein each spot beam can be scanned over a limited portion of some large service region. The spectral band is totally reused in each spot beam, thereby providing high system capacity. Such a system combines the high antenna gain advantages of a fixed beam system while providing access to the satellite from any point within the overall service region. Moreover, the transmission resources of the satellite can be dynamically allocated to match time-varying changes of the possibly nonuniform terrestrial traffic patterns. The limited-scan antenna forms multiple spot beams, each of which scans only in one dimension; by alternating polarizations among scan strips, high isolation between beams is guaranteed. We show that nearly equal volumes of traffic can be served by each limited scan beam by proper orientation of the scan regions, and complete interconnectivity among all points in all scan regions is achieved easily. A practical antenna design to implement this concept is presented.

A Satellite System with Limited-Scan Spot Beams

A simple fundamental relationship is derived between antenna gain and transmitter power which maximizes the effective radiated power in mass-limited satellite systems. In the most common case, maximum effective radiated power is achieved when the payload mass is divided equally between the antenna system and the power system. Although this may have been known intuitively to satellite designers, to the author's knowledge this relationship has never been published. Example calculations show that considerable increases in performance can be expected for satellites which employ high-gain multibeam antennas.
