Journal ArticleDOI
The multiple-call hand-off problem in high-capacity cellular communications systems
TL;DR: A preliminary analytical model that characterizes the central issues of the hand-off problem when vehicles can support multiple calls simultaneously, and a suitable vector state representation is identified which casts the problem as a multidimensional birth-death process.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for teletraffic performance and channel holding time characterization in wireless cellular communication with general session and dwell time distributions
TL;DR: An approach to modeling user mobility and session time which enables both the calculation of teletraffic performance characteristics and a characterization of holding time which agrees with published reports is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microcellular communication systems with hierarchical macrocell overlays: traffic performance models and analysis
Stephen S. Rappaport,Lon-Rong Hu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical overlaid scheme suitable for high-capacity microcellular communications systems is considered as a strategy to achieve high system performance and broad coverage, where high-teletraffic areas are covered by microcells while overlaying macrocells cover low-TEFL areas and provide overflow groups of channels for clusters of microcells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personal communication systems using multiple hierarchical cellular overlays
Lon-Rong Hu,Stephen S. Rappaport +1 more
TL;DR: An analytical model for teletraffic performance (including hand-off) is developed and shows the carried traffic, traffic distribution, blocking, and forced termination probabilities for users having different mobility characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blocking, hand-off and traffic performance for cellular communication systems with mixed platforms
TL;DR: In this paper, a tractable analytical model for traffic performance analysis using multidimensional birth-death processes and the method of phases is developed using a multidisciplinary approach to analyze the effects of different mobility parameters and imperfect detection of hand-off needs.
