Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Performance analysis of gsm networks with intelligent underlay-overlay" ?
Further research is planned to include several super frequency groups into the model, as well as studying the effect when the MSs do not have to camp first on the regular layer for a while before accommodated into the super layer, as Nokia proposed recently.
Q3. What is the effect of movement on the utilization of the cell?
When the load is low then the movement helps in reaching better utilization in the cell, while in higher load conditions the increased movement has a negative effect on the utilization of the super frequencies which results in a reduced overall utilization of the cell.
Q4. What is the useful outcome of the paper?
One the most useful outcomes of the paper is that decreasing the super coverage factor assuming a given cellconfiguration, does not mean immediate capacity degradation.
Q5. What is the promising way of capacity enhancement?
The most promising way of capacity enhancement requires minor investment while allowing more capacity with minor or no degradation of service quality.
Q6. Why do the moving MSs affect the performance of the system?
Due to the high moving MSs ratio the regular channels become the bottleneck of the system and their availability characterize the system performance.
Q7. How can the super coverage factor be decreased?
For instance, for configuration 3+2, the super coverage factor can be decreased down to 60% without degrading loosing capacity in the cell.
Q8. What is the effect of IUO on the performance of a cell?
The analysis results characterize the effect of IUO on the performance of a cell as a function of the coverage factor, the mobility of MSs, and their speed.
Q9. Why is the loss probability of the moving MS so low?
It is because the loss probability is composed by two main factors: the probability of rejecting new or incoming handover calls (referred to as blocking) and the soft blocking.
Q10. What is the effect of using this scheme on the network planner?
The Markov analysis based investigations has focused on the effect of using this scheme on the one-cell performance taking into account the coverage factor of the super frequencies and the movement of the mobile stations.
Q11. What is the style used in the rule definition syntax of the model specification language?
The authors follow the style used in the rule definition syntax of the model specification language, MOSEL [13], which is based on a ”Which state follows "! if...” logic.
Q12. What is the promising solution to increase the capacity of a cellular network?
Another solution is to deploy more base stations (cell splitting), or to in-This work has been partially supported by OTKA T 034972.
Q13. What is the purpose of this paper?
The paper presented an analytical model for GSM-based cellular mobile network that implements the Intelligent Underlay-Overlay scheme to increase the frequency reuse and, therefore, the capacity of the network.
Q14. How many MHz is the spectrum available for GSM?
However the overall available GSM spectrum is limited and is usually divided between 2 or 3 network operators leaving a spectrum of not more than 10 MHz for each operator.
Q15. What is the effect of the movement on the cell performance?
The results show that the higher ratio of movement results in higher loss probability which can be explained with the higher number of handovers resulting from the movement.
Q16. what is the probability of a hand-over from super to regular?
The hand-over rate from super to regular frequencies and vice versa resulting from the movement of the moving MS are calculated taking into account: the speed of the MS , the radius of the cell, the coverage factor of the super layer, and the probability that the movement of the MS will lead to increase or decrease the value of C/I ratio.
Q17. How does the base station determine the frequency of the mobile traffic?
To maintain optimum capacity, the base station assigns mobile traffic to either layer of the network according to actual interference levels.
Q18. What is the difference between the two methods?
Both methods are similar in the sense that they allow more frequencies to be used in the existing cells, that is increase the reuse factor, introducing minor investment cost.
