Abstract

Traffic analysis for third generation mobile telecommunication systems should take into account a variety of services (e.g., voice, data, video) and “environments” (private, public outdoor, public indoor) as well as the user mobility behavior. The analytical traffic model presented in this paper incorporates all the above mentioned features. The model utilizes a set of simplifying assumptions regarding the distribution of certain random time intervals (e.g., call duration and “cell residence time”) and the handover arrival process. The core of the model focuses on the estimation of the cell border crossing rate and the time it takes a busy mobile user to leave a cell area. This allows for the estimation of the handover rate and the call duration within a cell, which in turn, utilizing an iterative method, allows for the calculation of the offered traffic load per cell. The major advantages of the model are: (a) the simple closed form solutions, (b) its independence from the applied radio resource management scheme, and (c) its accuracy. The latter is validated via a simulation tool, which accommodates different cell-layout scenarios over a geographical area, representing a `typical' city center, modeled as a Manhattan grid.
