Analysis of channel allocation schemes for cellular mobile communication networks

Abstract

The coverage area and the number of users of mobile communication networks are in a continuous and fast growing, while the allocated frequency spectrum remains unchanged. New efficient management schemes have to be deployed in order to maintain a good grade of service. This paper deals with a software package meant to evaluate by simulation the blocking probability in a cellular system induced by a channel allocation scheme and, thus, to select its parameters in accordance with the network architecture and the traffic distribution on its coverage area.
