Priority Traffic Modeling in Multicellular Communication Networks

Abstract

In this paper we analyze a cellular communication environment which offers specific users priority access to network resources. We foresee a finite number of widespread disparate mobiles moving in a geographical region covered by a finite set of cells. Each user belongs to a class characterized by a specific service, load and mobility profile. In this paper we will consider two classes, namely high priority class and low priority class. The developed analytical network model, validated by simulation experiments, allows us to evaluate the main system performance parameters in terms of new call blocking probability, hand-off blocking probability and forced termination probability.
