Characteristics of mobile communication traffic considering the vehicle movement in a band-shaped service area

In a cellular mobile communication system, a service area is divided into a number of cells for efficient use of channels. It is necessary to consider the intercell vehicle movement for analyzing traffic performance of such a cellular mobile communication system. This paper presents a theoretical performance evaluation of a band-shaped service area when the traffic offered to a specific cell is bigger than other cells. Furthermore, the characteristics of mobile communication traffic are analyzed when the length of the cell is different from other cells. Through the comparison of theoretical and simulation results, the validity of the theoretical results has been shown.
