QoS analysis of cellular systems with linear topology and high user mobility

This paper proposes an analytical approach for the evaluation of the quality of service (QoS) perceived by end users in cellular communication systems which provide radio coverage of suburban loads or highways, where the user mobility is typically very high. The approach is based on the interaction between the queueing model of an individual cell and an accurate description of the end user behavior, the latter comprising a probabilistic description of the user mobility and call duration. Different classes of user mobility and services can be considered. As a measure of the QoS perceived by end users, the probability that a call completes successfully is derived.
