Channel Holding Time in Wireless Cellular Communications with General Distributed Session Time and Dwell Time

Channel holding time is fundamental to teletraffic analysis of wireless cellular networks. This quantity depends on user's mobility which can be characterized by the dwell time, and the traffic model which is associated with the unencumbered session time. In this paper, under a general assumption on the distributions of unencumbered session time and dwell time, the characteristics of new call channel holding time and handoff call channel holding time are investigated. Analytical formulae for the distributions of new call channel holding time and handoff call channel holding time are derived
