A finite-buffered cellular mobile radio system with various multiple-call platforms

In a cellular mobile radio system that supports various types of platforms, a platform may consist of multiple calls. A multiple-call hand-off problem exists as platforms move across a cell boundary. Some recent works have studied the multiple-call hand-off problem. We extend the earlier work by considering the system providing two separate queues for both new and hand-off calls. We analyze the system by means of continuous-time Markov chain approach. The performance measures obtained include the blocking probability of new call, and the terminating probability of hand-off call.<
