User profile-driven resource allocation for cellular networks

This paper describes a simple method for enhancing the quality of service (QoS) accorded to customers of cellular networks. User mobility profiles of customers are created and maintained based on prior use at the mobile switching centers (MSC). Network resources like cellular channels and bandwidth are preferentially allocated to priority customers. At the same time, regular users of the network are treated fairly. A profile based resource allocation algorithm is described. Simulation results demonstrate the resulting improved QoS like reduced handoff failures to priority users while ensuring good QoS to other customers.
