Abstract

In the planning of modern cellular mobile communication systems, the impact of customer behavior has to be carefully taken into account. Two models dealing with the call retrial phenomenon are presented. The first model considers a base station with a finite customer population and repeated attempts. A Markov chain modeling is proposed, and an efficient recursive solution of the state probabilities is presented. The second model focuses on the use of the guard channel concept to prioritize the handover traffic. Again, the retrial phenomenon plays an important role. The influence of the repeated attempt effect on the quality of service experienced by the mobile customers is discussed by means of numerical results
