Abstract

This paper presents a simulation environment for mobile cellular networks called CELSA, which implements a mobility model based on users, regions and time period characteristics. This environment was used to obtain quality of service (QoS) parameters of a mobile cellular network and to evaluate the performance of a non-uniform channel allocation scheme called CA-STV compared to fixed and dynamic channel allocation
