Radio Resource Allocation Strategies to Guarantee Data Traffic in Cellular Networks

In this paper, we focus on different strategies of radio resource allocation in cellular mobile networks. The paper proposes two models of ordered allocation of the time slots in a frame (with or without time slots reserved for data traffic) and in such a way that the available resources for an user can be maximized if we take into account the number of consecutive idle time slots. The analytical model is presented and the probabilities of finding any given number of consecutive idle time slots for the different models are shown. The results are presented for three different scenarios, which have two, one or none reserved resources available just for data traffic. For the different scenarios the quality of service requirements of data traffic is compared, without degrading in any case the voice service.
