Abstract

This letter presents an analytical framework of the cell stay time (CST) in wireless LAN environment. CST is an important parameter that can be used to estimate how long a mobile user will stay in a particular cell and how many cells he will probably visit during his call holding time. CST can be also used to make predictive advanced reservations. A probability density function (p.d.f.) of the CST is obtained and an analytical expression of its main parameters such as the average and standard deviation values is outlined as a function of the average mobile user speed and cell radius
