Abstract

Studies the teletraffic issues of the Global System of Mobile Communications at 900 MHz (GSM900), and its sister, the Digital Communication System at 1800 MHz (DCS1800). The teletraffic simulations have the essential elements of GSM900 and DCS1800, but they are not be exact simulations of these two systems. The approach is to site microcellular base stations, using the microcellular prediction tool MIDAS, into a fictitious city and into parts of two real cities. The radio coverage plots are then imported into a teletraffic simulator TELSIM. The simulator is loaded with the basic GSM900 and DCS1800 parameters to give an indication of the teletraffic performance of these systems in the three environments
