Abstract

The proliferation of mobile, portable and personal communication systems will bring a variety of offered services. Practical systems must support different types of calls. These may include voice only, mixed voice and data, high speed data, low speed data, and image transmission. In addition there may be a mixture of platforms (such as persons, autos, and buses) having a range of mobility characteristics. In such environments, the bandwidth and/or resources needed for call sessions will not be identical. As a result, calls will generally encounter different blocking and hand-off constraints. These effects are in addition to differences in blocking and forced (call) termination probabilities that are attributable to differing platform mobilities and (resource) channel quotas
