Model of the k-cast connections in mobile networks

In this paper a new analytical method of blocking probability calculation in multi-service cellular systems with k-cast connections is proposed. The discussed method is based on the full-availability group servicing PCT1 and PCT2 multirate traffic streams and the fixed-point methodology. The results of the analytical calculations were compared with the results of the simulation experiments, which confirmed the accuracy of the proposed method. The proposed scheme can be applicable for a cost-effective resource management in the UMTS mobile networks and can be easily applied to network capacity calculations.
