Abstract :
In this paper the impact of mobility factors, namely cell size and mobile velocity on the probability of blocking of originations and handoffs in linear cellular arrays (such as highways) is investigated. A model for fixed velocity mobiles is created. It is shown that compared with the non-mobile case (stationary stations), mobility factors such as cell size, call holding time, number of channels, and velocity of mobiles may have considerable impact on the probability of blocking of originations and handoffs. A fixed point method for the analysis of probability of blocking is presented. Results are compared with simulation
