Abstract

The huge amount of handoffs generated by microcells creates a problem for the future PCN. To alleviate the problem, we propose a hierarchical cellular system which comprises cells of different sizes. Ideally, one would like to use large cells to serve high-mobility users. A challenging issue is to obtain a good estimate of the user speed. A simple speed estimation is proposed and based on this estimate one can implement a number of dynamic channel allocation algorithms on such a hierarchical network. A comparative study of these algorithms will be presented based on a detailed simulation model
