Abstract :
The author presents a theoretical performance analysis of the cellular control channel with an estimation of its effective capacity. Both forward and reverse control channels (FOCC & RECC) are examined in the presence of interference and Rayleigh fading and prediction equations are developed. It is shown that the control channel capacity is a function of carrier-interference ratio and Rayleigh fading. The RECC capacity varies between 11880/hr (3.3/sec) to a maximum of 23256/hr (6.46/sec). The number of page originations over FOCC varies between 52920/hr (14.7/sec) and 69264/hr (19.24 /sec). The analysis concludes that, as the system traffic grows with the advent of the TDMA technique, a single control channel/OMNI cell would be overloaded, affecting services to many cellular subscribers. A separate control channel would be needed to mitigate this problem
