Abstract :
We propose dynamic channel allocation schemes, which employ techniques such as channel reservation, service priority and queueing strategies (with or without threshold control) etc. Using these techniques allows system designers to differentiate quality of service (QoS) requirements (e.g., new call blocking/handoff forced termination probability and delay) required by different types of service. Via the simulation approach, the improvements offered by different strategies under different parameter sets and different network situations are investigated. The results obtained in this paper provide system designers guidelines of how to provide an excellent channel allocation scheme and how to choose suitable parameters in the integrated GSM and GPRS system.
