Abstract :
This paper presents a realistic characterization of the channel holding time in an operating GSM network covering an urban area. Our approach is entirely statistical: the data set to be fitted has been provided by the OMC (operations and maintenance center). The Kolmogorov Smirnov goodness of fit test is used in order to test the suitability of the exhibited distribution. From this statistical analysis, it can be concluded that the negative exponential distribution is a good approximation for describing the channel holding time.
