Analytical bounds on quality of service for an indoor personal communication system with general distributed handoff traffic and dynamic channel allocation

In this paper, we propose an indoor mobility model consisting of asymmetric pico-cells for a typical personal communication system. Cell-wise mobility characteristics and the overall mobility characteristic of the system are obtained. The proposed model utilises Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA) for effective load balancing and General distributed handoff traffic for accurate Quality of Service (QoS) estimates. Various QoS parameters have been computed for the typical indoor cellular structure. Results are compared with existing classes of models viz. Timid DCA, Aggressive DCA and Fixed Channel Allocation (FCA), which does not use load balancing. The proposed model is useful in designing indoor cellular system as it allocates channel resources effectively with fairly accurate QoS estimates.
