Abstract:
A fundamental requirement for any cellular system is the possibility for the device to request a connection setup, commonly referred to as random access procedure. In Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, the distribution of a limited number of radio resources among Human-to-Human (H2H) users and increasing number of Machine-Type-Communication (MTC) devices in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications is one of the main problems. An analytical model is conducted to compute the throughput for message 1 and message 2 using a Markov chain model for the four messages signaling flow with buffering for message 4 in LTE Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) random access. The network performance will be enhanced by determining a dedicated arrival rate corresponding to maximum throughput of message 2 that will assist the network planner to optimize the network performance.
