Abstract:
An approximate analytical model to analyse the performance of the handover process in cellular networks is proposed, where new and handover calls that arrive when insufficient free resources are available are queued instead of being lost. The approximation is based on the aggregation of states of the double infinite continuous-time Markov chain that models the system, and exhibits an excellent accuracy and low computational cost. The approximate model might be of interest to the next-generation of 5G mobile networks that must be engineered to achieve high QoS and extremely low latencies.
