Abstract

This paper analyses an alternative traffic queuing model for the quality of service (QoS) optimization in mobile communications systems. According to the proposed model, the queue of handover attempts is separated to each of the used transceivers of a base transceiver station that covers a particular area. Fixed channel assignment and TDMA are considered, while the proposed technique is compared to the classic queuing model. The comparison results show that the QoS of the proposed model is fully optimized, especially if large queue sizes are chosen.
