Abstract

The paper presents a new simple analytical method for a determination of the blocking probability in a full-availability group carrying a mixture of different multi-rate traffic classes with the compression property. The proposed model can be directly used for modelling of the Iub interface in the UMTS network servicing the Release 99 and HSDPA traffic classes. The described model can be applied for the validation of the efficiency of the Iub interface measured by the blocking probability and the average carried traffic for particular traffic classes.
