Cell Dwell Time and Channel Holding Time Relationship in Mobile Cellular Networks

Channel holding time (CHT) is of paramount importance for the analysis and performance evaluation of mobile cellular networks. This time variable allows one to derive other key system parameters such as channel occupancy time, new call blocking probability, and handoff call dropping probability. CHT depends on cellular shape, cell size, user’s mobility patterns, used handoff scheme, and traffic flow characteristics. Traffic flow characteristics are associated with unencumbered service time (UST), while the overall effects of cellular shape, users’ mobility, and handoff scheme are related to cell dwell time (CDT).
