A flexible dynamic traffic model for reverse link CDMA cellular networks

In this paper, we focus on the reverse link traffic analysis of a code-division multiple-access (CDMA) cellular network in dynamic environments. In this respect, we propose a new and flexible traffic model, which takes into account the interference-limitedness attribute of CDMA capacity as well as its soft-handoff feature. This new traffic model is developed according to an interference-based call admission control (ICAC) method and a geographical structure with three regions. The main advantage of this traffic model is in its flexibility when we consider different traffic conditions including time-varying status of traffic in the neighboring cells.
