Teletraffic aspects of evolving and next-generation wireless communication networks

The design of cellular and microcellular networks is being influenced or changed by the continuous growth in number of subscribers and traffic volume in mobile telecommunications. The author discusses some important aspects of next-generation wireless networks with their implications for teletraffic. Simple models for homogeneous systems, to serve as approximate solutions, are presented. The author addresses some issues relevant to heterogeneous systems and briefly discuss typical approaches when possible. The reader is presented with a number of references to present and past work in the area.
