Abstract

In this paper, we develop an analytical study of the mobility in cellular networks and its impact on quality of service and outage probability. We first express analytically the downlink other-cell interference factor f by using a fluid model network. It is defined here as the ratio of outer cell received power to the inner cell received power. It allows us to analyze users mobility and to derive expressions of the outage probability. We show that mobility can modify the capacity of a cell and we quantify the outage probability variations. We moreover establish how mobility plays a role in quality of service management. All results are compared to Monte Carlo simulations performed in a traditional hexagonal network.
