Abstract

In wireless cellular networks, performance evaluation is an important part in modeling and designing effective schemes to utilize the limited resource. In the past, performance evaluation was carried out either under restricted assumption on some time variables such as exponential assumption or via simulations. In this paper, we present a survey on a new analytical approach we have developed in the last few years to evaluate the performance of wireless cellular networks under more realistic assumptions. In particular, we apply this approach to the analysis of call connection performance and mobility management under assumptions that many time variables such as call holding time, cell residence time, channel holding time, registration area (RA) residence time, and inter-service time are assumed to be generally distributed and show how we can obtain more general analytical results.
