Abstract

In this paper priority is assigned to the handover calls over new call attempts and blocked handover calls are placed in a finite storage queue. Total handover forced termination probability is evaluated and a suitable function for the mean service time at each position in the queue is theoretically estimated. Quality of service is obtained by introducing a threshold in the maximum waiting time of a handover call in the queue. In case the handover call mean service time at each queue position is found to be greater than this threshold, this call will be blocked. Simulation results show that this scheme provides satisfactory results for both types of calls.
