Abstract

The third generation of mobile communication aims to transmit not only voice and text but also videos and multimedia data. Furthermore, in the future it is expected to involve web browsing, file transfer, and database access. This requires wireless cellular networks to efficiently support packet data traffic. Therefore, challenge in the design of wireless networks is to support both voice and packet data service of traffic with different QoS-parameters. On the other hand one aspect of this challenge is to develop an efficient scheme for assigning resources to new arriving calls or handoff of different traffic types. Since the blocking probability is one of the most important QoS- parameters, the QoS of wireless cellular networks are often measured in terms of two probabilities, the first is the new call blocking probability that a new call cannot be satisfied because of the unavailability of a proper free channel, and the second is the handoff blocking probability that a proper free channel is not available when a mobile station (MS) wants to move into a neighboring cell. To meet this aspect of the challenge, this proposal proposes a new assignment scheme based on intelligent methodologies to utilize frequency spectrum efficiently and to reduce call blocking probabilities.
