Abstract
In cellular networks, forced call terminations due to handoff call blocking are generally more objectionable than new call blocking. In order to maintain an acceptable call dropping probability rate, we propose, in this paper, two new guard channel schemes: an adaptive one – New Adaptive Channel Reservation (NACR) – and a dynamic one – Predictive Reservation Policy (PRP). In NACR, for a given period of time, a given number of channels is guarded in each cell for handoff traffic. In PRP, the number of reserved channels depends on the actual number of calls in progress in the neighboring cells. An approximate analytical model of NACR is presented. A Tabu search method has been implemented in order to optimize the Grade of Service. Discrete event simulations of PRP and NACR were run. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is emphasized on a complex configuration.
