Abstract
We consider cellular mobile systems where in order to limit hand-off blocking probability, admission control is applied to new call requests and capacity is reserved for future handoff attempts. We show that due to this advance reservation the achievable efficiency of the system has an upper bound even if no constraint is specified on the blocking probability of new call requests. As a reference case, we first calculate the efficiency of a system with deterministic advance reservation. Next, we consider systems with statistical reservation and calculate the maximum achievable efficiency, under the set of possible local admission control policies subject to a hard constraint on the probability of call failure due to handoff blocking. We relate this maximum to call and mobility characteristics and show that the achievable efficiency decreases with decreasing cell size and with increasing proportion of multimedia calls, both of which are recognized trends today.
