Abstract
The cellular-communication systems of the future will be required to provide multimedia services to users moving about in a variety of ways. Different forms of motion have different characteristics. The characterization of the different forms of motion and their effects on telecommunications traffic is important in the planning, designs and operation of networks. A characterization of the motion of various platforms (inter-city buses, recreational vehicles, freight trucks, and taxis) based on measurements using Global Positioning System is presented in this paper. The measured characteristics of motion are then used to evaluate teletraffic statistics, such as cell cross-over rate and cell dwell time, by overlaying hypothetical cell systems on the measured loci of vehicles. Self-similarity was discovered in the cell dwell time characteristic of the taxis.
