Mobile Voice Traffic Load Characteristics

Abstract

Knowledge of traffic load evolution in time is essential to properly configure and dimension a mobile network. Moreover, it is a key parameter to indicate the network performance and quality of service. In this paper, we use interarrival time (time between arrivals), waiting time, and service time parameters to investigate outgoing and incoming traffic of an international voice traffic carrier. Both types of traffic are analyzed for the previously mentioned parameters by taking into account short and long-distance international call scenarios. The obtained results follow the expected Poisson and Exponential distributions for these parameters. In addition, the traffic load of neighboring countries shows a long-term stability and consistency.
