Abstract: | Buffers are used to overcome the data losses due to the interruption of data transmission when a mobile station is handed over in a cellular network. Data traffic from a wireline network to its mobile data terminal, such as access to large commercial databases or data transmission from a main computer to its remote mobile terminal, is studied. Compound Poisson (CP) is used to approximate the arrival process of the data traffic, and a modulated D (MD) distribution is used to approximate the service and handover process. The performance of the queueing model CP/MD/1/N is analyzed. Probability generating functions and characteristic functions are used to evaluate the mean queue length and the mean burst delay for an infinite buffer system and the overflow probabilities versus the buffer size for a finite buffer system. A method is presented to find the probability transition matrix entries by recursively taking derivatives of the probability generating function of the number of the characters arriving during the service-time. The queue length distributions for a finite buffer, both at departure instants and at arbitrary time instants are derived. Comparison with simulation indicates that the model is accurate. The numerical results of the model confirm the effectiveness of the scheme |
