Mobile ATM Bu er Capacity Analysis Stephen

This paper extends a stochastic theory for bu er ll distribution for multiple \on" and \o " sources to a mobile environment. Queue ll distribution is described by a set of di erential equations assuming sources alternate asynchronously between exponentially distributed periods in \on" and \o " states. This paper includes the probabilities that mobile sources have links to a given queue. The sources represent mobile user nodes, and the queue represents the capacity of a switch. This paper presents a method of analysis which uses mobile parameters such as speed, call rates per unit area, cell area, and call duration and determines queue ll distribution at the ATM cell level. The analytic results are compared with simulation results.
