A two agent based structure for hard handover analysis using dynamic channel allocation

摘要

The mobility of the users in a cellular mobile environment is involving the use of the radio resources. The main aspect, which characterizes this attribute, is the hard handover and this must be carried out without blocking the existing calls of the static positioned users. Combining the two sets of users, namely static positioned users and mobile users, the resulting system must be able to manage the conflict situations, resulting in a minimum blocking probability, achieved with a centralized structure, or a distributed structure. Our work is introducing a minimal distributed structure that can be used to analyze the behavior of a cellular mobile system, based on the agents technology. The structure includes two agents and each of them implements the entire operations specific to a dynamic channel allocation scheme, into a cell. The third agent is added in order to manage the eventual hard handovers requests. This three agent minimal structure can be then multiplied in order to extend to, to simulate and to analyze various real conditions.
