System Capacity Calculation for Packet-Switched Traffic in the Next Generation Wireless Systems - Batch Arrival M/G/1 Nonpreemptive Priority Queueing Model for Transmission over a Radio Channel

摘要

We propose a method of determining the required system capacity for several service categories of packet-switched traffic for the future development of the third generation (3G) mobile radio systems and systems beyond 3G. Based on the batch arrival M/G/1 nonpreemptive priority queueing model, we calculate the system capacity so as to satisfy the user's requirement for the mean delay of an IP packet. Numerical analysis is given for the sensitivity of the required system capacity to such parameters as the offered traffic, the mean delay requirement, and the mean packet size.
