Abstract

Prioritized guard channel (PGC) assignment with queue was designed to reduce call dropping probability associated with a base station congested with handover call traffic. The Markov chain was used in the analysis of the PGC scheme and queuing discipline was FIFO for a PGC+MAHO scheme. Simulation was carried out using MATLAB. The results showed that increasing buffer size reduces call dropping probability which becomes discontinuous at some value of traffic arrival rate for each buffer size. It was found out that some queuing parameters such as queue product form becomes undefined at an arrival rate for a large buffer size. This limits the extent to which buffer size can be increased. System computational speed was also a contributory factor.
