Drop Call Probability in Established Cellular Networks: from data Analysis to Modelling

Abstract

Abstract-The ever increase of advanced services offered by modern cellular networks require stringent Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee, obtained as the typical result of many optimization procedures. In this paper the phenomenon of dropped calls, one of the most important indices of QoS in a large scale well-established cellular network, has been analyzed. We verified from measured data traffic that, in a well-established cellular network, models available in literature are useless to pursue the objective of service optimization: many phenomena, neglected till now, heavily influence the call termination. To relate the drop call probability to these phenomena, an original analytical model has been developed. The obtained results, validated by experimental measures taken from a real network, can allow the network operator to optimize system performance improving the offered Quality of Service and their revenue.

Call-Level Performance Sensitivity in Cellular Networks

“…In a well-established cellular network and from the call forced termination point of view, handoff call blocking can be usually a negligible event (Boggia et al, 2005). Thus, the main cause of call forced termination is due to the unreliable nature of the wireless communication channel 2 (Boggia et al, 2005).…”

An integrated approach to solving retrial queue complexity

“…Thus subscribers are unsatisfied with the quality of service (QoS) rendered by the network operator. Customer satisfaction can only be achieved if standard QoS is maintained at the network [1,3,4]. QoS comprise the speech quality as well as the availability and reliability of service within a given coverage area.…”
