Uplink Blocking Probability Calculation for Cellular Systems with WCDMA Radio Interface, Finite Source Population and Differently Loaded Neighbouring Cells

Abstract

This paper presents the uplink blocking probability calculation method in cellular systems with WCDMA radio interface, finite source population and differently loaded neighbouring cells. The method is based on the model of the full availability group with multi-rate traffic streams. A fixed point methodology has been used in the proposed method. The proposed scheme could be utilized for cost-effective radio resource management in 3G mobile networks and can be easily applied to network capacity calculations.
