Abstract

A computer simulation tool for evaluating the speech traffic handling capability of digital cordless telecommunications systems has been developed. The focus of the paper lies on the teletraffic engineering problems posed by time division multiple access (TDMA) systems operating with time division duplex (TDD) on one radio transceiver in radio environments. The impacts of fixed station separation, fixed station capacity, spatial traffic variability, dynamic channel assignment, microdiversity, and propagation model on the system capacity are investigated. The simulator serves as an invaluable tool for conducting sensitivity studies and its outputs provide useful insights on traffic performance of digital cordless systems
