Abstract :
Modeling of user traffic and the mobility impact of mobile users onto cellular networks is considered. The quality of service and traffic-handling capacity offered by the network play the most important roles. This article discusses the requirements on a traffic model and on performance design objectives which can be used as a basis for designing and engineering cellular networks. Requirements from actual network operation are discussed and are illustrated by measurement results
