Abstract :
In this letter, we derive an algebraic set of equations that examines the relationships between the cell residence times and the handoff call´s channel holding time. When the cell residence times have an Erlang or Hyper-Erlang distribution, the channel holding times can be represented by a Coxian model. An algorithm is presented to compute the parameters of the equivalent Coxian model. The analytical models proposed in this letter provide a flexible framework for further studies into the optimization and performance evaluation aspects of teletraffic mobile systems.
