Abstract

A new “quality of service” (QoS) measure called rms excessive blocking, denoted as EB(2), is proposed as a composite measure of the blocking rate and the cell-to-cell variation of blocking rates. EB(2) belongs to a class of measures EB(p),p⩾1, which is unbiased, makes reference to the QoS requirement, is one-sided, and takes on the form of a penalty function. The effectiveness of this rms excessive blocking measure is compared to the conventional mean plus a standard deviation type of measure and evaluated on two efficient dynamic channel-assignment strategies, namely, borrowing with directional channel-locking strategy and compact-pattern (CP)-based dynamic channel assignment (DCA),
