Abstract :
An analytical framework which employs a multiple queuing scheme (MQS) for handoff calls in wireless networks is considered. Results show that, MQS and delay-dependent priority queuing (DDPQ) reported in Xhafa and Tonguz (2001) reduce handoff dropping probability by 40% when compared to the first-in-first-out (FIFO) scheme. It is also shown that, if one compares the MQS and DDPQ schemes, MQS achieves lower handoff dropping probability when the percentage of high-mobility handoff call users is greater than 38%
