Abstract :
The paper presents an analysis of teletraffic variables in cellular networks. The variables studied are the time between two consecutive handoff arrivals and the handoff delay. These teletraffic variables are characterized by means of an advanced software simulator that models several scenarios assuming fixed channel allocation. Information about the quality of service is also provided. A large set of scenarios has been simulated and the characterization results derived from its study have been presented and analyzed.
