Abstract

The capacity of the Cellular Packet Switch (CPS), proposed as a distributed switching architecture capable of handling the increasing needs of high-density personal communication systems (PCSs), is calculated. Capacity is measured with four different metrics. Results quantify the effect of set-up procedures, handovers, and registrations for systems using a single CPS. Clusters of CPSs with each CPS connected to each of its neigbors are considered. Numerical examples based on International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR) estimates of traffic are used to illustrate the procedures. The author describes how MAN bandwidth gets divided between user and signaling information
