Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce a handoff scheme for data mobile cellular radio systems. A steady-stale traffic model is established and an analytical model of the system performance is presented. Average queue length and transmission delay are evaluated. Although mobile users holding channels move from one cell to another, there is almost no packet loss except for the negligibly small blocking probability because a channel request can be transferred from the queue of one base station to another
