Probability of heavy traffic period in third generation CDMA mobile communication

The paper considers a problem of deriving the multidimensional distribution of a segment of a long-range dependent traffic in the third generation mobile communication network. An exact expression for the probability is found when a self-similar process models the traffic. The probability of heavy-traffic period, the outage probability, and the level-crossing probability are found. It is shown that the level crossing probability depends on the average call length only. Further, this probability for traffic with dependent samples is higher than for traffic with independent samples. Also, it is shown that there is a linear dependence between the average heavy traffic interval and the average call length
