Abstract

A load sharing facility, which enables subscribers in a mobile telephone system to look for free radio channels in more than one cell, is investigated with respect to blocking probability and channel utilization. Results show that a substantial improvement, compared to other channel allocation techniques, can be achieved. The positive effects are especially notable for an asymmetric traffic situation. The improvement is accomplished at the expense of an increased risk of cochannel interference between mobiles
