A simplified performance evaluation for delay of voice end-user in TDMA integrated voice/data cellular mobile communications systems

Major types of data for multimedia with mobile communications are voice, WWW and FTP. Different regimes for quality of service (QoS) exist for each with reference to delay sensitivity. Sharing available radio resource has been inherently based on the characteristics of data types and their associated QoSs. To satisfy each QoSs, the Delay of Voice End-User (DOVE) protocol has been presented. However, when evaluating the performance of DOVE protocol, there was one problem which requires much calculation time. In this paper, introducing the steady state equations for the Markov chain of DOVE protocol and solving them, we present a simplified method for evaluating the performance of DOVE protocol. The proposed method can be carried out in a less computer time.
