Modelling cell residence time of mobile terminals in cellular radio systems
S. Kourtis, Rahim Tafazolli · Electronics Letters · 2002
A new model for the cell residence time is proposed. This is summarised as: the cell residence time follows a two-component distribution consisting of an exponential and a generalised gamma distribution describing the effects of the shadowing and the mobility characteristics, respectively; also new call and handed-over call distributions must be treated separately and must not be related through the excess life theorem.
