Prioritisation queuing of user services for multi-layer wireless systems
Mahboubeh Lohi, Kambiz Madani · 2002
A novel method for improving the spectrum efficiency of multi-layer cellular systems, by means of prioritisation based on the user mobility behaviour and service application has been proposed. The proposed system is shown to have a higher efficiency over a wider range of offered traffic, in comparison to the conventional FIFO queuing. Computational results suggest that using this new scheme, system capacity for handover voice calls at 2% dropping rate can be improved by as much as 27% compared with FIFO. This benefit came at the expense of some increase in the dropping rate of low priority calls. The improvement in capacity also reduces with service priority.
