By means of a simulation programme comparisons were made between different channel allocation schemes and handover criteria in case of uniformly and nonuniformly distributed traffic. These comparisons were, performed in a typical macrocellular environment. Output parameters included statistical C/I distribution, handover rates and carried traffic. The authors present the main functional and architectural features of the new simulation programme which will allow performance evaluations and comparisons of different spectrum management and channel allocation policies even in a more complex environment such as UMTS (universal mobile telecommunication system) is. >
