PRIORITY TRAFFIC IN WIRELESS PCS SYSTEMS: TRANSMISSION AND TRAFFIC PARAMETERS TRADE-OFF,

We have investigated a possible technique for efficiently handling the reverse link (mobile-to-base) traffic inside a cell of a wireless PCS system, assigning different priority classes to new calls and hand-offs. For the corresponding queueing scheme we have determined those traffic quantities which more directly interact with the design of the transmission system. Further, we have targeted the issue of tying the engineering of both CDMA and TDMA systems to traffic constraints. To this regard we have quantitatively demonstrated how deeply and differently the traffic parameters of the examined queueing scheme influence the capacity determination for these two systems
