Abstract
This dissertation is focused on multi-service and direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) wireless cellular systems.
The reverse link performance of a slotted DS/CDMA cellular system with multi-service traffic is analyzed. Services with/without packet retransmission to meet their Quality of Service, share the entire bandwidth. Packet failure probabilities and packet delay are obtained based on analyzing the mutual interaction among services. The impacts of power level allocation and power control error of services on capacity, throughput and delay are analyzed under given Quality of Service. The system capacity is maximized by appropriate power allocation. The impact of power control error on capacity is dependent on whether packet retransmission is allowed or not.
Admission control policies for multi-service systems are proposed and analyzed. Both nonprioritized and prioritized admission control are studied. Services difference in terms of resource requirement and degree of importance are considered. Analytical models are developed. Blocking probability of each type of calls are found under given amount of traffic. Fair access by soft capacity is addressed. The cost of protecting certain type(s) of calls on the rest of calls is investigated. The impact of traffic distribution on the performance of the policies is also examined.
In a hierarchical cellular system, user mobility estimation helps channel assignment so as to reduce the handoff rate and avoid high mobility users travel among small cells. Two different strategies are compared. It is found that when high mobility users are served by overlay macrocells, call drop rate is reduced. Speed estimation error only has limited impact on the system performance. User membership in a cellular CDMA network is simulated based on the estimation of the local mean value of the pilot signal from surrounding base stations. The base station providing strongest pilot local mean controls the mobile station. Simulation is conducted under different fading environments. Two performance measurements are simulated: the number of membership switchings per second and the probability of wrong base station selection. An optimum window length for filtering out Rayleigh fading is found. Simulation results are in good fit with those of analysis.
