State Transition Analysis of Time-Frequency Resource Conversion-based Call Admission Control for LTE-Type Cellular Network (1312.0333v1)

Abstract: To address network congestion stemmed from traffic generated by advanced user equipments, in [1] we propose a novel network resource allocation strategy, time-frequency resource conversion (TFRC), via exploiting user behavior, a specific kind of context information. Considering an LTE-type cellular network, a call admission control policy called double-threshold guard channel policy is proposed there to facilitate the implementation of TFRC. In this report, we present state transition analysis of this TFRC-based call admission control policy for an LTE-type cellular network. Overall, there are five categories of events that can trigger a transition of the system state: 1) a new call arrival; 2) a handoff user arrival; 3) a handoff user departure; 4) a call termination; and 5) a periodic time-frequency resource conversion. We analyze them case by case in this report and the validation of the analysis has been provided in [1].
