| Abstract: | In this paper, we focus on the evaluation of the Erlang capacity for hybrid FDMA/CDMA systems supporting multi-class services with two channel allocation schemes: independent carrier channel assignment (ICCA) and combined carrier channel assignment (CCCA). For the performance analysis, a multi-dimensional Markov chain model is developed. The effect of the number of carriers of hybrid FDMA/CDMA system on the Erlang capacity is observed, and the optimum values of the system parameters such as the number of channel elements (CEs) and the number of carriers are selected with respect to the Erlang capacity. As a numerical example, we consider an FDMA/CDMA system supporting voice/data services. We find out that, even though the benefit of CCCA scheme over ICCA scheme is negligible for small number of CEs, the scenario changes significantly when the number of CEs increases beyond a certain point. An improvement of as much as 74% can be achieved in the Erlang capacity when 5 carriers are employed. We also find the capacity knees for different number of carriers. The results of this paper could be helpful in the traffic engineering of FDMA/CDMA systems providing multi-class services. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
