Teletraffic approach to design and planning of GSM network employing the hierarchical cell structure

Abstract

Due to increasing user demand and rapid growth of mobile cellular networks, the need for systematic planning methodology of
networks has become essential. This paper presents a simple traffic model of a microcell in a GSM network that employs the
hierarchical cell structure. The analytic model is used to estimate the number of traffic channels to be activated within the
microcells for acceptable performance measures.
