In this paper, we propose and analyze two adaptive channel allocation schemes for supporting multimedia traffics in hierarchical cellular systems. It is guaranteed to satisfy the required quality of service of multimedia traffics according to their characteristics such as a mobile velocity for voice calls and a delay tolerance for multimedia calls. In the scheme 1, only slow-speed voice calls are allowed to overflow from macrocell to microcell and only adaptive multimedia calls can overflow from microcell to macrocell after reducing its bandwidth to the minimum channel bandwidth. In the scheme II, in addition to the first scheme, non-adaptive multimedia calls can occupy the required channel bandwidth through reducing the channel bandwidth of adaptive multimedia calls. The proposed scheme I is analyzed using 2-dimensional Markov model. Through computer simulations, the analysis model and the proposed schemes are compared with the fixed system and two previous studies. In the simulation result, it is shown that the proposed schemes yield a significant improvement in terms of the forced termination probability of handoff calls and the efficiency of channel usage.

본 논문에서는 계층셀 시스템에서 이동단말의 속도에 따른 채널 할당 기법이 갖는 QoS 차이를 극복하기 위하여 두가지 핸드오프 우선 순위 기법을 제안한다. 첫 번째 기법은 매크로셀에 고속 핸드오프 호를 위한 전용채널을 할당하여 고속 단말의 핸드오프 강제 종료율을 낮추어 줌으로써 서로 다른 속도 그룹에 속한 단말들에게 동일한 서비스 품질을 유지할 수 있도록 한다. 두 번째 제안하는 기법에서는 시스템 내 트래픽 양의 증가시에 발생하는 핸드오프 호의 성능 저하를 방지하기 위하여 마이크로셀 경계에 핸드오프 호를 위한 큐를 도입한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 핸드오프 호 강제 종료율에 있어서 높은 성능 개선을 보이며 특히 저속 단말에 준하는 수준으로 고속 단말의 QoS를 보장하였다. 또한 오버플로우 대 테이크백 비율(the ratio of take-back to overflow)을 고려할 때 기존 방식에 비하여 제안하는 방식에서 보다 많은 호가 올바른 셀 계층에서 진행하게 되어 전체 시스템의 효율을 높이는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we proposed separate queue scheme in each hierarchical cell for effective use of wireless channel. This method reduces the blocking rata of high speed mobile station's handoff in hierarchical cellular systems. Basically for the high speed mobile stations channels are allocated in macrocell and for the low speed mobile stations channels are allocated in microcell. In order to reduce the rate of forced handoff termination, some reservation channels are employed for the fast handoff calls in the macrocells. And the queue is located in each cell to be able to store handoff requests and takeback requests. The overflowed mobile station are able to perform takeback as soon as a corresponding channel is available.
