In this paper some models for obtaining the distribution of a sojourn time in CDMA cellular systems are proposed. Knowledge on this is essential for reliable modeling of the soft handoff and for solving other related problems in the analysis of cellular system. The proposed model is based on random walk and can be adopted to different conditions. Analytical results can be obtained that lead to a quite complicated numerical scheme so simulation models are used for Monte Carlo experiments. Main assumptions include different kinds of mobile carriers (pedestrians and transport passengers) and round shape of a cell. The scheme for simulation experiments is presented along with the discussion of simulation results.

Fourth-generation (4G) wireless networks will be the IP-based cellular networks integrating Internet with the existing cellular networks. Two important issues should be concerned in the IP-based cellular networks, IP mobility, and quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees. In this paper, we proposed two mechanisms to solve the problems with IP mobility and RSVP-based QoS provisioning. First, virtual-IP (VIP) allocation scheme in areas with a large rate of handoff can minimize the wireless signaling overhead due to IP mobility. The access routers (ARs) create dynamically the VIP zone by using the measured handoff rate derived from the history of the handoff into neighboring ARs. We show that VIP allocation scheme reduces the binding update messages in the wireless link than hierarchical mobile IPv6. Second, the new advance resource reservation protocol called proportional aggregate RSVP (PA-RSVP) can minimize waste of bandwidth and soft state refresh overhead due to IP mobility. It allocates the bandwidth in advance between the mobility anchor point and neighboring ARs using proportional aggregate reservation. We also show that PA-RSVP provides an improved performance over existing protocols.
