    Cell Size in Hybrid Wireless Systems
    (1999) ElBatt, Tamer A.; Ephremides, Anthony; Ephremides, Anthony; ISR; CSHCN
    In this paper we study, analytically and via simulation, the impact ofreducing the cell size of a wireless system on the system capacity andhand-off failure rate. First, we focus on a pure cellular system. Wedevelop exact and approximate models for cellular systems in order toemphasize the blocking probability/forced termination probabilitytrade-off. This trade-off motivates the problem of optimizing the systemperformance with respect to the cell size. For hybrid systems, weinvestigate how jointly optimizing the number of cells per spot-beam, andthe bandwidth partitioning could improve the QoS parameters of interest.For both systems, the numerical solution is only feasible for smallnumber of cells. For large systems, a simulation study is presented.

    Frequency Reuse Impact on the Optimum Channel Allocation for a Hybrid Mobile System
    (1999) ElBatt, Tamer A.; Ephremides, Anthony; Ephremides, Anthony; ISR; CSHCN
    In this paper we study the effect of the frequency reuse constraints inboth layers on the optimum channel allocation for a multi-cell/multi-spot-beam hybrid system. We adopt a specific multi-faceted cost function thatincorporates call-dropping due to unsuccessful hand-off attempts, andblocking of new calls. The minimization of the cost function is attemptedby choosing the optimal split of the total number of channels betweenthe cellular and the satellite layers. This complex optimization problemis solved by means of standard clock simulation techniques along with theadaptive partitioned random search global optimization technique and theordinal optimization approach.
