Abstract
It is well known that, due to the mobility of a portable and limited channel availability, calls of portables may not be completed due to being blocked or terminated during the call initiation or the handover process. The characteristics of the call-completion and call-holding times for both a complete call and an incomplete call are of critical importance for establishing the actual billing process in the PCS network. We derive the call-completion probability (hence, call-dropping probability) and the effective call-holding time distributions for complete/incomplete calls with a general cell-residence time and a general call-holding time are analyzed, and general computable formulas are obtained. We show that when call-holding times are Erlang distributed, easy-to-compute formulas for the probability of a call completion and the expected effective call-holding times for both a complete call and an incomplete call can be derivedKeywords
