A performance study of CDPD

Abstract

Cellular digital packet data (CDPD) is a wireless extension to data networks, which utilizes the idle capacity (radio channels) of cellular systems. This paper studies the performance of the CDPD system to investigate how the CDPD traffic and the voice traffic affect the CDPD blocking probability. The results offer guidelines for the CDPD network planning. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
