This paper is concerned with the influences of enlarging or shrinking the soft handoff
coverage on the new-call blocking and the handoff-call dropping probabilities in a
cellular CDMA system. In the proposed analytic model, we assume a cell is in hexagonal
shape with two parameters, a and b, representing the soft handoff region between the
outer and the inner cell. In the traffic model, we assume mobile stations are uniformly
distributed over the service area and the new-call generation rate per unit area is a Poisson
process. Enlarging the soft handoff region may significantly increase the blocking
and the dropping probabilities, while shrinking the soft handoff region can reduce the
two probabilities slightly. The effect of activating a call admission control is also discussed.
As new-call generation rate per unit area is small, reserving 40% of code channels
for handoff calls can reduce the handoff-call dropping probability from 10-4 to 10-8,
while the new-call blocking probability is increased form 10-3 to 10-1. Finally, the analytical
model is compared with a previous work and a simulation is performed to validate
the accuracy of our proposed model.
