CHANNEL DE-ALLOCATION SCHEMES FOR GSM/GPRS NETWORKS

Several channel de-allocation schemes for GSM/GPRS（General Packet Radio Service） networks are proposed in this paper. For DRA （Dynamical Resource Allocation） with de-allocation mechanism, if a new voice call arrives and finds that all the channels are busy, then one of the GPRS packets which occupy more than one channel for data transmission may release a channel for the new voice call. This paper presents 5 de-allocation mechanisms, i.e. DA-RANDOM, DA-RICHEST, DA-POOREST, DA-OLDEST and DA-YOUNGEST, to select the GPRS packet for releasing the appropriate channel. Simulation results show that DA-OLDEST achieves the best performance, especially in packets blocking probability, among all the de-allocation schemes. Although the performance of the proposed de-allocation schemes is not significantly different, they are all much better than that of the scheme without de-allocation.
