Summary:
The statistics of random sum is studied and used to evaluate performance metrics in wireless networks. Pertinent wireless network performance measures such as call completion/dropping probabilities and the average number of handovers usually require the probability distributions of the cell dwell time and call holding time; and are therefore not easy to evaluate. The proposed performance evaluation technique requires the moments of the cell dwell time and is given in terms of the Laplace transform function of the call holding time. Multimedia services that have Weibull and generalized gamma distributed call holding times are investigated. The proposed approximation method uses the compound geometric random sum distribution and requires that the geometric parameter be very small. For applications in which this parameter is not sufficiently small, a result is derived that improves the accuracy (to order of the geometric parameter) of the performance measures evaluated.
