Abstract
In this paper, discrete event simulation by batch-means of a M/M/∞ queuing system is utilised to simulate a cellular CDMA system. The details of the simulation model, warm-up period, and simulation run time are discussed. The warm-up period is studied because it affects the accuracy of the results in simulation of communication systems. During the warm-up period-when the simulation system has not reached the steady-state situation-, the system results (eg blocking probability) vary very rapidly from zero to 0.037 for the parameters used. In the batch-means method with 10,000 calls per batch and for 50 batches (500,000 calls), the CDMA blocking probability is 0.0192 with 99% confidence interval.
