Abstract
Mobility of users in a cellular mobile communication system has been formulated mathematically under generalized conditions. Based on this model a computer simulation has been developed. This mobility model is used to examine cell residence time distribution in cellular environments defined by different cell sizes and mobility parameters. It is shown that cell residence time can be described by the generalized gamma distribution.
