Traffic behaviour in circular and linear cellular arrays is investigated. A model for fixed velocity mobiles is introduced. It is shown that the cellular network traffic is independent of the number of cells in the circular array case and that, compared with non‐mobility in both linear and circular arrays, mobility factors such as cell size, call holding time and velocity of mobiles have considerable impact on probabilities of call blocking. As a result, the notion of ‘equivalent mobility traffic’ is introduced and its behaviour is investigated. A fixed point method for the analysis of probability of blocking is presented. Results are compared with simulations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
