There are more information services provided on the wireless networks. Due to long network delay of wireless links, transactions will be long-lived transactions. In such a situation, the occurrence of handoff is inevitable, and thus a wireless link by a mobile unit crossing cell boundares might be forced to terminate. It is undesirabe that an active transaction is forced to terminate. A queueing scheme fas been proposed to solve the problem of forced termination of transactions in our previous research. However, when 2PL protocol is employed, suspending an active transaction will elongate the lock holding time and thus degrade the system performance. In this paper, we propose two guard channel schemes (GCS), static and dynamic, to reduce the probability of forced termination of transactions. In dynamic GCS, the number of channels reserved in a base station is dynamically assigned according to the number of transaction calls which may handoff to this cell while the number of guard channels is fixed in static GCS. An analytic model based on Markov chain is derived to evaluate the system performance. The correctness of this model is verified by simulation. The experimental results show that a significant improvement is achieved by using the dynamic GCS.
