Summary: 
This paper proposes Channel Reservation for Ahead Cells (CRAC)" scheme for street micro-cellular systems. The scheme enables mobiles to reserve the same channel over several cells at once. This paper analyzes both CRAC and FCA (Fixed Channel Assignment) in a ring-shaped service area where high speed mobiles and low speed mobiles move. In the analysis, the priority control which prioritizes hand-off calls and reservation calls over new calls over new calls is also taken into account. Obtained results include the blocking rate, the forced call termination rate, the average number of channel changings and the system utilization. From numerical results, CRAC is found to perform better than FCA with regard to the average number of channel changings and the forced call termination rate.
