Admission Control Algorithms for Revenue Optimization With QoS Guarantees in Mobile Wireless Networks

This paper proposes and analyzes call admission control algorithms integrated with pricing for revenue optimization with Quality of Service QoS guarantees to serve multiple service classes in mobile wireless networks. Traditional admission control algorithms make acceptance decisions for new and handoff calls to satisfy certain QoS constraints such as the...

A Case for TCP-Friendly Admission Control

Admission control has been shown to be a preferred alternative to TCP-friendly congestion control for inelastic flows in heterogeneous networks shared by elastic and inelastic traffic. However, it is possible for an inelastic flow to adopt different level of aggressiveness in implementing the admission control. How these different levels of...

An Efficient Admission Control for IEEE 802.11 Networks Based on Throughput Analyses of (Un)saturated Channel

This paper presents a novel analytical model and an efficient admission control algorithm for IEEE 802.11 DCF access mechanism. In contrast to the previous approaches that only analyzed the saturated status of IEEE 802.11 networks, both saturated and unsaturated states of network are analyzed and the impacts of error-frame rate...

Throughput Analysis and Admission Control for IEEE 802.11a

This paper proposes a new Markov model for the Distributed Coordination Function DCF of IEEE 802.11. The model incorporates carrier sense, non-saturated traffic and SNR, for both basic and RTS/CTS access mechanisms. Analysis of the model shows that the throughput first increases, and then decreases with the number of active...

Admission Control and Service Differentiation Based QoS Provisioning for Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Service differentiation is the key to today's Internet QoS. However the assumption of static network topology and stability of links make the direct application of DiffServ in mobile ad hoc networks unfeasible. This paper presents admission control and service differentiation mechanism that works only in network layer and does not...
