Integrating Quality of Service, Call Admission Control and Pricing for User Classes in Next Generation Wireless Networks
Main Article Content
Abstract
Call Admission Control (CAC) is a challenging problem in Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWN) the objective of which is to guarantee the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements while taking into account the limited number of channels available. CAC plays a very important role in NGWN as it directly controls the number of users in the network and hence must be carefully designed to guarantee the QoS requirements. As wireless resources are scarce, we propose to add pricing as an additional dimension for CAC and QoS inorder to use the scarce resources of the wireless networks in an optimal way.
