A framework of combining mobility management and connection admission control in wireless cellular networks

Abstract

Connection admission control (CAC) and mobility management in cellular networks are solved separately in previous work. This paper presents a framework to solve these two problems together to get more effective solutions to both. The key component of this framework is a common mobility prediction scheme, which can be used in both locating/paging mobiles and making admission decisions. A novel CAC scheme is proposed based on user mobility prediction. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by simulations.
