Abstract

A throughput-maximization call admission control (CAC) policy is proposed for CDMA beamforming systems in which the QoS requirements in both physical and network layers can be guaranteed. While the existing cross-layer CAC policies rely on a separate reduced-outage-probability (ROP) algorithm to guarantee the physical layer QoS requirement, which adds to system complexity and reduces spectral efficiency, the proposed CAC policy can maintain arbitrary outage probability constraints as well as all the other QoS requirements without the aid of any ROP algorithm. The optimal CAC policy, obtained by formulating a constrained semi-Markov decision process (SMDP), is able to optimize the overall system throughput across different layers. Numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed policy is capable of achieving a significant performance gain, in terms of lowered blocking and outage probabilities as well as increased system throughput.
