Abstract
The call admission control (CAC) for mobile communications is one of the most important engineering issues since it belongs to the category of resource management and the radio spectrum is a very scarce resource. In future mobile cellular systems, the CAC scheme should be efficient for multimedia services as well as for voice services. This paper proposes an advanced CAC scheme for mobile multimedia communications. A characteristic of the proposed scheme is that it takes account of the traffic (load) asymmetry between uplink and downlink in mobile multimedia environments, we evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme using Markov analysis. The performance measures on which we focus are the utilization of resources and the blocking probabilities of handoff calls and new calls. We present some numerical examples with practically meaningful parameter values. As a result, we show that the proposed CAC scheme can be a good choice for mobile multimedia systems such as the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 systems.
