Abstract
Wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) systems are interference-limited. When a WCDMA system operates at nearly full capacity, admitting a new user may affect the stability of the system. Therefore, the proper call admission control (CAC) is crucial and should balance between quality of service (QoS) requirements for the new user as well as for the existing users and the required high capacity. In this paper, we investigate this trade-off in the uplink direction using a power-based multi-cell admission control (MC-AC) algorithm. Multimedia services are considered with different QoS requirements in this algorithm. Different traffic scenarios are also considered. Simulation results reveal that the proposed MC-AC algorithm has many advantages over single-cell admission control (SC-AC) in terms of the overall stability of the system and the total system throughput.
