Congestion Control Policies for IP-Based CDMA Radio Access Networks
Overview As CDMA-based cellular networks mature, the current point-to-point links used in connecting base stations to network controllers will evolve to an IP-based Radio Access Network (RAN) for reasons of lower cost due to statistical multiplexing gains, better scalability and reliability, and the projected growth in data applications. This paper studies the impact of congestion in a best-effort IP RAN on CDMA cellular voice networks. The paper proposes and evaluates three congestion control mechanisms, admission control, diversity control, and router control, to maximize network capacity while maintaining good voice quality.
