An Adaptive Algorithm for Call Admission Control in Wireless Networks

Overview This paper develops an adaptive algorithm for call admission control in wireless networks. The algorithm is built upon the concept of guard channels and it uses an adaptation algorithm to search automatically the optimal number of guard channels to be reserved at each base station. The quality of service parameters used in the study are the new call blocking probability and the handoff call blocking probability. The simulation studies are performed for comparisons of the present algorithm with static guard channel policy.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
