User Based Call Admission Control Policies for Cellular Mobile Systems: A Survey I

Abstract

Call admission in the mobile cellular networks became a high priority in network design and research due to the rapid growth of popularity of the wireless networks. A large number of various call admission policies have been proposed mobile cellular networks. However, despite years of research efforts, the call admission problem remains a critical issue and a high priority, especially given the perspectives of continually growing speed and size of future wireless networks. It is often difficult to characterize and compare various features among different policies. A good and detailed classification helps researches and engineers to understand the similarities and the differences among various schemes and decide which techniques are best suited for particular use. This paper proposes a new classification for call admission policies in mobile cellular networks. The proposed classification not only provides a coherent framework for comparative studies of existing approaches, but also helps in future researches and developments of new call admission policies.
