In next generation cellular networks, Quality of Service (QoS) delivery will need more network resources per user, leading to network congestion problems. Call Admission Control (CAC) is the process in charge of managing calls according to the availability of network resources. In order to overcome the problem of network congestion, the CAC should tackle pricing policies, improving by the same way...
In this paper, we proposed a dynamic network pricing scheme, which considers both Call Admission Control (CAC) and Network Congestion Control (NCC), denoted as Contract Binded CAC {CBCAC). CAC calculates the optimal arrival rates and limits the admitted calls at every time. When the network is underlized, all the users are charged for service consumption normally. But if it is congested, they are...
In this paper, we investigate the effects of pricing incentives in order to control the number of users requested access in cellular system. The system has been modeled as continuous time Markov chains with Poisson traffic for both new and handover calls. With mathematical results, formulations have been derived to show the values of new call blocking probability, probability of new calls are given...
Network designers face a challenging problem when trying to control the traffic entered into a wireless cellular network. The reason is the rapidly growing number of multimedia applications, combined with user mobility. Additionally, the existence of multiple cellular providers leads to strong competition among them. Providers need to use efficient resource management schemes in order to keep existing...
In multiservice wireless networks, Call Admission Control (CAC) is essential to assure the quality of service requirements of the supported traffic. Call requests are usually classified into two different types: narrow-band and wide-band calls. In this paper, the probabilistic CAC scheme employed is extended through a game theoretic framework for resource allocation and price bargaining for the required...
In this paper, we propose a Call Admission Control-based dynamic pricing scheme that aims at preventing congestion and maximizing the utilization of broadband wireless access systems. The main aim of our scheme is to provide monetary incentives to users to use the wireless resources efficiently and rationally; hence, allowing efficient bandwidth management at the admission level. By dynamically determining...
While the demand for mobile broadband wireless services continues to increase, radio resources remain scarce. Even with the substantial increase in the supported bandwidth in next generation Broadband Wireless Access Systems (BWASs), it is expected that these systems will severely suffer from congestion due to the rapid increase in demand of bandwidth intensive applications. Without efficient bandwidth...
Next generation wireless networks (NGWN) will be heterogeneous, comprising a number of radio access technologies (RATs) coexisting in the same geographical area. In NGWN, a joint call admission control (JCAC) algorithm is needed to select the most appropriate RAT for each incoming call. The JCAC algorithm must be user-centric (i.e., consider user preferences in making RAT selection decisions) in order...
This paper presents an adaptive scheduling and CAC model for the revenue maximization. The algorithm shares limited resources to different traffic flows in a fair way, and at the same time it maximizes the revenue of the service provider. Used algorithm is derived from the linear type of revenue target function, and closed form globally optimal formula is presented. The method is computationally inexpensive,...
In this paper, we study the relative roles of optimal pricing and call admission control (CAC) in network revenue performance optimization from a network provider's perspective. We consider a multi-class loss network where each traffic class has a differentiated quality of service (QoS), as characterized by a per connection bandwidth, and an associated static charging price which decides the arrival...
In this paper we propose a packet scheduling scheme for ensuring bandwidth as a quality of service (QoS) requirement and optimizing revenue of the network service provider. A closed form formula for updating the weights of a packet scheduler is derived from a revenue-based optimization problem. The weight updating procedure is fast and independent on the assumption of the connections' statistical...
