Abstract

Call admission protocols play a central role in determining both the performance of any network, and the revenue of the network. The call admission protocol must decide either to accept the call or reject it. An adaptive call admission control algorithm is proposed here. Mobility management and bandwidth management are two major research issues in a cellular mobile network. Mobility management consists of two basic components: location management and handoff management. To Provide QoS to the users Handoff is a key element in wireless cellular networks. It is often initiated either by crossing a cell boundary or by deterioration in the quality of signal in the current channel. In this paper, a new admission control policy for cellular mobile network is being proposed. Two important QoS parameter in cellular networks are Call Dropping Probability (CDP) and Handoff Dropping Probability (HDP). CDP represents the probability that a call is dropped due to a handoff failure. HDP represents the probability of a handoff failure due to insufficient available resources in the target cell. Most of the algorithms try to limit the HDP to some target maximum but not CDP. In this paper, we show that when HDP is controlled, the CDP is also controlled to a minimum extent while maintaining lower blocking rates for new calls in the system.
