| Abstract:
This paper addresses some challenges that face multimedia CDMA wireless
networks. We highlight some problems related to power assignment,
admission control and other radio resource management functions.
At the core of our approach is a novel definition of a universal QoS index.
The proposed QoS vector can easily be defined on a network wide basis and
be negotiated during the call setup phase. Furthermore, we show that
it is possible for radio resource managers to assess the radio resource
requirements of the new connection based on the proposed QoS vector and
to participate effectively in the end-to-end call setup negotiation.
The paper also introduces a simple and effective method for access control
to CDMA networks and a linear power assignment scheme to complement the
proposed admission control strategy. |
