Efficient call admission control and scheduling technique for GPRS using genetic algorithms

In future wireless packet networks, it is anticipated that a wide variety of data applications, ranging from WWW browsing to Email, and real time services like packetized voice and videoconference will be supported with varying levels of QoS. Therefore there is a need for packet and service scheduling schemes that effectively provide QoS guarantees and also are simple to implement. This paper describes a novel dynamic admission control and scheduling technique based on genetic algorithms, focusing on static and dynamic parameters of service classes. A performance comparison of this technique on a GPRS system is evaluated against data services and also a traffic mix comprising voice and data.
