Abstract

Admission control and routing in circuit-switched networks are investigated with two types of traffic: wideband with delayed call set up and narrowband operating in loss mode. Markov decision theory is used to construct a state-dependent routing policy. Optimality conditions for a load sharing routing are derived from the first-order Kuhn-Tucker equations. These models together with a direct routing scheme are used in a simulation study to determine the best approach for control of traffic with delayed call setup. State-dependent routing is found to be superior to direct routing and load sharing routing, although its operation is much more complex
