Normalised-power based reservation in connection admission control for mixed services in 3rd generation radio access networks

Call admission control (CAC) is an essential part of radio resource management in wireless communications, where CAC algorithms are employed to provide quality of service (QoS) [3GPP, 1999] and efficient radio resource utilization in 3rd generation radio access networks (3GRAN). This paper presents a novel radio resource reservation scheme that uses the normalised-power resource metric, to guarantee minimum capacity operating points for different services according to their resource requirements.
