An adaptive scheduling scheme to efficient emergency call holding times in public safety network

The allocation of limited resources such as links, servers, and agents to support as many as emergency call responses as possible while maintaining reasonable quality of service is a principal requirement in public safety networks. It is difficult to handle the highest priority emergency call responses for a congested period with a limited number of dedicated incoming links from commercial networks. Therefore, in this paper, we present the adaptive scheme based on a different call conversation time for an achieving efficient resource scheduling during a congested period without investing extra resources. The proposed adaptive scheduling approach improves accuracy of the network performance with the dynamic call holding time approach.
