Characterization of jitter and admission control in multiservice networks

In statistical admission control based on effective bandwidth, the network provides probabilistic guarantees for the packet loss and delay. In integrated multiservice networks like third-generation mobile networks, some traffic classes also need guarantees on the jitter. One approach is to treat jitter like delay. This letter proposes a new criterion to take into account jitter guarantees. Numerical results show that our criterion is effective and adds improvement up to 10% on the bandwidth management.
