Simulation of Call Admission Control in Multi-Traffics WCDMA System

Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) is the multiple access technique used in the third generation of mobile telecommunication (3G) systems. Capacity of this technique does not have an exact limit. The maximum capacity of WCDMA depends on current interference in the system. However, high interference causes the system a degradation of quality-of-service (QoS). Therefore, a mechanism to suppress the interference is vital. Call Admission Control (CAC) is a mechanism capable for maintaining the interference below a threshold. This report presents a basic simulation description necessary for demonstrating a simulation of a simple WCDMA system with CAC. The report includes some fundamental theories about a WCDMA system, traffic modeling, and CAC algorithms. Some simulation results are also given. The simulation results show that the blocking probability depends on the average number of users and thresholds. The results also show that much data traffic is blocked although the capacity is still available. This leads us to realize the importance of a mechanism to handle data traffic in the multi-traffics WCDMA system

Measurement-based Admission Control for Real-Time Traffic in IEEE 802.16 Wireless Metropolitan Area Network

To support real-time applications, we present a Measurement-based Admission Control (MBAC) scheme with Modified Largest Weighted Delay First (M-LWDF) scheduling algorithm. The objective of the admission control scheme is to admit new real-time application call into the system without jeopardizing the maximum average packet delay bound. Measured values of the average packet delay from the network are used for the admission decision. As long as a new call can obtain the requested service and the packet delay of existing calls are not risked by admitting it, the new call will be accepted into the network. In addition, M-LWDF scheduling algorithm is introduced to efficiently allocate network resource. Simulation results show that the proposed MBAC scheme maintains good packet delay bound

Controle de admissão e de fluxo em sistemas sem fio

Orientador: Michel Daoud YacoubDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Eletrica e de ComputaçãoResumo: Este trabalho apresenta um novo algoritmo de Controle de Admissão de Chamadas (CAC) que funciona em conjunto com o Controle de Fluxo na interface aérea com o objetivo de proporcionar a diferenciação de classes de modo e?ciente. Assim, o mecanismo proposto busca melhorar a utilização da interface aérea a partir da introdução de uma estratégia de bloqueio gradual onde os usuários de menor prioridade têm suas taxas de transmissão reduzidas ao invés de serem diretamente eliminados do sistema. O parâmetro de decisão do CAC e do Controle de Fluxo é a banda efetiva disponível na interface aérea. O algoritmo toma medidas próativas de acordo com a carga do sistema visando manter a qualidade requerida por cada classe. Isto é conseguido com a utilização de três limiares de decisão para os algoritmos de CAC e controle de ?uxo, sendo que o sistema toma medidas distintas de acordo com o limiar . Três classes foram consideradas: Premium, Ouro e Prata. O algoritmo foi implementado e simulado no software MatLab. Os resultados mostram que a diferenciação de classes é atingida e os níveis de bloqueio são iguais ou menores que no caso onde utilizase apenas um limiar e sem diferenciação de classesAbstract: The current work presents a new multithreshold CAC algorithm that works along with a ?ow control mechanism in order to offer full class differentiation. Furthermore the proposed scheme aims to improve the air interface utilization by introducing a softblocking strategy where the lower classes users have their transmission rates truncated before completely stopped. The decision parameter for the CAC and Flow control is the Air Interface Effective Bandwidth. The algorithm takes proactive steps according to the system load in order to keep the quality level required by each class. That is done by introducing three thresholds for the CAC and Flow Control algorithms, in this way the system takes different actions according to the load it is experiencing in each decision moment. Three classes were considered, premium, gold, and silver. The proposed mechanism was implemented in simulated in the Matlab software. Results show that the class differentiation is achieved and the blocking rates remain on the same levels than in the one threshold caseMestradoTelecomunicações e TelemáticaMestre em Engenharia Elétric

Analytical modeling of HSUPA-enabled UMTS networks for capacity planning

In recent years, mobile communication networks have experienced significant evolution. The 3G mobile communication system, UMTS, employs WCDMA as the air interface standard, which leads to quite different mobile network planning and dimensioning processes compared with 2G systems. The UMTS system capacity is limited by the received interference at NodeBs due to the unique features of WCDMA, which is denoted as `soft capacity'. Consequently, the key challenge in UMTS radio network planning has been shifted from channel allocation in the channelized 2G systems to blocking and outage probabilities computation under the `cell breathing' effects which are due to the relationship between network coverage and capacity. The interference characterization, especially for the other-cell interference, is one of the most important components in 3G mobile networks planning. This monograph firstly investigates the system behavior in the operation of UMTS uplink, and develops the analytic techniques to model interference and system load as fully-characterized random variables, which can be directly applicable to the performance modeling of such networks. When the analysis progresses from single-cell scenario to multi-cell scenario, as the target SIR oriented power control mechanism is employed for maximum capacity, more sophisticated system operation, `feedback behavior', has emerged, as the interference levels at different cells depend on each other. Such behaviors are also captured into the constructed interference model by iterative and approximation approaches. The models are then extended to cater for the features of the newly introduced HSUPA, which provides enhanced dedicated channels for the packet switched data services such that much higher bandwidth can be achieved for best-effort elastic traffic, which allows network operators to cope with the coexistence of both circuit-switched and packet-switched traffic and guarantee the QoS requirements. During the derivation, we consider various propagation models, traffic models, resource allocation schemes for many possible scenarios, each of which may lead to different analytical models. All the suggested models are validated with either Monte-Carlo simulations or discrete event simulations, where excellent matches between results are always achieved. Furthermore, this monograph studies the optimization-based resource allocation strategies in the UMTS uplink with integrated QoS/best-effort traffic. Optimization techniques, both linear-programming based and non-linear-programming based, are used to determine how much resource should be assigned to each enhanced uplink user in the multi-cell environment where each NodeB possesses full knowledge of the whole network. The system performance under such resource allocation schemes are analyzed and compared via Monte-Carlo simulations, which verifies that the proposed framework may serve as a good estimation and optimal reference to study how systems perform for network operators
