Effective bandwidth-based admission control for multiservice CDMA cellular networks

We develop product form traffic models for single- and multiple-cell code-division multiple-access (CDMA) networks with multiple classes of mobile subscribers. The key feature of this development is the specification of a flexible call admission control procedure that details the numbers of mobiles of each class in each cell that the system operator should allow in order to maintain an acceptable quality of service. Effective bandwidth techniques from the analysis of statistical multiplexing at an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) based broadband integrated services digital network (ISDN) link are used to give performance guarantees that overcome the variability in interference levels characteristic of CDMA cellular networks. The result is an admissible region bounded by a finite number of hyperplanes and a simple and efficient call admission policy. The CDMA mobile network, operating within the admissible region described, has a very similar form to a circuit-switched network operating with fixed routing. This similarity allows the existing traffic modeling techniques and network management strategies for general loss networks to be applied to CDMA mobile cellular networks. In particular, with standard assumptions on the call arrival processes and holding times, the stationary state distribution has a product form on the truncated state space defined by the call admission strategy.
