Joint Call Admission Control for Next Generation Wireless Network

Next generation wireless network (NGWN) will be heterogeneous in nature where different radio access technologies (RATs) such as UMTS, WiMax, WLAN, etc, coexist. This coexistence necessitates joint radio resource management (JRRM). This paper focuses on joint call admission control (JCAC) for NGWN. Factors that determine a user's preference for a particular RAT are discussed. We propose a JCAC algorithm which considers the user's preference in making admission decision. A specific case where the user prefers to be served by the RAT which has the least service cost is modeled and evaluated using Markov decision process. The results obtained shows that overall service cost in heterogeneous network can be significantly reduced by using the proposed joint call admission control
