Downlink Call Admission Control in Multiservice WiMAX Networks

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a promising technology for last-mile broadband Internet access. In multiservice WiMAX networks, call admission control (CAC) plays a critical role. In this paper, we address CAC problem from the perspectives of both WiMAX service providers and subscribers. Specifically, we formulate CAC as an optimization problem, in which the demands of service providers and subscribers are taken into account. To solve the optimization problem, we develop a utility and fairness constrained greedy revenue algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed approach has satisfying performance.
