In this paper we propose a method of evaluating the performance of a Softswitch that provides call control to voice services in NGN (next generation network). First, we describe the architecture for voice services in NGN and anatomize the call control processes such as call initiation, call re-initiation and call release of a voice connection. kiter that we propose a method of estimating appropriate server capacity of the Softswitch using approximate queuing model. Via numerical experiments we illustrate the implication of the work

State-dependent call admission control (SDCAC) is proposed to make efficient use of scarce wireless resource in a hierarchical wireless network with heterogeneous traffic. With SDCAC, new calls are accepted according to an acceptance probability taking account of not only cell dwell time but also call holding time and system state (i.e., occupied bandwidth). An analytical method is developed to calculate performance measures of interest, e.g., new call blocking probability, forced termination probability, over. all weighted blocking probability. Numerical results with not only stationary but nonstationary traffic loads are presented to show the robustness of SDCAC. It is shown that SDCAC performs much better than the other considered schemes under nonstationary traffic load.

This paper presents an adaptive call admission control(CAC) algorithm based on a target handoff call dropping probability in mobile wireless environments. This method uses a neural network for predicting and reserving the bandwidth demands for handoff calls and new calls. The amount of bandwidth to be reserved is adaptively adjusted by a target value of handoff call dropping probability(CDP). That is, if the handoff CDP exceeds the a target CDP value, the bandwidth to be reserved should be increased to reduce the handoff dropping probability below a target value. The proposed method is intended to prevent from increasing handoff call dropping probability when bandwidth to be reserved is not enough for handoff calls due to an uncertain prediction. Our simulations compare the handoff CDP in proposed CAC with that of an existing CAC. Results show that the proposed method sustains handoff call dropping probability below our target value.

In this paper, the call setup performance of the CSCF(Call Session Control function) that manages the session control in providing the IMS(IP Multimedia subsystem)-based multimedia service in the BcN(Broadband convergence Network) is analyzed. While the performance related with the call/session of the SIP-Based voice service is analysed, the study for the call recessing performance of the IMS-based multimedia service is insufficient. In this paper, as, the processing capacity and subscriber number of CSCF were changed, the call setup delay time according to the session setup procedure of IMS was measured using the M/M/1 queuing model and OPNET simulation. The experimental results show that the sudden increased delay showed up in case the session establishment requirement ratio of total users over 13% of the CSCF processing capacity. Therefore, the user number and capacity of CSCF suitable for the session establishment delay threshold can be calculated or estimated.

In this paper, we propose a new price-based call admission control algorithm for multi-class communication networks. When a call arrives at the network, it informs the network of the number of requested circuits and the minimum amount of time that it will require. The network provides the optimal price for the arrived call with which it tries to maximize its expected revenue. The optimal price is dynamically adjusted based on the information of the arrived call, and the present and the estimated future congestion level of the network during the reservation time of the call. If the call accepts the price, it is admitted. Otherwise, it is rejected. We compare the performance of our dynamic pricing algorithm with that of the static pricing algorithm by Courcoubetis and Reiman [1], and Paschalidis and Tsitsiklis [2]. By the comparison, we show that our dynamic pricing algorithm has better performance aspects such as higher call admission ratio and lower price than the static pricing algorithm, although these two algorithms result in almost the same revenue as shown in [2]. This implies that, in the competitive situation, the dynamic pricing algorithm can attract more users than the static pricing algorithm, generating more revenue. Moreover, we show that if a certain fixed connection fee is introduced to the price for a call, our dynamic pricing algorithm yields more revenue.

This paper proposes a new UPC(usage parameter control) mechanism that varies the token generation rate of leaky bucket by observing virtual buffer, thus achieving an improvement of performance. An acceptance of a call in B-ISDN is determined by call admission control. A UPC that polices the agreed traffic parameters of a call and takes appropriate actions to prevent congestion in networks. The cell loss probability of conventional UPC is far from that of ideal UPC. The proposed mechanism has a better policing ability and response time for nonconforming call. The proposed mechanism uses ON-OFF model as input traffic. The results of simulation show the efficiency of the proposed mechanism.

The call-attempt behavior in a telecommunications service is influenced by the launch of new services and the choice of subscribers. On Feb 28, 2005, there was a disastrous shut-down of major local electronic switching systems (ESS) due to an abrupt increase of call-attempts. This incident turned out to be a strong proof that appropriate forecasting attempts are necessary not only for the capacity planning of network but also for the quality control of ESS. In this paper, forecasting models are first developed to estimate the daily ESS call-attempts and user retrial rates and then meaningful interpretations of results will follow. Finally future research topics will be presented.

In this paper, an Ad-hoc Routing Protocol that works in wireless Ad-hoc communication networks with multiple radios and multiple channels and that controls call admission based on bandwidth measurement is proposed. Unlike the conventional Ad-hoc node with a single radio using a single channel, an Ad-hoc node of the protocol proposed, the MCQosR(Multiple Channel Quality of Service Routing), has multiple radios and uses multiple channels, which allows full duplex transmission between wireless Ad-hoc nodes, and reduces intra interference on the route. Also, a fixed channel only for reception at each node enables the estimation of the available bandwidth, which is used to control the call admission for QoS provision. The performance of the MCQosR was verified by simulation.

Coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP) is considered to be a promising technique to improve the throughput for LTE-Advanced systems. One important approach for CoMP is Joint Transmission (JT). However, the analytical model of JT has not been fully studied, as user equipments (UEs) receiving the desired signals from an adjacent base station (BS) as well as serving BS, or only serving BS were not distinguished. We derive a new analytical model to describe the call admission control in JT based systems. The performance measures of interest are the call blocking probability, and resource utilization. Furthermore, we compare the performance of JT-based systems and non-JT- based systems. The analytical results are in reasonable agreement with the simulation results.

Effective call admission control is desirable to control an ATM traffics. It should provide high fairness and utilization for different kinds of services during call admission. Complete bandwidth sharing method is efficient for utilization of bandwidth but not efficient for fairness of call admission. Complete bandwidth partitioning method is efficient for fairness but not efficient for utilization. We propose a new CST(Complete Sharing with Threshold) algorithm using threshold on a total link to improve fairness and utilization.
