Sažetak

This paper presents an integrated bandwidth adaptation scheme for multimedia wireless networks using application utility functions. With the proposed scheme, each call in the network is assigned a utility function according to its adaptive characteristics. Depending on the network load the allocated bandwidth of ongoing calls are upgraded or degraded dynamically so that the achieved utility of the network is maximized. Appropriate call admission control and bandwidth reservation policies are also incorporated into the scheme to provide QoS guarantees to the new and handoff calls, respectively. Extensive simulation experiments have been conducted to evaluate the connection-level performance of the proposed scheme. Results show that our bandwidth adaptation scheme is effective in both increasing the utility and bandwidth utilization of wireless networks while keeping the call blocking and handoff dropping probabilities substantially low.
