Saito, H. and Shiomoto, K., "Dynamic call admission control in ATM networks," IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 9, 7, pp. 982-989 (1991).
This paper presents dynamic call admission control using the distribution of the number of cells arriving during the fixed interval. This distribution is estimated from the measured number of cells arriving at the output buffer during the fixed interval and traffic parameters specified by users. Call acceptance is decided on the basis of on-line evaluation of the upper bound of cell loss probability, derive from the estimated distribution of the cells arriving. QOS standards can be guaranteed using this control when there is no estimation error. The control mechanism is effective when the number of call classes is large. It tolerates loose bandwidth enforcement and loose policing control, and dispenses with modeling of the arrival processes. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of this control and implementation is also discussed.
