Abstract

In this paper, we evaluate a two-stage call admission control (CAC) policy for Long Term Evolution (LTE) Systems working along with packet scheduler (PS). The proposed two-stage admission scheme uses the quality the received signal as an indicator to estimate the amount of resources for each call in order to improve the performance of the overall network. Unlikely with other CAC approaches we use a SINR-based estimator to clarified the connection quality, and thereafter quantize the user demand in term of physical resources. However, for scheduling, we use an algorithm where highest priority is assigned for guaranteed bit rate (GBR) proportional to their packet delays. Simulations results show that the proposed CAC scheme combined with proposed Packet Scheduling policy greatly improves performance of non-GBR service, while also maintaining quite well the Quality of Service (QoS) of delay sensitive traffic (GBR) and ends up with reduction in Packet Drop Ratio (PDR) for system.
