Abstract

This paper proposes a new call admission control (CAC) scheme for one-hop homogeneous 802.11 DCF networks. Using the proposed scheme, we can perform admission control quickly and easily without the need for network performance measurements and complex calculations. The CAC rule is derived under asymptotic conditions, but our extensive numerical examples show that it works well for practical-sized networks with a finite retransmission limit and realistic nonsaturated traffic.
