Abstract

This paper introduces a multi-agent system for resource management developed for cellular mobile networks. The main feature of the proposed multi-agent system is a more efficient support for mobile multimedia users having dynamicba ndwidth requirements. This is achieved by reducing the call dropping probability while maintaining a high network resource utilization. A call admission algorithm performed by the multi-agent system is proposed in this paper and involves not only the original agent (at the cell handling the new admission request) but also a cluster of neighboring agents. The neighboring agents provide significant information about their ability to support the new mobile user in the future. This distributed process allows the original agent to make a more clear-sighted admission decision for the new user. Simulations are provided to show the improvements obtained using our multi-agent system.
