Abstract

Wireless networks that utilize dynamic channel allocation (DCA) are known to perform better than those with fixed channel allocation, in terms of the call level QoS measures such as the handoff dropping probability. On account of this, the DCA networks are usually designed without the call admission control (CAC). However, given the decrease of cell sizes, together with ever increasing mobile phone and terminal population, dynamic channel allocation policies (such as channel borrowing) may not be sufficient to cope with the hot-spot area size and its traffic intensity. This paper analyses the performance of the DCA networks, both with and without the call admission control, under the hot-spot traffic regime. In such cases, the pure DCA approach fails to ensure sufficiently low level of QoS in both the hot-spot area and the surrounding cells. We propose a CAC policy that can stabilize the QoS under non-uniform traffic, whilst being easy to integrate in the distributed DCA policies.
