Abstract - Consumers of 4G wireless networks have grown exponentially in recent years as they discover how user-friendly the
service is. Due to the large number of users and their regular requests, it is important to make use of the limited network resources
available to ensure the highest level of service quality (QoS). In 4G networks, the call admission control (CAC) scheme has a
significant effect on ensuring QoS for different users with different QoS specifications. Reservation-based schemes and bandwidth
degradation schemes have recently been proposed with the aim of making efficient use of network resources and ensuring that
admitted calls meet QoS requirements.
In this paper, we propose a novel CAC scheme that makes efficient use of network resources while avoiding traffic starvation. The
scheme has an adaptive threshold value that changes network capacity when there is a lot of traffic. In terms of admitting several
calls and guaranteeing QoS to all traffic types in the network, simulation results show that the proposed scheme greatly
outperforms the reservation-based scheme and bandwidth degradation schemes.
Key Words: Call admission control, call blocking probability, calls dropping probability, Handoff, Quality of service.
1. INTRODUCTION
The implementation of promising technology by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution was
necessitated by the rapid growth of cellular networks across various technologies (LTE). To increase user data rates, provide
wide area coverage, and boost spectral performance, LTE uses Orthogonal Frequency Multiple Access (OFDMA) and Multi-user
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technologies [1]. There are significant challenges in meeting Quality of Service
(QoS) standards and reducing network congestion in order to achieve these goals. It is essential to have an efficient radio
resource management system in order to solve the problems listed above (RRM). One of the most basic RRM techniques is Call
Admission Control (CAC). The CAC scheme is a method of accepting a new call or handoff call into the network while
maintaining the QoS of current calls without causing any call drops. The process of moving an ongoing call or data session from
one channel to another in a cellular network without violating QoS specifications is referred to as a handoff call [2]. The CAC
scheme arranges handoff calls to the network based on available bandwidth to meet consumer QoS requirements. As a result,
some bandwidth is set aside for incoming handoff calls, and the remaining bandwidth is assigned to new calls. An successful
CAC scheme must provide efficient network resource usage as well as excellent QoS to admitted users at the same time.
The work in [3] suggested a channel-borrowing scheme in which best effort (BE) traffic borrows bandwidth from high-priority
calls. For the rest of this article, we'll refer to [3] as the Reservation Based scheme. For its CAC scheme, the Reservation Based
scheme used modeling and approximation methods. However, due to the lack of user traffic, individual modeling and
approximation of key device parameters is inefficient for the wireless network. Additionally, the scheme used time-varying
status to dynamically reserve some network bandwidth for handoff calls. However, if some bandwidth is borrowed and
reserved for handoff calls, but the network only receives a few or no handoff calls, those network resources can be
underutilized or wasted, resulting in inefficient network resource utilization. To address the inefficiency of Reservation Based
CAC, we propose An Adaptive Call Admission Control with Bandwidth Reservation for Downlink LTE Networks in this paper. To
begin, the mechanism establishes new CAC requirements based on the types of traffic. When networks have insufficient
resources under a heavy load situation, the latest CAC criteria incorporate a bandwidth loss strategy to generate opportunities
for new calls. Following that, based on the traffic strength intensity, an adaptive threshold value is used to reserve sufficient
bandwidth for handoff calls. This paper makes three significant contributions. The first goal is to increase the throughput of BE
traffic, which is currently being slowed due to inefficient network resource use. The second contribution is the use of an
adaptive threshold value that changes the network status to reduce call blocking probability (CBP) and call dropping
probability (CDP). Finally, an analytical model based on a two-level Markov chain was created to evaluate the proposed
scheme's results.
