Connection Admission Control for Flow Level QoS in Bufferless Models (pdf)

Abstract:
Admission control algorithms used in access networks for multiplexed voice sources are typically based on aggregated system characteristics, such as aggregate loss probability. Even though the relation of these aggregate performance measures to the performance of specifc flows is not trivial, it has gained limited attention so far. We propose an admission control method that provides flow level QoS guarantees. The proposed method is based on Gaussian approximation applied for the bufferless multiplexing model. We show that the flow level packet loss violation probability can be approximated as the quantile of a normal distribution and we give a method to calculate its mean and variance. The obtained admission control formula includes the moments of the activity factor distribution.
