Performance analysis of voice/data cellular CDMA with SIR-based admission control

In this paper, we analyze the performance of a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR)-based admission control strategy on the uplink in cellular code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems with voice and data traffic. Most studies in the current literature to estimate CDMA system capacity with both voice and data traffic do not take into account admission control based on SIR constraints. Here, we present an analytical approach to evaluate the outage probability for voice traffic, the average system throughput, and the mean delay for data traffic in a voice/data CDMA system, which employs an SIR-based admission control. We make two main approximations in the voice call outage analysis-one based on the central limit theorem (CLT) and the other based on the Fenton's method. We apply the Fenton's method approximation to compute the retransmission probability and the mean delay for data traffic, and the average system throughput. We show that for a voice-only system, a capacity improvement of about 30% is achieved with the SIR-based admission control as compared with the code availability-based admission control. For a mixed voice/data system with 10 Erlangs of voice traffic, an improvement of about 40% in the mean delay for data is shown to be achieved. Also, for a mean delay of 50 ms with 10 Erlangs of voice traffic, the data Erlang capacity improves by about 50%.     

SIR-based call admission control by intercell interferenceprediction for DS-CDMA systems

A new signal-to-interference ratio (SIR)-based call admission control (CAC) scheme is proposed in DS-CDMA systems. In this scheme, a new call is accepted by a base station (BS) if the SIRs at that specific base station (BS) and its nearby, not necessarily adjacent, BSs can be guaranteed to be higher than some threshold value after accepting the new call. The SIRs of the nearby BSs can be guaranteed by predicting the additional intercell interference the new call will produce if it is accepted by the specific BS. Numerical results show that this scheme outperforms previous SIR-based CAC schemes

Call Admission Policies Based on Calculated Power Control Setpoints in SIR-Based Power-Controlled DS-CDMA Cellular Networks

In this paper, we develop call admission control algorithms for SIR-based power-controlled DS-CDMA cellular networks. We consider networks that handle both voice and data services. When a new call (or a handoff call) arrives at a base station requesting for admission, our algorithms will calculate the desired power control setpoints for the new call and all existing calls. We will provide necessary and sufficient conditions under which the power control algorithm will have a feasible solution. These conditions are obtained through deriving the inverse of the matrix used in the calculation of power control setpoints. If there is no feasible solution to power control or if the desired power levels to be received at the base station for some calls are larger than the maximum allowable power limits, the admission request will be rejected. Otherwise, the admission request will be granted. When higher priority is desired for handoff calls, we will allow different thresholds (i.e., different maximum allowable power limits) for new calls and handoff calls. We will develop an adaptive algorithm that adjusts these thresholds in real-time as environment changes. The performance of our algorithms will be shown through computer simulation and compared with existing algorithms.     

Call admission control for CDMA mobile communications systems supporting multimedia services

The call admission control (CAC) belongs to the category of resource management. Since the radio spectrum is very scarce resource, CAC is one of the most important engineering issues for mobile communications. In this paper, we propose a CAC scheme for direct sequence code-division multiple-access cellular systems supporting mobile multimedia communications services. There are multiple call classes in multimedia services and the required signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) varies with call classes. Call admission decision in the proposed scheme is based on SIR measurement. We take account of the traffic asymmetry between uplink and downlink, which is the most important characteristic of multimedia traffic. In addition, the proposed scheme guarantees the priority of handoff call requests over new call requests. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme using Markov analysis. The performance measures which we focus on are the system throughput and the blocking probabilities of handoff calls and new calls. The outage probability of a call in progress is also calculated, which is the probability that the measured bit energy-to-noise density ratio of the call is smaller than the required value for maintaining adequate transmission quality. We present some numerical examples with practically meaningful parameter values and, as a result, show that the proposed CAC scheme can operate well in the mobile multimedia systems such as the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) systems.     

Design of power control mechanisms with PCM realization for theuplink of a DS-CDMA cellular mobile radio system

Power control (PC) is an important issue in a direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) cellular mobile radio system. Higher link performance and greater system capacity cannot be achieved unless an appropriate PC mechanism is employed. In previous research, a delta-modulation (DM) realization of strength-based and SIR-based PC mechanisms for uplink communication has been studied by simulation. In order to obtain higher PC trackability, we study a pulse-code-modulation (PCM) realization of the above two PC mechanisms for the uplink of a DS-CDMA cellular mobile radio system. The simulation results presented indicate that the PC mechanisms with PCM realization for the uplink can achieve a lower outage probability and thus higher link performance than the PC mechanisms with DM realization. We also obtain optimal design parameters such as the stepsize and the control mode for the two PCM PC mechanisms. In addition, we compare the two PCM PC mechanisms in terms of their outage probability and stability and find that the strength-based mechanism has a higher outage probability but greater stability than the SIR-based mechanism     

Call admission control in wideband CDMA cellular networks by using fuzzy logic

In this paper, a novel call admission control (CAC) scheme using fuzzy logic is proposed for the reverse link transmission in wideband code division multiple access (CDMA) cellular communications. The fuzzy CAC scheme first estimates the effective bandwidths of the call request from a mobile station (MS) and its mobility information, then makes a decision to accept or reject the connection request based on the estimation and system resource availability. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy CAC scheme in terms of new call blocking probability/handoff call dropping probability, outage probability, and resource utilization.     

Hot-spot traffic relief with a tilted antenna in CDMA cellularnetworks

Direct-sequence code division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) cellular networks are highly promising in terms of their potential to provide more capacity than an advanced mobile phone system (AMPS). However, heterogeneous traffic loading causes traffic congestion in a CDMA hot-spot. This paper presents a tilted antenna mechanism for sectored cells in CDMA cellular networks to relieve the congestion in a hot-spot sector. The fixed antenna-tilted mechanism, which only tilts the hot-spot antenna, can provide the merit of traffic balancing. Besides, we design a dynamic antenna-tilted mechanism in which tilting the antennas of the hot spot and its adjacent cell sectors is based on varying the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The dynamic mechanism can automatically tilt the antenna corresponding to the variation of traffic. Consequently, more capacity can be provided than in a fixed tilting mechanism, which only tilts the hot-spot antenna. Another benefit is the traffic-balancing effect with a tilted-antenna mechanism that reduces the transceivers of a hot-spot base station. Therefore, extra facilities are unnecessary for the hot spot than for a normal or light traffic sector     

Cochannel interference reduction in dynamic-TDD fixed wireless applications, using time slot allocation algorithms

In this paper, we consider a fixed wireless cellular network that uses dynamic time division duplex (D-TDD). We analyze the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) outage performance of a D-TDD fixed cellular system, and propose a scheme to improve the outage probability performance. First, outage probability is evaluated using an analytical model, when omnidirectional antennas are deployed at a base-station site and a subscriber site. Our model is verified, using Monte Carlo simulations. According to our investigation, the outage performance of the D-TDD system is severely limited by a strong interference from the cochannel cell on the downlink, while the reference cell is in the uplink cycle. To improve the outage performance during uplink receptions, we introduce two time-slot allocation methods, combined with sector antennas: max min{SIR} and max{SIR}. Max min{SIR} is an exhaustive search algorithm for assigning subscribers to a few extra uplink time slots, so as to maximize the minimum SIR expectation value over the extra uplink time-slots region. It is used as a performance benchmark in our analysis. Meanwhile, the max{SIR} is a simpler and efficient algorithm for improving the outage performance. It is established that the performance difference between the two algorithms is not noticeable. Especially, the difference is negligible, when the dynamic range of the traffic pattern between uplink and downlink is small. Also, the outage performance of a system that employs the max{SIR} algorithm combined with sectored antennas is compared to that of a system employing adaptive-array antennas. The proposed system shows promise, and offers a compromise between system complexity and network guaranteed availability.     

Call admission control strategy for system throughput maximization considering both call- and packet-level QoSs

This letter presents a call admission control (CAC) strategy for system throughput maximization in wireless uplink systems. This strategy considers not only the call-level quality of service (QoS) (i.e., blocking probability) but also the packet-level QoS (i.e., outage probability). Using the statistical co-channel interference (CCI) model and state diagram, the outage probability and the blocking probability are investigated as a function of the relative traffic load. We formulate the CAC strategy problem based on relative traffic load, and suggest a solution. The numerical results show that maximum system throughput can be achieved by controlling the relative traffic load. In addition, we illustrate the region where system throughput is constrained by call- and packet-level QoSs. This examination shows that the call and packet-level QoSs must be considered together to achieve maximum system throughput.     

Cross-Layer optimal connection admission control for variable bit rate multimedia traffic in packet wireless CDMA networks

Next generation wireless code division multiple access (CDMA) networks are required to support packet multimedia traffic. This paper addresses the connection admission control problem for multiservice packet traffic modeled as Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP) with the quality of service (QoS) requirements on both physical layer signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) and network layer blocking probability. Optimal linear-programming-based algorithms are presented that take into account of SIR outage probability constraints. By exploiting the MMPP traffic models and introducing a small SIR outage probability, the proposed algorithms can dramatically improve the network utilization. In addition, we propose two reduced complexity algorithms that require less computation and can have satisfactory approximation to the optimal solutions. Numerical examples illustrating the performance of the proposed schemes are presented.     

An Adaptive Hot‐Spot Operating Scheme for OFDMA Downlink Systems in Vertically Overlaid Cellular Architecture

In vertically overlaid cellular systems, a temporary traffic concentration can occur in a hot‐spot area, and this adversely affects overall system capacity. In this paper, we develop an adaptive hot‐spot operating scheme (AHOS) to mitigate the negative effects from the nonuniform distribution of user location and the variation in the mixture of QoS requirements in orthogonal frequency division multiple access downlink systems. Here, the base station in a macrocell can control the operation of picocells within the cell, and turns them on or off according to the system overload estimation function. In order to determine whether the set of picocells is turned on or off, we define an AHOS gain index that describes the number of subcarriers saved to the macrocell by turning a specific picocell on. For initiating the picocell OFF procedure, we utilize the changes in traffic concentration and co‐channel interference to the neighboring cells. According to computer simulation, the AHOS has been proved to have maximize system throughput while maintaining a very low QoS outage probability under various system scenarios in both a single‐cell and multi‐cell environments.     

Effective bandwidth of multimedia traffic in packet wireless CDMA networks with LMMSE receivers: a cross-layer perspective

We propose a novel concept of cross-layer effective bandwidth that characterizes the unified resource usage taking into account both physical layer linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) receivers and statistical characteristics of the packet traffic in code division multiple access (CDMA) networks. Based on the concept of cross-layer effective bandwidth, we develop an optimal connection admission control (CAC) scheme for variable bit rate packet traffic with QoS constraints at both physical and network layers. By introducing a small signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) outage probability using the concept of cross-layer effective bandwidth, the capacity of CDMA networks in the proposed CAC scheme can be increased significantly compared to some existing schemes. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is demonstrated by numerical examples.     

Performance analysis of soft handoff in CDMA cellular networks

A unique feature of code division multiple access (CDMA) systems is the use of soft handoff between cells. Soft handoff, in general, increases the system capacity because while the link between a mobile and one base station is poor, it might be better between the same mobile and some other base station. Hence, the user may transmit at a lower power in a soft handoff situation. Teletraffic analysis of soft handoff is complex because one cannot separate transmission issues from traffic issues. Many papers in the literature have independently analyzed the effect of soft capacity and soft handoff on network performance. Some papers have analyzed the effect of soft handoff on soft capacity but there has been no proper teletraffic analysis that includes both soft capacity and soft handoff. This paper proposes a traffic model for a DS-CDMA cellular network that includes both soft capacity and soft handoff. Network performance is then computed in terms of call blocking

Power allocation and call admission control in multi‐class traffic DS‐CDMA systems with imperfect power control

We deal with power allocation (PA) and call admission control (CAC) under imperfect power control (IPC) in the reverse link of direct sequence‐code division multiple access systems for supporting multi‐class traffic. First, we briefly review the optimum PA scheme under perfect power control (PPC) and the CAC scheme subject to an outage constraint on the total composite received power. Then, we analyze the outage degradation due to the power control error when the optimum reference power levels under PPC are used. In order to mitigate the outage degradation, we would modify the reference power levels by incorporating a call dropping strategy and an outage‐lowering strategy into the optimum PA scheme under PPC. Also, we derive a constraint inequality to determine the reverse link capacity under IPC. Finally, through numerical analyses, we compute the modified reference power levels under IPC and evaluate the reverse link capacity under IPC. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Non-Uniform Traffic Issues in DCA Wireless Multimedia Networks

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.
