Feedback based Admission Control Design in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Xiaoxia Liu, Huixing Peng · Procedia Engineering · 2012
Abstract One of the crucial components in QoS-providing mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) is admission control (AC) protocol. The responsibility of AC is to estimate the state of the network resources and decide whether application data can be admitted without promising more resources. AC should achieve a right balance between admission accuracy and network resource waste. Any inaccuracy in the admission decisions can bring bad consequences, either promising more resources than are available or bad user experience. However, a very accuracy admission decisions may cost resources. A more intelligent admission control design is needed. We proposed a design of feedback-based admission control to adjust the attitude of admission control. Also observation-based admission control performance metrics quantifying the satisfaction of both single session and the entire network is presented. The verification and implementation of our design and the effectiveness of the metrics is mentioned in the future works.
