SoftQoS-based GAG Scheme forWCDMA Femtocell Networks
Mostafa ZamanChowdhury · 2008
Key features desired fromIMT-Advanced network include openarchitecture forproductivity, increased end-user throughput, reducedlatency, support forfullmobility and end-to-end QoS.A femtocell isa smallcellular basestation designed foruseinresidential orsmall business environments. It connects totheservice provider's network viabroadband (such asDSL orcable). TheIMT-Advanced networks willmake extensive useoffemtocell, picocell andmicrocell technologies to deliver veryhighdatarates inhigh-usage areas along withmacro cells. In thispaper,we proposea FMC (FixedMobile Convergence) network architecture using afemtocell concept. In thiscase, we propose a newCAC (Call Admission Control) schemebasedonSoft QoSforresource allocation. Theproposed schemecaneffectively satisfy theQoSrequirement.
