Research into service rate adaptation in mobile network
Huimin Zhang · Journal of Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications · 2004
The rate adaptation issue of rate adaptive services in mobile communication network is introduced, and especially its fairness and overhead problems are discussed in detail in this paper. Three current rate adaptation schemes are also introduced and analyzed and a new scheme is proposed. The new scheme employs fixed rate upgrade/degrade ratios and adjusts the rates of each connection in turn. So during the rate adaptation, it not only ensures the fairness but also limits the network overhead. The computer simulation results show that the new scheme has better performance.
