Efficient Algorithm to Determine the Optimal Configuration of Admission Control Policies in Multiservice Mobile Wireless Networks

We propose a new methodology and associated algorithms for computing the optimal configuration of the Multiple Fractional Guard Channel (MFGC) admission control policy in multiservice mobile wireless networks. Our approach is based on the solution space concept which discloses a novel insight into the problem of determining the optimal configuration parameter values of the MFGC policy and provides an heuristic evidence that the algorithm finds the optimal solution and converges in all scenarios, an evidence that was not provided in previous proposals. Besides, our algorithm is shown to be more efficient than previous algorithms appeared in the literature.
