Resource sharing for data services (RSDS)

We present a new flexible resource allocation (FRA) strategy, called resource sharing for data services (RSDS), that dynamically averages the allocated resources to the call requests based on the number of calls in a cell. RSDS accommodates the maximum number of requests while providing acceptable quality to the admitted request through the use of. degradation and compensation techniques. An analytical model (validated by computer simulations) is developed to model RSDS in a scenario with multiple types of service, each of them with different priorities. Preliminary results indicate that the RSDS strategy outperforms some strategies already reported in the literature.
