On channel-adaptive multiple burst admission control for mobile computing based on wideband CDMA

Mobile computing systems built using third generation wireless standards are mostly based on the wideband CDMA platform to support high bit rate packet data services. One important component offering packet data service in CDMA is a burst admission control algorithm. We formulate the multiple-burst admission control problem as an integer programming problem, which induces our novel jointly adaptive burst admission algorithm, called the jointly adaptive burst admission-spatial dimension algorithm (JABA-SD), which is designed to effectively allocate valuable resources in wideband CDMA systems to burst requests. Both the forward link and the reverse link burst requests are considered and the system is evaluated by dynamic simulations which takes into account user mobility, power control, and soft hand-off.
