The rapid growth of real-time multimedia applications over IP networks has made QoS a critical issue. One important factor affecting the QoS in the overall IP networks is the admission control in the fast expanding wireless IP networks. Due to the limitations of wireless bandwidth, wireless IP networks (cellular IP networks in particular) are generally considered to be the bottlenecks of the global IP networks. Admission control is to maintain the QoS level for the services admitted. It determines whether to admit or reject a new call request in the mobile cell based on the availability...
