摘要
IEEE 802.16 has been designed to support QoS (Quality of Service) in Wireless broadband Metropolitan Networks (WMAN), and specifically in the access networks. To achieve this, the IEEE 802.16.e amendment introduces the service differentiation by five service classes (UGS, ertPS, rtPS, nrtPS and BE). To maintain the QoS of active connections and to avoid any congestion in the network, an Admission Control (AC) is defined. AC aims to accept or reject a new connection according to the negotiated parameters and the availability of resources in the network. This mechanism is not standardized and let to the operators. We tackle this point, by proposing in this study a new Admission Control (AC) that improves the QoS of BE traffic by avoiding a strict bandwidth assignment of other traffics (rtPS and nrtPS) as is defined in major previous studies. The proposed mechanism is based on token bucket for rtPS, nrtPS and BE traffics in order to reduce lightly the number of accepted connections and to improve considerably the number of accepted BE connections. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, we use PEPS (Performance Evaluation of Parallel Systems) which is a powerful tool based on models which can be described with Stochastic Automata Networks (SAN). PEPS can solve complex models with a large state space and with many synchronized events. Therefore, we show that this tool is suitable for wireless network, and specifically for the proposed scheme, toward numerical results we show as we expected that our proposed AC outperform the classical one by reducing lightly the performance of other service classes.
