Abstract
High-Speed Downlink Protocol Access (HSDPA) is a mobile telephony protocol. It is designed to increase data capacity and transfer rate. This paper presents a resource allocation strategy in the HSDPA broadband network. An admission check is proposed. It divides the coverage area of a base station (Node-B) into several regions based on the principle of Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) efficiency.
The call admission control (CAC) mechanism distinguishes two RT and NRT traffic according to the type of service requested by the user. It dynamically allocates an effective bandwidth to each accepted call in the system based on its modulation efficiency and maintains its initial rate during its communication.
