Abstract

The channel allocation strategy is very important in wireless multimedia networks since the mobility of users needs to be considered in addition to diversity of QoS requirements of multimedia traffic. A existing strategy to decrease the probability of handoff failure is guard channel method, which reserves channels at each base station for handoff calls. In this paper, we propose an efficient channel allocation strategy based on the prioritization of handoff calls used in the guard channel method. In the Proposed strategy guard channels are shared between non-real time and real time handoff calls. To decrease the probability of handoff failure, (when resources become scarce), the Call Admission Control takes some resources away from the active calls. The simulation results demonstrate that the Proposed strategy Provides higher channel utilization and lower probability of handoff failure than those of existing strategies.

무선 멀티미디어 망에서는 멀티미디어 트래픽의 변동성에 더하여 사용자의 이동성까지 고려하여야 하기 때문에 다양한 멀티미디어 트래픽을 위한 채널 할당 방식이 요구되어진다. 기존의 핸드오프 실패확률을 줄이기 위해 제안된 방식은 guard 채널을 이용한 방법으로 핸드오프 연결을 위하여 각각의 기지국에 guard 채널을 두는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 guard 채널을 사용한 무선 멀티미디어 망에서 핸드오프 연결에 우선권을 주는 효율적 채널 할당 방식을. 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 guard 채널을 비실시간 연결과 실시간 핸드오프 연결이 공유하여 사용한다. 또한 핸드오프 실패 확률을 줄이기 위해서 망자원이 부족한 경우 진행중인 연결의 서비스 품질을 떨어뜨릴 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 효율적인 채널 할당 방식이 기존에 제안된 방법들에 비해 채널 이용률과 핸드오프 실패확률에 대해서 우수한 성능을 가지고 있음을 보인다.
