Cross-Layer Design for Downlink Scheduling Combined with Call Admission Control in Wireless Networks

Abstract EN

Scheduling with admission control is proposed based on the integration of the parameters of physical layer and MAC layer called cross-layer design.

To achieve the throughput, resource allocation is carried out based on the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) in the physical layer and scheduling in MAC layer with rate adaptation.

When link adaptation is applied, the total energy consumed will be reduced, which will lead to the optimization.

Here the physical layer and MAC layer parameters are jointly analyzed to achieve the cross-layer integration for the proposed problem.

Based on this cross-layer integration the packet delay and throughput of the multiuser system are analyzed.

All the simulations were carried out in 3G simulation environment like Qualnet and Network Simulator and results were presented.
