Available bandwidth estimation has lately been proposed to be used for end-to-end resource management in existing and emerging mobile communication systems, whose transport networks could end up being the bottleneck rather than the air interface. Algorithms for admission control, handover and adaptive QoS management could take into account such estimations, which may lead to an overall system performance improvement. This paper introduces two new iterative algorithms (Zoom and Adaptive pathChirp) for network load monitoring that can be combined with a linear least squares fitting achieving reliable estimations without causing congestion collapse. Their performance is evaluated in a simulated UTRAN Long Term Evolution backhaul.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
