The Makerere University iLabs Project Team (iLabs@MAK) has designed and implemented online laboratories based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) iLabs Shared Architecture (ISA), a scalable model that provides highly reliable generic experiment services independent of the experiment domains.
The last few decades have seen a tremendous growth of wireless networks demands due to the need to meet different multimedia applications available over the network. The demand has resulted into greater competition for the scarce available network resources and has introduced congestion in such networks that adversely affect the quality of service requirements of the applications. Call admission control is a key element if provision of quality of service in wireless networks is to be guaranteed. In this paper, a call admission control policy for wireless communication networks based on the use of dynamic threshold-based channel allocation scheme is proposed. The scheme deals with two traffic classes; voice and data with two different but equal channel thresholds, one for each traffic type assumed. The effect of the control parameters on the quality of service parameters is illustrated and analyzed.
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.
