This paper develops an adaptive algorithm for call admission control in wireless networks. The algorithm is built upon the concept of guard channels and it uses an adaptation algorithm to search automatically the optimal number of guard channels to be reserved at each base station. The quality of service parameters used in the study are the new call blocking probability and the handoff call blocking probability. The simulation studies are performed for comparisons of the present algorithm with static guard channel policy.
