Traditional Call Admission Control (CAC) schemes only consider call-level performance and are mainly designed for circuit-switched wireless network. Since future wireless communications will become packet-switched systems, the packet-level features could be explored to improve the system performance. This is especially true when the TCP-type of elastic applications are running over such packet-switched wireless networks, as the elasticity of TCP applications has more tolerance toward the throughput/delay variation than non-elastic traffic does. In order to efficiently utilize the system resource from an admission control perspective, a TCP-aware CAC scheme is proposed to regulate the packet-level dynamics of TCP flows.
