Abstract
In cellular wireless networks, the choice of Call Admission Control scheme impacts the performance of the system, particularly as how calls are managed when a mobile user is handed off from one cell to another. Non-prioritized schemes treat handoff calls and new calls equally, while, prioritized schemes give higher priority to handoff calls. In this paper, some of the popular non-prioritized and prioritized Call Admission Control schemes were investigated and their behavior was simulated and analyzed. They are evaluated based on call dropping probability, call blocking probability and system utilization parameters.
