Summary: 
Radio resource is the bottleneck for current multimedia wireless networks. Intelligent traffic control strategies can be enforced to optimize resource allocation so as to enhance network performance. In this study, dynamic control scheme for non-real-time traffic and autonomic control schemes for multimedia traffic are proposed to guarantee the required quality of service (QoS) in the inference-dominated high-speed wireless environment. Both handoff priority and terminal mobility are also taken into consideration. The performance of the state-dependent multidimensional birth-death process is derived by the efficient matrix-analytic methods (MAMs). Compared with the previous results, this paper shows that the proposed control methods can be used for both real-time and non-real-time multimedia traffic in order to meet the required performance without degrading the quality of multimedia services. These results are also important for the design of evolving multimedia wireless systems as well as network optimization.
