Robust dynamic admission control for unified cell and call QoS in statistical multiplexers.

The design of connection admission control (CAC) for a simple Markovian model of a multiservice statistical multiplexer is considered. The paper begins by laying the foundation through several fundamental analytic concepts, such as a semi-Markov decision process formulation of the design problem and...
