A probabilistic resource estimation and semi-reservation scheme for flow-oriented multimedia wireless networks

Multimedia is imminently expected in the wireless networks. One of the most important and complex issues is quality of service (QoS) guarantees in the 3rd generation wireless networks. The purpose of this paper is to propose a probabilistic resource estimation and semi-reservation scheme in considering the probability of real usage made by the mobile host (MH). This scheme can efficiently improve the connection-blocking probability (CBP), connection-dropping probability (CDP), and bandwidth utilization.
