Admission control in a mobile radio communications system

摘要

Admission control procedures compensate for delays between radio resource grants and releases using predicted measurement values to permit more accurate admission control procedures in a mobile radio communications system. Initially, a measurement value of a radio-related parameter is obtained. The effect a requested radio resource or a recently allocated or de-allocated radio resource will likely have on the measurement value of the radio-related parameter is estimated or predicted. A determination is made whether to allocate additional radio resources based on the measurement value and on the estimated effect. The estimation time period is based on an interval between the time of allocating/de-allocating a radio resource and the time of detecting the effect of that allocated or de-allocated resource on the measurement value.
