Resource Management for Multimedia Services in Long Term Evaluation Networks

Abstract

Wireless multimedia networks are becoming progressively popular, that provide the mobile phone users to accommodate the access of information and services at any time, any place with different configurations that user's desire. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is one of the quickest developing technology which support a variety of applications like video conferencing, video streaming, VoIP, file transfer, web browsing etc. Radio Resource Management (RRM) procedure is one of the key configuration part for enhancing the system performance. The admission control is one of the Resource management mechanisms, the task of admission control is to admit or reject the establishment request for the new session. In this chapter, we will provide an overview of the resource management and analyze the Media Degradation Path (MDP) and non MDP based admission control algorithms in the LTE network and compare the session establishment success. This chapter also enables for reader to know the current and future trend of research on resource management of multimedia services in LTE networks.
