Resource Management for Multimedia Services in Long Term Evaluation Networks

Abstract

Long-term evolution (LTE) is one of the quickest developing technologies that support a variety of applications like video conferencing, video streaming, VoIP, file transfer, and web browsing. Radio resource management (RRM) procedure is one of the key configuration parts 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, the authors 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.
