Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for controlling the admission of a flow to a network, particularly a WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) network, wherein an estimation of maximum capacity required within a link of the network and/or within the network will be performed for examining, whether the flow requesting to enter the network with at least one QoS (Quality of Service) reservation of resources can be admitted, by finding first sets of intersections between all pairs of QoS reservations, i.e. the QoS reservations already accepted within the link and/or within the network and the at least one QoS reservation requested by the flow. The method is characterized by structuring the found sets of intersections by building a matrix of intersections of QoS reservations and—based on the matrix—deriving the rest of the sets of intersections between the intersections found, based on information obtained regarding the QoS reservations involved in each intersection.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for controlling admission of a flow to a WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) network, the method comprising: estimating a maximum capacity required within a link of the network and/or within the network, determining whether the flow requesting to enter the network with at least one QoS (Quality of Service) reservation of resources can be admitted, by finding first sets of intersections between all pairs of QoS reservation…
