Admission Control Methods in IMS Networks

Abstract

The article deals with solving the problem of ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) in IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) networks. Admission Control methods (AC) are used to prevent network congestion and the decrease of QoS. The main function of AC is to maximize utilization of network resources and to ensure the level of QoS. Four methods were chosen for comparison. These methods are described in the main part of the article. The last part deals with simulations of these methods in the software MATLAB.
