Abstract:
1. A method for admission control in wireless communications, comprising: calculating, at an access point (AP), a transmission budget for each user at the AP; calculating a total transmission budget at the AP for all users requiring admission control; receiving a traffic stream admission request at the AP; calculating a medium time value for the traffic stream at the AP, the medium time value being based on the admission request; comparing, at the AP, the medium time value to the transmission budget for the user corresponding to the traffic stream and the total transmission budget; accepting the traffic stream at the AP on a condition that the medium time value is not greater than both the transmission budget for the user corresponding to the traffic stream and the total transmission budget; and rejecting the traffic stream at the AP on a condition that the medium time value is greater than one of the transmission budget for the user corresponding to the traffic stream or the total transmission budget.
