Abstract:
1. A communication session admission control system comprising: a state monitor adapted for monitoring voice communication signal quality in a communication system; and an admission control module operatively coupled to the state monitor and adapted for controlling admission of a communication session into the communication system based on a random admission control procedure and current voice communication signal quality in the communication system, wherein at least one of the state monitor and the admission control module is implemented using hardware, wherein the communication system comprises a plurality of gateways operatively coupled to each other and to respective communication stations between which communication sessions may be established through the gateways, wherein the state monitor is adapted for monitoring voice communication signal quality on one or more connections between gateways of the plurality of gateways, wherein the admission control module is adapted for controlling admission of a communication session to be established between first and second gateways of the plurality of gateways based on the random admission control procedure and current voice communication signal quality on a connection between the first and second gateways, wherein monitoring the voice communication signal quality comprises monitoring delay of a communication session.
