4. 4 Background Wireless communication network introduction Wireless resource allocation method MDP (Markov Decision Process) introduction

5. 5 Wireless communication network introduction

6. 6 Wireless Resource allocation method – 2G ： GSM (Global System for Mobile) It uses Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to access air interface. Divide carrier into multi TDMA frame (4.615ms) and each frame consist of eight time slots (577us). It uses 51-Multiframe (51 TDMA frame).

7. 7 Wireless Resource allocation method – 2G ： GSM (Global System for Mobile) The unit of resources allocation is time slot.

8. 8 Wireless Resource allocation method – 2.5G ： GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The difference between GSM and GPRS is GPRS using 52-Multiframe (52 TDMA frame). There are 4 IDLE frames and 12 Radio Blocks (each block contains 4 continuous frame).

9. 9 Wireless Resource allocation method – 2.5G ： GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The unit of resources allocation is radio block.

10. 10 Wireless Resource allocation method – 3G ： WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) It uses Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) to access air interface and Direct Sequence Spreading Code (DSSC) modulation technique. Each user allocate a orthogonal spreading code produced by OVSF Code (Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor Code) technique. The transmission depends on Spreading Factor.

11. 11 Wireless Resource allocation method – 3G ： WCDMA (OVSF Tree) The unit of resources allocation is SF (4~256).

12. 12 MDP introduction A Markov Decision Process is just like a Markov Process, except the transition depends on the action at each time step. A system’s state has various options (actions) to choose from, and each option associates a “reward”. The goal is to find a optimal policy, which specifies which action to take in each state, so as to maximize rewards. (solved by LP)

13. 13 Outline Motivation Background Multimedia Streaming Service Call admission Control for Single-Media Numerical Results Conclusion

14. 14 Streaming Streaming is a process of playing a file while it is still downloading. And, it uses buffering techniques. When a large media file (audio, video, etc.) is broken into smaller pieces so it can viewed or heard immediately. This avoids the wait for the whole file to be downloaded first. It doesn’t require low delay but low jitter and media synchronization.

15. 15 Multimedia application There are many application using this technique, such as video phone, video-on- demand and interactive video games. These services consume lots of bandwidth resources. Layered encoding (multirate and adaptive) ： A technique to convert a file into a compressed, streaming format. For example, H.263, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4

21. 21 Network model (cont.) Each base station has a total of “C” bandwidth resources and support “k” different types of encoding method (means “k” different rates). We assume that new arriving calls in a cell follow a Poisson process. Both call session time and call dwell time are exponentially distributed and are independent from cells to cells
