Abstract :
We consider the problem of throughput maximization in circuit-switched networks, subject to quality of service (QoS) constraints on circuit blocking probability. We formulate an associated nonlinear optimization problem, which incorporates nonlinear inequality constraints, and develop a technique for guiding the search more directly toward the optimal solution. The resulting algorithm leads to faster and more reliable convergence over a variety of network instances
