Proportional differentiated admission control

This letter presents a new admission control policy inspired in the framework of proportional differentiated services (PDS). While most of previous PDS has focused on average queueing delays and packet drops to differentiate the performance of adaptive applications, the proportional differentiation admission control (PDAC) differentiates inelastic traffic in terms of blocking probabilities. The PDAC is built up using asymptotic approximation theory, employs a class based approach, and conforms with the PDS requirements of predictability and controllability . Numerical experiments confirm a good performance of the approach.
