Call admission control (CAC) is one important QoS mechanism for maintaining performance of streaming media services. In this paper, we propose a novel CAC algorithm, which handles long-lived and short-lived streams differently to satisfy their different QoS requirements. Under such mechanism, we show that not only one can guarantee the quality of each stream, but also improve the system utilization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
