Abstract
The invention concerns a method for admission control of connections made up of one or several flows to a shared wireless medium. It applies criteria for each new connection to determine whether resources can be provided for this connection. The criteria include the steps of: calculating a number (R) of retransmissions of frames which are needed, depending on: a target application PDU error rate (εi); a data link layer mean error rate (BER); and a maximum size (L) of the transmitted frames; calculating the achievable quality of service parameters (T′i) based on the calculated number (R) of retransmissions with the target application PDU error rate (εi), and determining if resources can be provided for the connection depending on the achievable quality of service parameter (T′i).
