Abstract

Current trends show a growing number of femtocell deployments, this in turn will lead to increased volumes of voice traffic being transmitted through fixed broadband access networks such as Digital Subscriber Line. In this paper the issue of maintaining call quality through the resource constraint expedited forwarding queue of DSLAMs is investigated. A quality based Call Admission Control and resource allocation mechanism is provided to avoid resource overloading and call quality degradation. The ITU-T's E-Model is used for call quality monitoring and a message exchange interface between the mobile and fixed networks which allows dynamic adjustment to network resources is described and simulated. The results show that high voice call quality can be maintained.
