Abstract

Bandwidth adaptation algorithms (BAA) assume an integral role in radio resource management (RRM) frameworks for future wireless networks. Taking advantage of the nature of adaptive multimedia application, they empower system providers with allocation versatility and economic increase. Due to the dynamic nature to be witnessed in future networks, BAA has been set to be trigger at every change in the system state. This burdens the different entities involved in RRM. In this work, the concept of stochastically triggered BAA (STBAA) is proposed. The tradeoff between admission ratios and users satisfaction is evaluated. It is found that considerable gains can still be achieved with the adaptation not fully engaged
