Admission control is one of the key elements for ensuring the quality of service (QoS) in modern mobile wireless networks. Since such networks are resource constrained, supporting multimedia traffic guaranteeing its QoS levels is excessively challenging for call admission control (CAC) design. CAC is the most important radio resource management (RRM) function in wireless networks as its efficiency has a direct impact on network performance and QoS provision to end users. The goal of this chapter is to provide a thorough study of the basic concepts considering CAC design and a comprehensive analysis of the fundamental CAC schemes employed in wireless networks. The basic performance criterion considering CAC schemes is the probability of denying the access to the network for an arriving call, which is extensively studied in this chapter. Moreover, additional performance criteria are presented and discussed, which may help to provide an overall efficiency estimation of the available CAC schemes.
