Title: Scheduling Mechanisms with Call Admission Control (CAC) and an Approach with Guaranteed Maximum Delay for
Abstract: The major challenge for the second decade of this century is the implementation of access to high-speed internet, known as broadband internet. With the popularization of access to the global network, it is evident that there will be a reduction of physical barriers to the transmission of knowledge, as well as in transaction costs, and will be instrumental in fostering competitiveness, especially for developing countries. But, wired access to broadband internet has a very high cost and is sometimes impracticable, since the investment needed to deploy cabling throughout a region often outweighs the reduces the service provider's financial gains. One of the possible solutions in reducing the costs of deploying broadband access in areas where such infrastructure is not present is to use wireless technologies, which require no cabling and reduce both implementation time and cost of deployment (Gosh et al., 2005).
