Soft Computing Technique Based Call Admission Control Decision Mechanism
AbstractThe decision Mechanism is the concluding phase of any decision making process. This paper discusses on the different methodologies available for implementing the decision mechanisms. The paper preambles with a brief description on set of conventional Multi criteria Decision Mechanisms (MCDM) like Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Simple Additive weighting Method (SAW) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), Grey Rational Analysis (GRA) along with benefits and limitations of each technique. The different intelligent/soft computing techniques that are widely used in decision making processes like fuzzy logic, neural networks are discussed and finally confines the discussions to the different neural network (NN) based decision support systems. The paper proposes a fuzzy neural network based architecture for call admission control decision mechanism in a heterogeneous wireless network environment.KeywordsAnalytical Hierarchy ProcessTOPSISGrey Rational AnalysisFuzzy neural networks
