Summary:A method and apparatus for admission control in a communication system. An Access Network (AN) element determines available resources. When available resources are sufficient to support the requirements of a requested application flow, the AN admits the application flow. The AN periodically, and on trigger events, updates a measure of available resources. The admission control may operate in coordination with a scheduler applying a compensation factor to each flow type, and a compensation factor for aggregate flows of a given user.
