I. INTRODUCTION Cellular wireless networks have become an important part of the communication infrastructure. It has been selected for implementation in both the North American and European 3G standards. Traditionally, in these wireless access networks, the base stations are connected to radio network controllers or base station controllers by point-to-point links. These links, also called backhaul links, are expensive and their use impressive an ongoing cost on the service providers. In such networks, reliability comes at a high price: by replication of links or controllers. IP RAN has the following advantages: Cost: Point-to-point links, including T1 links, are expensive and cannot be shared. An IP network will benefit from statistical multiplexing gains and could be shared with other wireless and wireless applications. Scalability and Reliability: Replacing point-to-point links by a distributed IP network will provide alternate paths to more than one network controller, thereby improving reliability and scalability. For example, it is shown in [2] that adding a selected few paths between base stations and network controllers results in the majority of the gains in resiliency to failures. Data Applications: Increasingly, a large number of IP based data applications, including Web browsing, email, streaming, and packetized voice (voice over IP) are being offered in wireless networks. Hence, wireless access networks must support IP traffic. An IP RAN efficiently addresses this eventuality.
Abstract WCDMA is an important air interface technologies for wireless networks. As WCDMA based cellular networks fully developed, the current point-topoint links will evolve to an IP-based Radio Access Network (RAN).This Paper present a review of congestion control mechanism using Router control, channel control and admission control method for IP-RAN on WCDMA cellular network. The Router control mechanism uses the features of WCDMA networks using active Queue Management technique to reduce delay and to minimize the correlated losses. The Random Early Detection Active Queue Management scheme (REDAQM) is to be realized for the router control for data transmission over the radio network using routers as the channel. The channel control mechanism control the congestion by dividing the access channel into multiple layer for data accessing. Call Admission Control (CAC) is one of the important methods in the performance evaluation of cellular network of Wideband CDMA. CAC handles different classes of users and type of services. It is the most highlighted part and deals with the resource allocation and resource management. The aim of this paper is improve and enhance the quality of service by generating different congestion control algorithms for multiclass users Keywords Call Admission Control (CAC), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Radio access network (RAN), Active queue management (AQM), Random Early Detection Active Queue Management (REDAQM).

While the use of an IP RAN results in the above advantages, mechanisms must be designed to control IP RAN congestion. Congestion occurs when the offered traffic exceeds the IP RAN capacity. There are essentially three approaches to control and avoid congestion: 1.CALL ADMISSION CONTROL: In WCDMA cellular network bandwidth is varying over time due to inter and intracell interference. To overcome the scarcity of bandwidth in WCDMA, CAC is used. It is the rule to admit requested calls maintaining the quality of service. CAC is basically to make a decision about whether a user should be admitted into the system according to the users quality of service requirements and the current traffic load.

3. DIVERSITY CONTROL: Diversity allows mobile users to smoothly transition their connections from one cell to the next without loosing connectivity or suffering service degradations as is typical in hardhandoff scenarios. Diversity control selectively discards uplink voice radio frames from potentially redundant secondary legs for some mobile users at the base stations in such a way that the voice quality is not noticeably degraded while reducing traffic in the IP RAN to manage congestion. Key challenges in diversity control are the service degradation and restoration policies, which dictate how users are chosen for and freed from diversity control, respectively.
