© 2012 IEEE. Licensed-assisted-access (LAA) is used to extend the LTE link into the unlicensed band. How to guarantee the quality-of-service (QoS) for LTE devices in the unlicensed band is a challenging problem due to the listen-before-talk contention access in 5-GHz unlicensed bands. In this letter, we quantitatively analyze the medium access control delay for tagged LAA eNBs and propose a delay-guaranteed admission control scheme. We consider the freezing time of busy slots caused by collision or successful transmission, and introduce the exponential backoff mechanism for delay analysis. Validated by simulation results, our method provides important insights into the system admission performance and fairness of access.
