Summary: 
This paper proposes radio resource control scheme for ABR service that execute flow-control on the transmission rate and assignable bandwidth according to the congestion conditions in both wireless and wired networks. The proposed scheme is useful in improving frequency utilization and meeting the QoS requirements. There are two methods to realize the proposed scheme: explicit rate control (ERC) and binary control (BC). We estimate the performance of the proposed scheme by simulation in comparison with a scheme without flow control in a wireless network under the conditions of a finite buffer, wired network congestion, and RM-cell errors. Consequently, we confirm that the proposed scheme is more effective than the scheme without flow-control under all service conditions. In addition, we clarify that both ERC and BC are effective under the conditions of a finite buffer, wired network congestion, and RM-cell errors.
