Abstract Radio Resource Management (RRM) techniques are used in wireless broadband networks to improve the
utilization of network resources and guaranteeing the Quality of Service (QoS) of different users. Call
Admission Control (CAC) is one of such techniques that has the responsibility of deciding which call connection
to be accepted or rejected by the network. CAC has been in existing since during the 2G network era and
several schemes have been proposed by different researchers. This paper gives an overview of how CAC
procedure works in 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks. Basic Call Admission Control scheme (BCAC), Multi-Service
Call Admission Control (MS-CAC) and Enhanced Adaptive Call Admission control (EA-CAC) schemes were
discussed as the schemes proposed for 2G, 3G and 4G networks respectively. Finally, the paper discusses the
CAC procedure for 5G networks by explaining all the steps involved for a CAC scheme’s decision taking
