Manages situation when system load exceeds the threshold and some counter measures have to be
taken to get system back to a feasible load.
Handles all new incoming traffic. Check whether new connection can be admitted to the system and
generates parameters for it.
Handles all non real time traffic, (packet data users). It decides when a packet transmission is
initiated and the bit rate to be used.
