Call admission control (CAC) is a technique deployed in the management of network resources in mobile broadband networks. Despite its importance, the WiMAX technology like most mobile broadband networks does not make provision for CAC, making it an open area of research. A dynamic QoS-Aware Call Admission Control (DQACAC) scheme was recently proposed to improve resource utilization and ensure QoS. Several simulation experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the DQA-CAC against other CAC algorithms. The results of the simulation indicated that the DQA-CAC outperformed the existing CAC schemes in terms of reduced new connection blocking rate.  However, the evaluation failed to consider other performance metrics like resource utilization and throughput that are also very crucial in the real-world scenario. This paper therefore attempts to improve the performance of the DQA-CAC by investigating its performance in terms of additional metrics like the average system throughput and resource utilization that further mimic the real-world experience. A Java based discrete event simulator designed for the study was used and the simulation results indicate that the DQA-CAC algorithm outperforms the existing CAC algorithms in terms of improved per-flow throughput, average system throughput and resource utilization in addition to reducing the connection blocking rate.
