“…A proposed solution of traffic load metrics, Running Variance Metric and a Relative Network Load which are used for measuring the traffic load of access points in wireless access networks is discussed in [38]. In another study [39], a resource allocation scheme in cellular networks using a cooperative game theoretic approach at the network level while utilizing simultaneous use of available radio interfaces at the device level is proposed. As it is observed from our simulation results for a combined LTE and IEEE 802.11, higher user throughputs are offered in the LTE network for more combinations of traffic load.…”

Global mobile data traffic consumption and usage continues to increase rapidly leading to congested networks. Currently, cellular networks are overloaded with mobile data traffic due to the rapid growth of mobile broadband subscriptions and the increasing popularity of diversified applications for smartphones with multiple wireless interfaces and the flat-rate pricing model of cellular networks. One possible practical solution to alleviate this problem is the offloading of mobile data traffic from the primary access technology to the WiFi infrastructure to gain extra capacity and improve the overall network performance. As the strategy what and when to offload data is non-trivial, it is of vital importance to develop novel algorithms to guide this process. This paper addresses solutions for network-controlled WiFi offloading in Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular networks when performance needs exceed the capability of the LTE access. It then compares the performance of each access technology using different network performance metrics. In detail, an optimized signal-to-noise ratio-threshold based handover solution and extension to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project standard for Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) framework for WiFi offloading is proposed. Our simulation results have shown that ANDSF discovery can be used to control the amount of WiFi offloading.

“…In addition to the above standards, recent academic works also discuss some problems for the management control layer and the operational control layer. These include cost models and traffic engineering models for QoS-differentiated wholesale access services [12], wireless operator's resource allocation and control schemes in cellular networks at network level [13], the single objective model in minimizing ad-hoc radio network's bandwidth cost under least QoS requirement constraint [14], achieving efficient load balance using game theoretical framework to coordinate the routing on the links by coordinately utilizing the Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) attribute of BGP [15], among others [16], [17].…”

Abstract-This study disseminates the idea of managing the call routing problem in another perspective, which is named as the call-distribution-based view (CDBV). In this study, decision problems for telecommunications routing management are stratified into three classes; external, internal and strategic (perse) by synthesizing two very fundamental theories: systems theory and the theory of management hierarchy. It is identified that for the strategic decisions, the top management of an operator is usually concerned with a main routing decision problem: how to decide an appropriate call distribution portfolio, as to keep the service profitable and to maintain the quality of service. Such problem involves the key performance indices of a voice service operation. It arose with the end of the monopoly in the telecommunications sector, but it is seldom addressed. Accordingly, the CDBV view is proposed to conceptualize the problem and it is shown to have decision analysis functions by a call-distribution decision case. By demonstrating that CDBV underlies an existing linear programming (LP) approach that was designed to decide the call distribution 'scenario', it is also shown to lend theoretical grounds for future problem modeling purpose. Therefore, future generalized models for determining a real optimal call distribution 'portfolio' can be expected.Index Terms-Decision making, outbound portfolio decision, telecommunications operation, call distribution, engineering management doctoral degree.
