Load balancing mechanisms for indoor temporarily overloaded heterogeneous femtocell networks

Data Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Dynamic Networks

Data load balancing is a challenging task in the P2P systems. Distributed hash table (DHT) abstraction, heterogeneous nodes, and non uniform distribution of objects are the reasons to cause load imbalance in structured P2P overlay networks. Previous works solved the load balancing problem by assuming the homogeneous capabilities of nodes, unawareness of the link latency during transferring load...

Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Cellular Networks

A decentralized load balancing algorithm for heterogeneous wireless access networks

Modern mobile devices (e.g., laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc.) are capable to run a wide set of different applications, with increasing throughput demands. At the same time, those devices are equipped with a set of heterogeneous interfaces to wireless access networks (e.g., Wi-Fi, UMTS/LTE-A, WiMAX, etc.). This paper proposes a decentralized load balancing algorithm based on game theory (and...

A Network Architecture for Load Balancing of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

The traditional centralized load balancing had a relatively low reliability, and the distributed load balancing had a huge overhead. To solve these problems, this paper mapped heterogeneous wireless networks to distributed grids by introducing Resource Management Unit, and then presented a hierarchical semi-centralized architecture for load balancing of heterogeneous wireless networks drawing o...

Distributed Load Balancing Algorithms for Heterogeneous Players in Asynchronous Networks

In highly scalable networks, such as grid and cloud computing environments and the Internet itself, the implementation of centralized policies is not feasible. Thus, nodes in such networks act according to their interests. One problem with these networks is load balancing. This paper considers load balancing in networks with heterogeneous nodes, that is, nodes with different processing power, a...
