Wi-Fi a simple and efficient way for offloading data traffic in mobile networks

Enhancing Wi-fi with Ieee 802.11u for Mobile Data Offloading

Apart from voice services, data made its foray in cellular networks with 2.5G networks. Today, with 3G network already in place, the data requirements of mobile subscribers is very high. With the increasing demand for mobile internet and rich data services such as streaming media for audio and video, this data requirement is expected to multifold in near future. Correspondingly the network oper...

Offloading Mobile Data Traffic to Wi-Fi Through MASS-ANET: Mobile Assisted Ad-hoc Networking

Massive sales of smartphones and tablets have enabled more people to access the internet with a 3G connection than ever before. Predictions indicate an exponential growth of mobile data traffic world-wide reaching 6.3 exabytes per month by 2015, a 26-fold increase over 2010 [9]. Unfortunately, the current infrastructure will not be able to meet these demands. Already now, a speed reduction or e...

On Practical Aspects of Mobile Data Offloading to Wi-Fi Networks

Data traffic over cellular networks is exhibiting an ongoing exponential growth, increasing by an order of magnitude every year and has already surpassed voice traffic. This increase in data traffic demand has led to a need for solutions to enhance capacity provision, whereby traffic offloading to Wi-Fi is one means that can enhance realised capacity. Though offloading to Wi-Fi networks has mat...

On the Traffic Offloading in Wi-Fi Supported Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

Heterogeneous small cell networks (HetSNet) comprise several low power, low cost (SBSa), (D2D) enabled links wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) access points (APs) to support the existing macrocell infrastructure, decrease over the air signaling and energy consumption, and increase network capacity, data rate and coverage. This paper presents an active user dependent path loss (PL) based traffic offload...
