Traffic Steering Framework for Mobile-Assisted Resource Management in Heterogeneous Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the expected growth of mobile data traffic it is essential to manage the network resources efficiently. In order to undertake this challenge, we propose a framework for network-centric, mobile-assisted resource management, which facilitates traffic offloading from mobile network to Wi-Fi or open access small cells. A provision of desired quality of experience to the end-user is carried out by an operator-configurable monitoring application that is running on a mobile device. A potential to enhance network-centric resource management is provided by delegating traffic steering authorities to the network backbone. What is more, we give an overview of existing standardization activities on offloading the mobile traffic through Wi-Fi. Keywords—Heterogenous Networks; Network Centric; Resource Management; Offloading

Integrated mobility and resource management for cross-network resource sharing in heterogeneous wireless networks using traffic offload policies
The problem of efficient use of resources in wireless access networks becomes critical today with users expecting continuous high-speed network access. While access network capacity continues to increase, simultaneous operation of multiple wireless access networks presents an opportunity to increase the data rates available to end-users even further using intelligent cross-network resource shar...
متن کاملResource Allocation Schemes in Integrated Heterogeneous Wireless and Mobile Networks
Wireless and mobile networks have experienced a great success in the past few years. However, any single type of wireless and mobile network cannot meet all types of service requirements. For example, no single type of existing wireless and mobile network can provide both wide coverage and high bandwidth services. In order to provide more comprehensive services, an integrated heterogeneous wire...
متن کاملReal-time traffic support in heterogeneous mobile networks
Multi-hop mobile wireless networks have been proposed for a variety of applications where support for real-time multimedia services will be necessary. Support for these applications requires that the network is able to offer quality of service (QoS) appropriate for the latency and jitter bounds of the real-time application constraints. In this paper, we analyze the primary challenges of realizi...

متن کاملBandwidth Management Framework for IP based Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) the wireless links are error prone in nature and the mobile devices are highly mobile, therefore traditional Internet QoS protocols like RSVP cannot be easily migrated to the wireless environment. The management of bandwidth is critical to establish session guarantees for traffic flows. This paper examines the challenges of incorporating scalable bandwidth man...
