Load Balancing for Centralized Wireless Networks
Hong Bong Kim, Adam Wolisz · 2006
Recently, centralized wireless network architecture has been proposed for ef cient system resource management and cost-effectiveness. Radio over ber (or cable) networks and centralized wireless LAN systems are representative instances. However, this architecture requires us to reconsider system level control schemes since most of research efforts in this eld has been focused on distributed network architecture. In this paper, we propose a load balancing scheme for centralized wireless networks using the capability that users in the overlapping area between cells can ef ciently and dynamically be reconnected to one of the accessible base stations by a central control station. A simulation study is done to compare the proposed scheme with conventional load balancing ones, showing the proposed scheme is more ef cient in system resource utilization.
