A Satisfaction-Based Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Algorithm for Heterogeneous Wireless Network
Qing Yang Song, Ming Hong Yue, Zhaolong Ning · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2012
Due to the limited bandwidth resources, traditional networks can not completely guarantee the Quality of Service (QoS) among users with new class, thus how to allocate network resource effectively becomes a very important problem. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for an integrated cellular/WLAN network, namely Satisfaction-based Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (SDBA) algorithm. The main objective is to guarantee users’ satisfaction through allocating network resource dynamically according to proportional fairness based degradation and one-by-one search based degradation. Numerical results show that our proposed algorithm not only reduces new call blocking probability (NCBP) and handoff call dropping probability (HCDP), but also maintain fairness among users.
