Why is it important?

Over last few years, there has been an exponential increase in the amount of traffic transmitted over cellular network. Importantly, with humongous increase in the Wi-Fi hotspots across many places, subscribers tend to manually switch from cellular to Wi-Fi network. However, in this process, the operator loses the visibility of subscribers, is not able to control the congestion in network and importantly, is not able to provide a guaranteed quality of experience (QoE) to the subscribers

Perspectives

an adaptive dichotomic classification based mechanism is proposed and investigated for offloading the cellular subscribers to Wi-Fi network, while keeping the computational complexity to less than O(log(n)) where n is the number of nodes in a binary tree. Further, an algorithm is proposed for intelligent selection of subscriber profile that would enable faster completion of the offloading process. An extensive simulation of the proposed algorithm and comparison with state-of-the-art mechanisms reveal up to seven time reduction in computational time; with additional performance increase occurring with increasing number of subscribers.
