Abstract

This paper proposes efficient resource allocation techniques for a domain-based wireless/wireline interworking architecture. Resource allocation is driven by the service level agreement (SLA). Each wireless domain can freely choose its internal resource management schemes to guarantee the customer access SLA (CASLA), while the border-crossing traffic is served by a DiffServ/MPLS core network according to the transit domain SLA (TRSLA). Specifically, we propose an engineered priority scheme for a cellular wireless domain, where the CASLA for each service class is met with efficient resource utilization and the interdomain TRSLA bandwidth requirement can be obtained conveniently. In the transit domain, the traffic load fluctuation from upstream access domains is tackled with an inter-TRSLA resource sharing technique, where the spare capacity from underloaded TRSLAs can be exploited by the overloaded TRSLAs to improve resource utilization.
