Abstract
In the next generation of wireless networks, the entire network operating on different radio frequencies under wireless mode will be available for communication. The rapidly growing demand for “any service – anywhere - anytime” high-speed access to IP-based services is becoming one of the major challenges for mobile networks. However, in several situations, mobile terminals tend to associate with networks guaranteeing the best performances to stay “Always Best Connected” which leads to overload the most attractive technology while keeping the others technologies underutilized. As a recent research focus, load balancing is one of the key technologies in the convergence of heterogeneous wireless networks. Load balancing is a significant method to achieve the resource sharing over heterogeneous wireless networks, and it can improve resource utilization, enlarge system capacity, as well as provide better services for users. When dealing with high speed traffic over heterogeneous, we propose a load balancing algorithm using novel approach. For wireless packet network, this novel load metric is based on the packet scheduling and the radio link quality information. The solution can be used in on-line system because it requires less computation time and it operates in a distributed way instead of a usual centralized way. The two main targets of the proposed algorithm are the admission control and the network initiated handover. Further we have to investigate the joint load balancing and resource allocation optimization in heterogeneous networks.
