    In this article, we bring forward the important aspect of energy savings in wireless access networks. We specifically focus on the energy saving opportunities in the recently evolving heterogeneous networks (HetNets), both Single- RAT and Multi-RAT. Issues such as sleep/wakeup cycles and interference management are discussed for co-channel Single-RAT HetNets. In addition to that, a simulation based study for LTE macro-femto HetNets is presented, indicating the need for dynamic energy efficient resource management schemes. Multi-RAT HetNets also come with challenges such as network integration, combined resource management and network selection. Along with a discussion on these challenges, we also investigate the performance of the conventional WLAN-first network selection mechanism in terms of energy efficiency (EE) and suggest that EE can be improved by the application of intelligent call admission control policies

    The efficiency of wireless technology depends upon the seamless connectivity to the user at anywhere any time.Heterogeneous wireless networks are an integration of different networks with diversified technologies. The most essential requirement for Seamless vertical handover is that the received signal strength should always be healthy. Mobile device enabled with multiple wireless technologies makes it possible to maintain seamless connectivity in highly dynamic environment.Since the available bandwidth is limited and the number of users is growing rapidly, it is a real challenge to maintain the received signal strength in a healthy stage.In this work, the proposed, cost effective parametric estimation for vertical handover shows that the received signal strength maintains a healthy level by considering the novel concept.Comment: 5 Pages,3 figures, NCCCS-12,ISBN:978-1-4673-2837-

    QoS Based Capacity Enhancement for WCDMA Network with Coding Scheme

    Full text link
    The wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA) based 3G and beyond cellular mobile wireless networks are expected to provide a diverse range of multimedia services to mobile users with guaranteed quality of service (QoS). To serve diverse quality of service requirements of these networks it necessitates new radio resource management strategies for effective utilization of network resources with coding schemes. Call admission control (CAC) is a significant component in wireless networks to guarantee quality of service requirements and also to enhance the network resilience. In this paper capacity enhancement for WCDMA network with convolutional coding scheme is discussed and compared with block code and without coding scheme to achieve a better balance between resource utilization and quality of service provisioning. The model of this network is valid for the real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) services having different data rate. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the network using convolutional code in terms of capacity enhancement and QoS of the voice and video services.Comment: 10 Pages, VLSICS Journa
