The
rapid increase of number of personal wireless communication equipped
devices boosts the user service demands on wireless networks. Thus, the
spectrum resource management in such networks becomes an important topic
in the near future. Notwithstanding, typically, users equipped with
multiple wireless interfaces, thus the access operational scenario is no
longer based on single Radio Access Technology (RAT). In this work, we
studied the heterogeneous wireless communication scenarios, as a joint
cooperative management of different RATs through which network providers
can satisfy as possible as wide variety of user services demands in a
more efficient manner by exploiting their varying characteristics and
properties. To achieve this objective, a Common Radio Resource
Management (CRRM) algorithms and techniques are proposed and designed to
efficiently manage and optimize the radio resources in a heterogeneous
wireless networks. In this context, this work studies and analyzes some
common radio resource management techniques to efficiently distribute
traffic among the available radio access technologies while provid- ing
adequate quality of service levels under heterogeneous traffic
scenarios. The most interesting algorithms have been critically analyzed
and then some in depth investigations with attention on implementations
and techno-economic issues are performed on some of the identified CRRM
algorithms.
