A traffic load balancing method for component-based service platform with heterogeneous wireless access networks

Abstract

To guarantee the quality of service is one of the most important problems in ICT (Information Communication Technology) area. Therefore, we had proposed a service platform which integrates service control and network control by componentization of distributed objects. On the other hand, with advances of wireless communication technologies, users eager to have network services with a mobile terminal. However, this platform does not consider any wireless access networks. In this paper, we extend the platform to support mobile terminals with heterogeneous wireless access networks and also propose a traffic load balancing method on them for bandwidth guaranteed services. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated by simulation experiments.
