Traffic model of LTE using maximum flow algorithm with binary search technique
This addresses traffic management challenges for LTE network operators, but it is incremental as it adapts existing algorithms to a specific domain.
The authors tackled the problem of determining link capacity in LTE networks due to increased data traffic and lack of centralized controllers by applying a maximum flow algorithm with binary search technique, resulting in graphical throughput analysis under QPSK and 16-QAM modulation schemes.
Inrecent time a rapid increase in the number of smart devices and user applications have generated an intensity volume of data traffic from/to a cellular network. So the Long Term Evaluation(LTE)network is facing some issuesdifficulties ofthebase station and infrastructure in terms of upgrade and configuration becausethere is no concept of BSC (Base Station Controller) of 2G and RNC (Radio Network Controller) of 3G to control several BTS/NB. Only 4G (LTE) all the eNBs areinterconnected for traffic flow from UE (user equipment) to core switch. Determination of capacity of a linkof such a network is a challenging job since each node offers its own traffic andat the same time conveys traffic of other nodes.In this paper, we apply maximum flow algorithm including the binary search techniqueto solve the traffic flow of radio networkandinterconnected eNBs of the LTE network.
