Device-to-Device (D2D) technology underlying the cellular network is an attractive solution for future generation network to increase cellular traffic offloading. When two devices are close enough, D2D communication allows a direct communication between them without the mediation of the cellular base station. However, since D2D communication shares the same uplink cellular network radio resource,...
Traffic offloading is an attractive solution for the operators to increase the system radio capacity in the future cellular networks. Device to Device (D2D) technology helps achieve this goal by allowing direct communication between closely located user devices. However, as D2D devices transmit on the cellular network uplink bandwidth, the communication mode selection should be properly studied in...
Offloading a part of cellular traffic through other kinds of networks, such as Wi-Fi hotspots and femtoCells represents an interesting solution for operators to cope with the high user traffic demand increase. In this paper, we propose to use the Vehicular ad hoc Networks (VANETs) for the same purpose. We present an analytical study based on an optimization problem formulation to evaluate the potential...
In this work, we investigate upon the potential of considering the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for cellular traffic offloading as an alternative to Wi-Fi and femtoCells approaches. We propose an analytical study based on an optimization problem formulation called VOPP where the objective is to elect the maximum number of data flows that could be routed to the downloaders through the Vehicular...
