Abstract

This paper analyses the possibility to have a dedicated signaling channel for triggering load balancing mechanism based on relevant specific traffic parameters analysis (e.g. throughput, EIRP, Antenna Gain). Compared to classic algorithms, the signaling channel brings the advantage of distributed “effort” between Access Points and Controllers. Experiments were performed with Matlab and the results show the network performance enhancement in terms of Load and Throughput. The proposed signaling channel shows effectiveness of the load distribution enhancing also the network performance.
