Abstract
High user mobility coupled with high bandwidth demands and bursty nature of traffic is expected in beyond 3G cellular access networks. Such a scenario leads to the creation of highly congested areas or hot-spots in these cellular access networks. The location and duration of existence of these hot-spots is closely related to the mobility patterns of the users and varies over time. We observe heavy loss, high delay, and congestion in parts of the cellular access network as a result of the mobility induced load variation, although the network as a whole can support the user load. This paper proposes a novel dynamic network architecture (DNA), which enables better distribution of load and can adapt the network topology dynamically to provide relief to congested areas in the network. Our mechanism outlined here is online, distributed, and does not require advance knowledge of traffic demand.
