Stochastic user behaviour modelling and network simulation for resource management in cooperation with mobile telecommunications and broadcast networks

摘要

The latest generations of telecommunications networks have been designed to deliver high data rates, providing flexible communication capabilities that can enable high-quality video images. However, these new generations of telecommunications networks are interference-limited, impairing their performance in cases of heavy traffic and high usage. One way to lift this constraint would be for the mobile telecommunications network operators to obtain the cooperation of a broadcast network operator so that at times when the service demand is too high, the service can be transferred to the broadcast network. This paper proposes a way for UMTS network operators to forecast the traffic associated with high-demand services intended to be deployed on the UMTS network and when demand requires to transfer it to a cooperating DVB-T network. The paper aims to justify cooperation between UMTS and DVB-T networks clearly showing how using a DVB-T network as a support to UMTS can increase the revenue generated by both networks.
