Abstract Drastic increase in mobile broadband traffic is leading to the voluminous demand of growing size and speed of networks. There exists a paradigm shift in network communication and technologies. Thus network coverage is not the prime problem rather capacity management is a prime issue to be tackled by operators. The paper focusses on flow control mechanism based on fuzzy logic. It analyses the dynamic real-life environment for different traffic flows (video, image and data) and calculates the sending rate. It is very important to predict and model the rate at which the packets are being transferred in heterogeneous networks. An intelligent algorithm, fuzzy-controlled traffic steering (FCTS) is introduced in the paper which would help in making a decision for controlling flow rate depending on packet loss thereby controlling packet retransmissions and switching or redirecting traffic to smaller cells based on the flow rate and traffic load on the existing network. Top General terms Flow control, Traffic steering, Mobility management, Congestion detection. Top Keywords Fuzzy controlled trafc steering (FCTS), Flow control, fow rate, packet loss, queue length, bandwidth, delay. Top |
