A dynamic bandwidth allocation solution based on user behavior and software defined EPS

For telecommunication operators, how to improve the utilization of bandwidth resources is always a problem which worthy of study, nowadays, this issue has become more and more important, since the traffic load bursting in the mobile Internet. So the key to solving this problem is that we need to find a kind of traffic model to predict the traffic load that users need. According to the predicted traffic load to allocate bandwidth to each base station dynamically. But the traffic consumption behavior of a single base station is random, it is difficult to predict[1]. For this reason, we based on reality that, when the user moves, it may get traffic load from different base stations, therefore, there will have some kind of relationship between those base stations. We use this relationship to establish a kind of Spatial Collaborative Network. consequently, we make use of stability algorithm to divided those base station cluster into different communities, According to the traffic load usage rules which these communities indicated to us, we get a traffic model. At the same time, we studied how to use this traffic model in the future networks to dynamically allocate bandwidth resources, then we propose a new kind of EPS architecture based on SDN, on this platform, we can deploy our strategy through it's programmable interface. Finally, we designed an experiment to test the performance of our dynamic strategy, and the result shows that our method enables bandwidth utilization has been greatly improved.
