Femtocell networks have been proposed for indoor communications as the extension of cellular networks for enhancing coverage performance. Because femtocells have small coverage radius, typically from 15 to 30 meters, a femtocell user (FU) walking at low speed can still make several femtocell-to-femtocell handovers during its connection. When performing a femtocell-to-femtocell handover, femtocell selection used to select the target handover femtocell has to be able not only to reduce unnecessary handovers and but also to support FU’s quality of service (QoS). In the paper, we propose a femtocell selection scheme for femtocell-tofemtocell handover, named Mobility Prediction and Capacity Estimation based scheme (MPCE-based scheme), which has the advantages of the mobility prediction and femtocell’s available capacity estimation methods. Performance results obtained by computer simulation show that the proposed MPCE-based scheme can reduce unnecessary femtocell-tofemtocell handovers, maintain low data delay and improve the throughput of femtocell users.

AbstractOptical label switching is introduced for ensuring fast data transfer, quality of service (QoS) support, and better resource management. However, the important issue is how to optimize resource usage and satisfy traffic constraints for improving network performance and design. This paper proposes a dynamic approach that optimizes the resource in terms of link capacity and FDL (fiber delay line) buffering as well as a wavelength converter. The proposed approach decreases the resources usage and guarantees QoS support for various traffic demands. The optimization strategy consists of two stages: path building and traffic management. The path building assures logical topology making using the cumulative cost of available resource and traffic requirements including unicast and multicast. The traffic management solves the resource formulation problem during the traffic transfer by guaranteeing the required loss and blocking delay. Simulation work is conducted for validating the proposed approach and evaluating its performances and effectiveness. Simulation results show that our proposal minimizes effectively the use of link capacity of lightpath and light-tree. Moreover, our approach optimizes the use of buffering capacity and wavelength converter and guarantees QoS support according to traffic requirements.
