Introduction • The main goal of the study is to analyse non-uniformly traffic distributed scenarios. • It is important to be able to maintain the target QoS. • All alternatives should be taken into account before deploying hotspot WLAN networks. • Assessment of RRM strategies becomes necessary to deal with high traffic density areas (hotspots). • Is it possible to dynamically react to environment changes?
a R D Simulation Environment • A single isolated cell (radius R). • A traffic hotspot with radius r and placed D meters from base station. • Ttotal=THS+TNo HS • THS=αTtotal • TNo HS=(1-α)Ttotal • Only videophone users considered • Propagation model: • Lp(d)=Lo+ log(d) where

Results Impact of traffic distribution (5/5) • No hotspot users BLER is maintained when increasing • Total BLER grows as is increased. • As D increases, total BLER increases. • Hotspot users BLER grows for large D. • No hotspot users BLER is lower for high D.

Results Call Admission Control design (2/3) Admission threshold may be determined with Path Loss statistics (Cumulative density function) : Outage probability = 0.5 % BLER ≈ 1.3 % BLER can be maintained by adjusting max
Results Call Admission Control design (3/3) Maintaining low BLER with hotspots leads to an admission probability decrease.
Conclusions and Future Work • In non-uniformly distributed traffic scenarios, without applying CAC, hotspots with high D and cause a QoS degradation. • Suitable admission control threshold (max) can be determined if path loss statistics are known. • Maintaining low BLER implies an admission probability decrease. • Future work will be focused on dynamic hotspot detection. • Design and assessment of adapted RRM strategies will determine if it is necessary to include a hotspot WLAN .
