In wireless media, congestion is usual phenomenon that arises due abruptly raised subscribers demand to establish connections congruently in particular cell at mean real time. Generally, the congestion problem occurs in cellular network traffic and almost persists in every generation. Every mobile network operators is facing this problem every day and struggling to resolve this issue but not being success yet.  As more advance cellular devices are being in demand and its users are also being increasing which turns to demand larger bandwidth requirements from cellular subscriber. Presently for cellular network, both at infrastructures level and manual configuration, the network management strategy founds to be inefficient to resolve these issues effective way. While trying to resolve, at certain critical peak hours and occasions, situation gets worse. Since, every cellular operator are being facing strong criticism from both user and regulating authorities on this issue. An effort from subscriber’s end is to done only minor infrastructural changes to operate and maintain the network at low cost which found to ineffective and being failed to handle the communication demands of higher Quality of Service (QoS). One way of handling congestion would be through hardware amendment like sectorial design, cell partition, or some software enabled functions use to organize to automate the configuration, optimize and maintenance of cellular networks, But these changes involves heavy investment by subscriber which in turns to cost from user for its services. Concerning on this unresolved issue, our prime motive is to forward innovative effort work that could effectively and sustainable to manage the congestion for long duration. In this paper, we first review the various load sharing and balancing techniques those are used to resolve traffic congestion occurrences in mobile networks. And further  presents  an algorithm  design  that would helpful to develop  a  reliable,  flexible,  highly  efficient  load balancing and sharing system. The system based on proposed schema could manage the cell network resources with special emphasis techniques having suitable self optimization feature for future wireless cellular networks.

The Thesis is concerned with assessing the suitability of LTE (4G) cellular networks for the remote control of low-flying UAVs. To solve this problem, an approach to the analysis of the delay values in cellular networks has been developed, which makes it possible to estimate the delays of individual cells and overall cellular network. Requirements for delays in the UAV control channel were developed, conclusions were drawn about the suitability of the LTE network as a communication solution for the UAV remote control. A method for calculating the effect of parallel redundancy is proposed, and an experimental assessment of the possibility of using two existing solutions for parallel redundancy in LTE networks is carried out. In addition, a compact technical solution for analyzing the level of base station signals was demonstrated.

Limitation of wireless resources is the main obstacle for meeting the widespread demands in the cellular network technology. The crisis of resources is further augmented when reservation is made for supporting the migrating users from the neighbouring cells. Many mobility support advanced technologies and mobile communications protocols have been developed to optimally utilize wireless resources. Some policies support the heterogeneous access technologies for multimedia services in mobile networks. Some other policies exploit the mobility information from the current and neighbouring cells to dynamically adjust the key components of resource management such as resource reservation, resource allocation, and call admission control policy to adapt quickly with network traffic changes. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of various methods to explain the mechanisms for managing these key components of resource management for cellular networks.

The meteoric rise of smart devices in dominating worldwide consumer electronics market complemented with data-hungry mobile applications and widely accessible heterogeneous networks e.g. 3G, 4G LTE and Wi-Fi, have elevated Mobile Internet from a ‘nice-to-have' to a mandatory feature on every mobile computing device. This has spurred serious data traffic congestion on mobile networks as a consequence. The nature of mobile network traffic today is more like little Data Tsunami, unpredictable in terms of time and location while pounding the access networks with waves of data streams. This chapter explains how Big Data analytics can be applied to understand the Device-Network-Application (DNA) dimensions in annotating mobile connectivity routine and how Simplify, a seamless network discovery solution developed at Nextwave Technology, can be extended to leverage crowd intelligence in predicting and collaboratively shaping mobile data traffic towards achieving real-time network congestion control. The chapter also presents the Big Data architecture hosted on Google Cloud Platform powering the backbone behind Simplify in realizing its intelligent traffic steering solution.

Disturbance and disaster scenarios prevent the normal utilization of mobile networks. The aim of this study is to maintain the availability of cellular networks in disturbance scenarios. In order to extend the disaster time functionality, energy usage optimization is needed to maintain reasonable coverage and capacity. Simulations performed with different network layouts show the effects of choosing only a portion of evolved node B (eNB) macrosites to operate at a time. Different sets of three to nine three-sectored eNB sites are selected to study how the network would perform with a limited number of eNB sites. Simulation results show how the mobile network availability duration can be sustained by selecting a set of eNB sites to operate at a time and still maintain a reasonable service level and availability in disturbance scenarios. An increase of 100% to 500% can be achieved in the duration of “backup coverage” in cellular networks with backup batteries when the percentage of active eNB sites is reduced down to 20%.

The trend of mobile networks 5G is growing with the increase in the number of users and the speed of transmission. Many operators are turning to small cellular and internal coverage of telecommunication network services. Due to the emergence of software-specific network technologies and virtualization of network functions, the ISP can deploy its networks more flexibly and dynamically. In addition to changing the model for deploying a wireless mobile network, it also determines the tendency for micro-operators to develop (μO). Communication operators can provide regional network services through public buildings, shopping malls or industrial facilities. In addition, localized network services are provided and bandwidth consumption is reduced. The distributed μO architecture meets the computing requirements for applications, data, and services from the cloud data center to the peripheral network devices or the micro-data center μO. The μO service model is able to reduce network latency in response to applications with a low latency for the future 5G boundary computing environment. This article discusses the design of the micro-operator 5G and proposes a mechanism for redirecting flows based on the decision tree (DTBFR) to redirect traffic flows to neighboring service nodes. The DTBFR mechanism allows different microcontrollers to share network resources and accelerate the development of border computing in the future.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) services are widely used in the present corporate world to securely interconnect geographically distributed private network segments through unsecure public networks. Among various VPN techniques, Internet Protocol (IP)-based VPN services are dominating due to the ubiquitous use of IP-based provider networks and the Internet. Over last few decades, the usage of cellular/mobile networks has increased enormously due to the rapid increment of the number of mobile subscribers and the evolvement of telecommunication technologies. Furthermore, cellular network-based broadband services are able to provide the same set of network services as wired Internet services. Thus, mobile broadband services are also becoming popular among corporate customers. Hence, the usage of mobile broadband services in corporate networks demands to implement various broadband services on top of mobile networks, including VPN services. On the other hand, the all- IP-based mobile network architecture, which is proposed for beyond-LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks, is fuel to adapt IP-based VPN services in to cellular networks. This chapter is focused on identifying high-level use cases and scenarios where IP-based VPN services can be implemented on top of cellular networks. Furthermore, the authors predict the future involvement of IP-based VPNs in beyond-LTE cellular networks.

Networking connectivity is increasingly based on wireless network technologies, especially in developing nations where the wired network infrastructure is not accessible to a large segment of the population. Wireless data network technologies based on 2G and 3G are quite common globally; 4G-based deployments are on the rise during the past few years. At the same time, the increasing high-bandwidth and low-latency requirements of mobile applications has propelled the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards organization to develop standards for the next generation of mobile networks, based on recent advances in wireless communication technologies. This standard is called the Fifth Generation (5G) wireless network standard. This paper presents a high-level overview of the important architectural components, of the advanced communication technologies, of the advanced networking technologies such as Network Function Virtualization and other important aspects that are part of the 5G network standards. The paper also describes some of the common future generation applications that require low-latency and high-bandwidth communications.
