A Simulated Annealing-Based Overload Control Algorithm to Application Servers in Next Generation Electric Communication Networks

Abstract

We study the overload control problem of application server in the next generation electric communication network in this paper. We introduce an energy efficiency overload control algorithm based on simulated annealing. Firstly, by considering the overload control and energy efficiency, we construct the relations function between the input rate control and energy efficiency using rate allocation. Then, we construct the optimal overload control model of energy efficiency by regarding this relation function as objective function and overload control as constraint conditions. Thirdly, we use simulated annealing algorithm to solve this model, and then obtain the optimal solution during the iterative process. The simulation results show that our algorithm is feasible and effective.
