Abstract
AbstractWi-Fi offloading allows the data traffic, coming from users of smartphones and tablets from congested areas of the 3G/HSDPA network, to be routed over a Wi-Fi network according to certain QoS and congestion parameters. In this paper a way to implement a 3G Wi-Fi offload solution in a cellular network is analyzed. Three offload algorithms that were developed by researchers from different universities are studied. Moreover, network measurements are performed on a real operator network to present current network capabilities to support 3G Wi-Fi offload. The results show that the signal of the two technologies is good enough for a controlled offload, but the network is not yet adapted to support such a transfer.Keywords 3G Wi-FiOffloadAlgorithmTrafficSmartphoneMobile network
