Abstract: Interference costs on virtual radio interfaces can be modeled as a function of loading in a wireless network to estimate changes in spectral efficiency and/or resource availability that would result from a provisioning decision. In one example, this modeling is achieved through cost functions that are developed from historical and/or simulated resource cost data corresponding to the wireless network. The cost data may include interference data, spectral efficiency data, and/or loading data for various links over a common period of time (e.g., a month, a year, etc.), and may be analyzed and/or consolidated to obtain correlations between interference costs and loading on the various links in the network. As an example, a cost function may specify an interference cost on one virtual link as a function of loading on one or more neighboring virtual links.

Abstract: Predicting mobile station migration between geographical locations of a wireless network can be achieved using a migration probability database. The database can be generated based on statistical information relating to the wireless network, such as historical migration patterns and associated mobility information (e.g., velocities, bin location, etc.). The migration probability database consolidates the statistical information into mobility prediction functions for estimating migration probabilities/trajectories based on dynamically reported mobility parameters. By example, mobility prediction functions can compute a likelihood that a mobile station will migrate between geographic regions based on a velocity of the mobile station. Accurate mobility prediction may improve resource provisioning efficiency during admission control and path selection, and can also be used to dynamically adjust handover margins.

Abstract: Hierarchical Software Defined Network (SDN) architectures can be used to reduce complexity of traffic engineering in large or divers network environments. In hierarchical SDN architectures, a network is sub-divided into multiple regions, and each region is assigned to a different SDN controller. Network status information is collected and consolidated at a regional level, and fed upstream through the SDN control plane until it reaches a root SDN controller. The root-SDN controller computes cost-based parameters, which are distributed to regional SDN controllers for local provisioning. The cost-based parameters can include Lagrangian variables estimations or other parameters that constrain regional traffic engineering optimization in a manner that advances global traffic engineering objectives.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for implementing traffic engineering (TE) using link buffer status. The link buffer status for each link is used to identify links with buffer build-ups. One or more of the capacity and resource parameters at the links with buffer build-ups are then reserved. This is achieved by modifying the capacity and resource input parameters to the TE model according to the level of build-ups in the link buffers, as reflected by the buffer status information from the links and nodes. The modified input capacity or resource parameters are then fed to a TE engine to calculate the routing of traffic across all links and paths. As such, the reserved capacity or resource is considered in the TE routing technique to route the traffic accordingly, leading to the depletion of link buffers with build-ups at all or multiple considered paths at the same time.
