Abstract
At present, the fixed spectrum allocation is the accepted strategy employed by the wireless industry and regulators and a large number of spectrum resources have been wasted because of the traffic load variation in different heterogeneous wireless networks. Through the analysis of recent research about dynamic spectrum allocation (DSA), vertical handoff and multi-mode base stations, the authors have proposed the shared carrier vertical network transformation (SCVNT) algorithm, which is based on minimum total blocking probability (MTBP) or minimum redundant channel difference (MRCD). In order to evaluate the performance of SCVNT, the cellular system model and user mobility model are established, and using fixed channel allocation and dynamic channel allocation in each network, the theoretical analysis and simulation experiments are made in different user mobility conditions, different SCVNT judgment periods and different thresholds of the redundant channel difference. The results indicate that SCVNT can effectively reduce total blocking probability and enhance fairness in heterogeneous wireless networks with good compatibility and applicability.
