Abstract

We present a scheme for flow management with heterogeneous access technologies available indoors and in a campus network such as GPRS, 3G and Wi-Fi. Statistical learning is used as a key for optimizing a target variable namely video quality of experience (QoE). First we analyze the data using passive measurements to determine relationships between parameters and their impact on the main performance indicator, video Quality of Experience (QoE). The derived weights are used for performing prediction in every discrete time interval of our designed autonomic control loop to know approximately the QoE in the next time interval and perform a switch to another access technology if it yields a better QoE level. This user-perspective performance optimization is in line with operator and service provider goals. QoE performance models for slow vehicular and pedestrian speeds for Wi-Fi and 3G are derived and compared.
