Interconnection of different access network technologies is an important research topic in mobile telecommunications systems. In this paper, we propose an ns‐3 architecture for simulating the interconnection of wireless local area network (WLAN) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). This architecture is based on the architecture proposed by the Third Generation Partnership Project, being the use of virtual interfaces as its main innovation. In order to demonstrate the value of the proposed simulation framework, we implemented the UMTS and WLAN interconnection considering three joint radio resource management strategies for distributing arriving calls. From the simulations results, we can conclude that the proposed simulation architecture is suitable to test and evaluate performance aspects related to the interconnection and joint management of UMTS and WLAN technologies.

“…Two other strategies commonly used in this context are the load balancing (LBal) and the coverage area (CovAr) strategies, which will be used for comparison with the strategy proposed in this paper. The LBal strategy is characterized by directing calls to the interface with lowest load, maintaining the interfaces balanced [2], [3], [4].…”

Resumo-Este artigo estuda uma nova estratégia de gestão de recursos de rádio em face a dois cenários com diferentes tipos de tráfego. Um cenário considera somente aplicacações com tráfego em tempo real, nomeadamente voz e vídeo. No outro cenário, considera-se tráfego em tempo real e não tempo real concorrentemente. A performance desta nova estratégiaé comparada com outras duas estratégias bem conhecidas e já encontradas na literatura. Esta comparação foi realizado num contexto onde as redes UMTS e WLAN estão interligadas. Nesta comparação a nova estratégia obteve um baixo número de chamadas bloqueadas para os dois tipos de cenários apresentados.Palavras-Chave-Renegociação, Realocação, Gestão de recursos, Redes sem fios heterogêneas.Abstract-This paper studies the performance of a new joint radio resource management strategy in face of two different traffic scenarios. One scenario considers only real-time applications, concretely voice and videostreaming, while the other scenario considers real-time and non-real-time applications running concurrently. The performance analysis is done by comparing the new strategy with two well-known strategies used in scenarios where the UMTS and the WLAN networks are interconnected. In this comparison, the new proposed strategy obtained lower call blocking probabilities for both traffic scenarios.

In beyond 3G networks the user will not be aware of the access network technology used to provide a telecommunications service. Heterogeneous network technologies will be seamlessly integrated in one "common" access network, enabling users to move around and continuously receive their subscribed services. In a commercial environment, this network evolution requires that a telecommunications operator jointly manages its networks resources to improve the service offered to the users and, at the same time, to increase its revenue. Starting from the UMTS and WLAN interconnection architecture defined by 3GPP, this paper analyzes the performance of a new joint radio resource management strategy, comparing it with two well-known strategies used in scenarios where both networks, the UMTS and the WLAN, are interconnected. The new strategy presented in the paper bases its decisions on criteria related to user mobility characteristics and the application characteristics. The strategy also introduces the possibility of renegotiating new calls and reallocating running calls from one access network to another. The performance analysis considers two traffic scenarios. One where only real-time applications are running and other which also introduces TCP applications. The comparison studies show the proposed strategy outperforms the other strategies in what concerns call blocking probability and applications QoS support. Besides, the proposed strategy tends to reduce the handoffs between networks.
