“…However, because a number of other factors affect channel conditions, focusing simply on each APs load is not the best approach. Enterprise wireless local area networks (WLANs), are typically implemented in dense networks like those of office buildings or universities, have more severe channel and AP congestion issues [46]. A solution for WLANs that accounts for the number of users per AP and the channel load at the AP level is presented [47].…”

With the rise in smart devices, challenges such as traffic management particularly in the indoor scenarios have also increased. Wireless technologies seek to address these needs by using new radio access technologies that offer faster connectivity and access to the Internet. While 4G and 5G provide faster connectivity outdoor, Wi-Fi still remains the dominant technology in indoor scenarios due to its low cost and easy deployment. However, the IEEE 802.11 standard does not address the fairness of load in user-access point (AP) associations, resulting in unequal user distributions and subpar resource utilization. Densification has been employed in the past to address the aforementioned issue, but it is costly as it requires more hardware. Load balancing is necessary in high-density Wi-Fi networks in order to guarantee quality of service (QoS). To avoid the densification and issues related to load balancing at the APs this paper introduces tetra indicator Wi-Fi associations (TiWA), a combined SDN-based user association and channel assignment solution for Wi-Fi networks. TiWA considers multi-criteria to make better association decisions. The wireless stations from an overloaded OpenFlow enabled AP (OAP) are handed to an underloaded OAP by considering multi-metrics such as the packet loss rate, received signal strength indicator (RSSI), throughput and channel occupancy. Extensive experimentations on 5G EmPOWER platform show that TiWA surpasses previous research methods based on load balancing in terms of aggregated throughput by 39%, offering superior level of load fairness and supporting greater numbers of users and traffic prior to hitting the point at which densification is required.

Wireless network devices can attain the required level of quality of service (QoS) and maintain connectivity even after detaching from a current point of access. This detachment (mobility) requires various mobility management (MM) mechanisms, which present numerous challenges due to the exponential growth of wireless devices and the demands of users. The network must be heterogeneous and dense to manage such a heightened escalation of network traffic, increased number of devices, and different types of user demands. Such factors will seriously challenge MM solutions, eventually making the networks non-feasible from the dependability, adaptability, extensibility, and power consumption points of view. Therefore, novel perspectives on MM mechanisms are desired for 5G networks and beyond. This paper introduces an innovative discussion of the functional requirements of MM mechanisms for advanced wireless networks. We present comprehensive arguments on whether the prevailing mechanisms perceived by standard bodies attempt to fulfill the stated requirements. We complete this discussion through innovative qualitative evaluation. We assess each of the discussed mechanisms in terms of their capability to fulfill the dependability, adaptability, extensibility, and power consumption benchmarks for upcoming MM schemes. Hereafter, we demonstrate the outcome and the identified gaps/challenges for the planning and deployment of 5G MM frameworks and beyond. Next, we present the capabilities and possible MM solutions to tackle the gaps/difficulties. We complete our discussion by proposing a 6G MM architecture based on defined parameters.
