Observation System Resource Planning in Presence of Access Control Based on Volume of Resource Occupied by Traffic Flows

Abstract

Due to various recent improvements in cellular technology, communication networks now offer information flows with a wide range of transmission speed and service quality characteristics. These characteristics are more highly noticeable in intelligent networks, particularly when IoT technology is used. Regulation and high-quality transmission of such massive volumes of data present severe issues among virtual operators engaged in the communications sector and utilizing cellular network infrastructure to provide video surveillance services for its consumers. Unfortunately, no single approach exists that enables the execution of high-quality incoming traffic flow maintenance and the allocation of information transmission resources in diverse networks. One of the methods to address these issues is mathematical modelling, which takes into consideration the unique characteristics of traffic flows that emerge and are approved for servicing. Our work addresses this problem by designing a resource allocation strategy for an isolated LTE network cell with heterogeneous traffic flows while sharing its radio resources. Traffic sources considered are operator surveillance system's video cameras that use cellular network infrastructure to deliver data to analytical centers. A mathematical model is used to study the process of sharing a resource, which takes into consideration the priority of real-time traffic, the elasticity property during file transfer, and the access restriction for all threads, based on the quantity of resource held by each thread. When sharing the resources of an isolated LTE network cell with heterogeneous traffic flows. Traffic sources are surveillance system operators' video cameras that use cellular network infrastructure to deliver data to analysis centers. Algorithms for evaluating the characteristics of the service of applications are constructed and the dependence of the characteristics on the restriction of access is investigated. Using the developed model, a scenario of dynamic distribution of the access node resource between incoming sessions has been developed, which allows creating conditions for differentiated servicing of heterogeneous traffic flows based on access restrictions and resource loading by each of the considered flows.
