title = "Adaptive load balancing with preemption for multimedia cellular networks",
abstract = "Efficient bandwidth management is necessary in order to provide high quality service to users in a multimedia wireless/mobile network. In this paper, we propose an on-line load balancing algorithm with preemption. This technique is able to balance the traffic load among cells accommodating heterogeneous multimedia services while ensuring efficient bandwidth utilization. The most important features of our algorithm are its adaptability, flexibility and responsiveness to current network conditions. In addition, our online scheme to control bandwidth adaptively is a cell-oriented approach. This approach has low complexity making it practical for real cellular networks. Simulation results indicate the superior performance of our algorithm.",
