A Survey Paper on Multi-Homed Services Satisfying QoS in Heterogeneous Wireless Access Networks?

Multi-homed services in heterogeneous wireless access networks are quite popular nowadays, which results in the increased usage of multi-interfaced devices. In a networking environment with the presence of both single and multi-homed network for Resource Allocation, the best available wireless access network at its location is assigned for the single network and all the available bandwidth is utilized by the multi-homing network. Fair Queuing with Deficit Round-Robin, provides fair sharing of network resources. Use of available multiple paths with minimized end-to-end delays and packet reordering between the source and destination are provided by Effective Delay Controlled Load Distribution. Due to the wide usage of multi-homed services, battery drain is the major problem. Thus, Dynamic Load Distribution and Packet Reordering, meets the Quality of Service (QoS) under delay-constraints resulting in Power-Efficiency (reduces power consumption).
