Abstract:
In this paper, we present two scenarios of the CARMNET system application in wireless networks. The CARMNET system is an advanced experimental resource allocation framework based on the Network Utility Maximization model that may be integrated with a standard telecom operator infrastructure. Having developed the CARMNET system, we tested it in a publicly available wireless network, operated by the city of Lugano, Switzerland. In the presented scenarios, the CARMNET was employed to extend the network coverage and to improve it by providing the feature of seamless handover. The results indicate the ability of successful integration of the CARMNET system with an existing real-world network.
