| Abstract | In this research, a gateway selection algorithm is proposed to find the location of
gateways to interconnect a mobile data network and a fixed data network based on minimizing
average packet delays. The cost function to minimize consists of three separate terms with
different weighting factors on each term, namely, internet packet delay, intranet packet delay in
the mobile network and intranet packet delay in the fixed network. In addition, we use discrete
capacity assignments for each gateway in order to achieve the efficient use of the restricted
budget. After the derivation, the algorithm was programmed and then tested by various
problems. The modified algorithm is shown to be appropriate for the interconnection design
between networks that have different delay characteristics, for instance, a mobile data network
and a fixed data network. It also enables the designer to give different quality of services to
each networks. Finally, it improves the delay objective function by the use of discrete capacity
assignment for each gateway. The solution obtained from the algorithm is applicable provided
that the average values of the input traffic rates are known, and the input traffic variation is
small during the service time |
