A Bandwidth Resource Allocation Method for Next Generation Network Based on Cooperative Game

It's an important research direction to guarantee QoS dynamically for diverse services of next generation network (NGN), especially to guarantee their required bandwidth resource. Firstly, a general frame about NGN resource allocation was introduced. Then, a NGN bandwidth resource allocation method based on cooperative game theory was put forwarded, which adopted cooperative game constrains, modeled and solved the bandwidth resource allocating. Finally, simulation results show this method can optimize the efficiency of whole network and can guarantee every service required bandwidth simultaneously.

I. Introduction

NGN has become a network development trend due to the integration of computer network and telecommunication network. It is an IP-based open converged network and has many core technologies such as soft-switch, optical networks, packet-transmission, service management and QoS guarantee, etc[1]. At the network border, NGN prefers multi-service and multi-system fusion, so how to provide network resources for these services is needed to be studied. It has been a hot topic to study network resource allocation method for diverse services in the next generation network recently.
