Computing and Radio Resource Management Interactions in Flexible Radio Environments

Due to the wireless industry tendencies, different radio access technologies will coexist in a heterogeneous environment. Software defined radio, as a concept that tries to provide flexibility, might ease the integration of that environment. The goal of this work is to introduce the concept of computing resource management, that working in cooperation with the radio resource management strategies leading to minimize computing costs assuring the same or better QoS in such future heterogeneous systems. Furthermore, the action of computing management might help to bring balance over the communication load.
