Abstract
With increasing in heterogeneity of the mobile and wireless networks, including the use of licensed and
unlicensed spectrum, and diversity in types of User Equipment (UEs), managing how traffic flows through
network while maintaining high level of users’ quality of experience is crucial. In this paper, we present a
novel traffic management mechanism that maintains the users’ quality of experience as well as
guaranteeing fairness among users. This traffic management has two separate elements, one that is
located at the UE and one that is located at the cloud-based network controller. While each UE maximizes
their utility function, which is modelled based on the QoS parameters, selfishly, at the network side, the
attempt is to maximize fairness among all users’ flows.
