Simultaneous deployment of multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs)
and multiple bands of the same RATs in a given coverage area are yet
another hot topic in industry since spectrum gets more fragmented and
today's operators handle various RATs in parallel. Traffic steering
aims at distributing the offered load in an optimal manner across
different RATs and bands in order to fulfil the desires of both the
network operators and the end-users. This concise white paper presents
the fundamental concepts involved in the design of generic traffic
steering algorithms, and provides a brief description of some
primitive traffic steering algorithms explaining the intuition behind
them.

NoMoR has a extensive Multi-RAT Simulator for different RATs (HSPA
and LTE) being used for professional services. The individual RAT
simulators are able to carry out system level simulations with
multiple cells/UEs deployments almost in real-time, and their results
are well calibrated at 3GPP standardization evaluations.

Amongst others the simulator can be used by:

• carrying out multi-RAT system level simulations with different
RATs and deployment scenarios,

• development and testing of different traffic steering algorithms,
and

• conducting offline analysis for comparing the performance of
various traffic steering algorithms and policies.
