Moreover, we also evaluate and examine the possibility to take advantage of the fact of using interworking concepts such as lightweight Internet protocol (LWIP) and LTE-WLAN aggregation (LWA) while making the scheduling decisions. Such a solution would contribute to the software-defined networking (SDN) approach, where multi-RAT aware scheduler adapts to dynamic channel conditions to provide robustness against severe real-time channel conditions. Finally, we provide comparative analysis of multi- RAT scenarios and evaluate the QoE performance of different scheduling algorithms with SINR based information centric LWA switching and QoE-aware LWA switching by using RANC.
