Abstract(in English) With rapid increases in demand for mobile data, mobile data offloading by deploying wireless local area network (LAN) access points (APs) has been an attractive approach to alleviate mobile network operators' (MNOs') cellular network congestion. MNOs ought to reap the profit from the huge mobile data demand. However, it is reported that one of the largest Chinese MNO, China Mobile, has suffered from profit falls even for huge mobile traffic increase. The reason is that traditional methods to deploy wireless LAN APs in a heuristic manner do not consider MNO's profit. This poses a question: How to deploy wireless LAN APs to maximize MNO's profit? Existing works concentrated either on cost reduction effect of wireless LAN data offloading from MNOs's perspective, or on maximization of mobile users (MUs) fulfillment from MUs' perspective. In this paper, we formulate a MNO's profit maximization problem by considering optimal wireless LAN APs deployment, to answer the aforementioned question.
