摘要：The mobile data traffic has grown exponentially due to availability of smart phones at affordable prices and wide internet usage. Today internet usage has become a necessity more than a luxury. The cellular operators are finding many ways to handle this traffic by upgrading cellular infrastructure which is expensive and through offloading mobile data traffic using femtocells and Wi-fi. Many researchers have provided cost effective and efficient solutions on mobile data offloading. We provide a survey on different mobile data offloading techniques by classifying them into homogeneous and heterogeneous offloading. This survey helps to find the technical aspects of different mobile offloading techniques and possible enhancements or benefits related to them.
